2025 Football Schedule????

[BambooRdApp]

WCU is fine for our FCS opponent if it can work out, but if they're still holding to the home and home, it doesn't happen.

Surely not. If there is even one FCS school (and I'm including NDSU, Montana, etc.) that DG would be willing to hear a pitch for a home and home deal from...then regardless of all he has done, he is no longer deserving of the job.

I believe a NC A&T done right...fcs home and home could work. We play one game at Kidd Brewer and then one at a neutral site. i.e. Bank of America stadium. They would force our home sellout form their tickets purchased, which the powers that be like to see. (Keeps season ticket sells at a premium) We could split ticket sales to the Bank of America game and technically it would be their home game but we would sell more tickets. So, it would be like having 7 home games the year of the away game.

Okay...you got me there. I was specifically speaking to a true home and home. One game in KBS and the return game played at a neutral site as an FCS school "home" game may work, depending on our take of the gate and such. I'd be open to an arrangement like that perhaps. Maybe versus ETSU at Bristol Motor Speedway if they ever decide to do a few more college games. I know it's been bounced around about bringing another back-to-back weekends college games to BMS and ETSU/APP would make good sense for one of those games. Assuming the other would again be UT and someone...WVU is the name I've heard.

An away game at an fcs school or at neutral site is a money losing proposition for our program given the cost to travel to away sites. We do not get a payday out of it. I do not logically see how or why we would ever agree to do that... unless some extenuating circumstances that may present itself.

Just for clarity, the game I know about.....I know from a different source than through APP and the contract is signed and my understanding is it is going to be announced very shortly. It will be week 1.

The WCU comment was completely separate, just saying that it was interesting Clark mentioned them in the PC.

I’ve been hoping for a series with a good G5. Maybe I can get you to “thank” this post if it’s any of the following? Memphis, USF, Tulane, Boise, UTSA, Navy, UAB. There’s a couple MWC teams other than Boise I’d like to play, mainly in California, and I’m kinda skeptical Gillin would sign up for that travel. Colorado State would be cool too.

We should try to get a series with Virginia Tech on the schedule so we can play them for the first time ever.

We have played V Tech before...

This is a very old inside joke from the old message board days, the old heads all know it. The game was such a disaster that we don't acknowledge it happened.

App typically pays FCS teams in the $300k-$375k range.

I stand corrected. I thought App paid less than $200k but maybe I’m thinking of the FCS days. Wonder if the Can’ts would accept a $300k game from App???

If CLTApp is referencing Week 1, 2025 (08/31) then none of those teams are available. SMU (if they are still referred to as G5), Charlotte, and Tulsa are available. All of the big names out of the MWC are full. I intentionally chose not to look at MAC teams considering we already have Toledo for 2025.

My best guess would be Charlotte in BofA. The Duke's Mayo Classic doesn't have a game scheduled yet for 2025.

Yeah if you’re saying they still have a week 1 opening in ‘25 then I would think that’s a pretty good guess. I guess there’s worse you can do, but with already having them scheduled ‘26-‘30 - can’t say that does too much for me. If we’re being honest, and maybe the admin feels differently, but I didn’t think the ECU game in BOA wasn’t all that well attended in totality. I can’t really imagine this would do any better.

Yeah those 3 had the openings. I was bummed going down your list seeing all were full. With the new playoff next year, it is more beneficial than ever to play top tier G5 teams. If it is Concord, perhaps they have a breakthrough 2024 and the matchup looks better. They also play UNC and UGA in 2025 so for their sakes, I hope they are better if they add us to the Non-Conf schedule

Speaking of potential future MWC opponents....First off it's great playing Wyoming this year but it would be nice to get a future MWC team to play us at home....other than Wyoming I would want Boise State, Fresno State or SDSU..

[Tru2ASU]

Louisville just had Indiana cancel 2 of 3 games, paying UofL 1 million to cancel games in 25 and 26...

Boise is open for an away game in 2026. They also do not have an east coast away game that year so maybe we could draw something up. They travel to GA So in 2024, Marshall in 2027 and ECU in 2028 so there is precedent from Boise's POV.

The same folks whining about UNC not scheduling us again seem to be the same putting down WCU.

I feel we should schedule first the NC FCS Public schools. We have 3 FCS teams NC Central, WCU, NC A&T.....4 if you count UNCC.(LOL) They need money like we need money. They should be high on our list.

I haven’t seen too much whining about playing WCU. I’ve seen (rightfully, imo) absolute resolve against playing them (or any other FCS) anywhere but in Boone. No FBS should ever travel to an FCS school. It makes no sense financially or competitively.

WCU wants to come to Boone, get their ass whoopin and a check…good. They want us in Cullowhee…absolutely not.

If they ask nicely we'll even show their players the jug that hasn't been to Cullowhee since before some of them were even born.

[appfanz]

We should NEVER EVER play an FCS team anywhere other than Boone. That is insane!

I believe I read a while back that a FBS team is prohibited from playing at a FCS school.

You

You are right. I made a mistake. No one was whining about WCU. My bad.

I hope we give them a paycheck if they want it. I am sure they could use it.

That was a bad post on my part. It is probably not my last.

[Cro-Magnon App]

As long as they don’t have Hoover.

[YesAppCan]

I’ve never heard of an FBS team playing on the road at an FCS. I don’t want that either.

[Saint3333]

We don’t ever need to play WCU again if they don’t want to travel to Boone and accept our standard payment. That era much like the LR era is dead.

[T-Dog]

I’ve never heard of an FBS team playing on the road at an FCS. I don’t want that either.

The only exception in the last couple decades was Army playing (and losing) at Yale for the 100th anniversary of the Yake Bowl.

Sun Belt rules forbid away games at FCS foes.

[DontPlayWithYosef]

No interest in WCU or Charlotte - hope there’s more to come with our future schedules
