My guess would be 2030 vs UNCC for another Dukes Mayo Classic. It’s a total guess from me but two reasons I say that are - 1. Dukes usually likes to announce future games the week of kick-off and 2. The 2030 game on the future schedules list is listed as TBA where the others have a set date.

Gillin said the game to be announced in September would be in the next couple of years.

We can plan on this big announcement being followed by an even bigger announcement:

The first annual
High Country Polka Music Festival!
proudly produced by App State Athletics

Don’t laugh yet; given how Gillin's past concert production efforts have tanked, the polka angle might actually draw more fans.

There is a discussion on 247 about them. If we are losing money like is said to be it makes me wonder why we even do it? I can see trying it but after losing money on them it is just desperation or incompetence to keep doing it.

It’s scary that the pundits are now talking like this

Heck yeah, just what the sport needs as interest is trending down, let's go ahead and add in zero chance of upsets!! Our games against Chapel Hill were excessively boring so I get why they don't want to play those. The Penn St, Miami (2.0), Texas A&M, and Tennessee games were also really boring. Let's just take away all those.

I’m not arguing the point because my interest is way down, but do you have any measurable data that says interest is trending down?

Nothing besides anecdotally. I'm sure interest in the overall sport of college football is the same as it ever was due to the top 10 teams people care about, but just basing it off the time it took to sell out our season tickets after having a waiting list for 4 years (and we still don't know if that number was just "sold out" because they decreased available seats) and the general lack of activity on here or 247 and the general sentiment of posters here. Having people who have been here for decades say they don't care as much is not likely to bode well for us at least.

TV viewing drives the bus and those numbers aren't hurting. Difference is those that aren't tied to a top four conference are falling behind and quicker than ever.

Listening to the AppState podcast the other day, Gillin did mention that they would be announcing another BOA game in September. Wonder if State game might move there or if it'll be someone not on our future schedules? Anyone?

Unsure if related yet, but Gillin was trying to get a neutral site game against ECU for 2027 but I don’t know the status of this.

Hoping we sign a new long term agreement 2 in Boone 2 in Greenhell, 1 in Clt

I’d rather them all be in Charlotte every year and none in Boone to avoid going to that hell hole in eastern NC

I believe we will at some point in the future. The current belief is that the new agreement will not start in 2027. Coastal is lurking for a multi-sport agreement with ECU.

If not 2027, we'll have to wait 2029 unless they shuffle 2028 somehow. Right now we have an opening for next year, who are we going to get? I'm guessing FCS at home.

That seems to be the most likely at this point.
