$1.1 million dollar pay out to play Illinois in Champaign.. not bad.

Wonder what we are trying to pay for? Regardless, great recruiting tool for all the guys in Illinois we have offered.

Except it's six years down the road. All the guys we're recruiting now will be out of college by the time this one comes around lol. But if the staff wants to build a continued network there, I agree, this is a great thing for the future

These are the schools we should be scheduling more, if we can

Oof, even if they redshirt they'd miss it by one year.

I feel like a game with Minnesota might be coming too in the future. Maybe I'm just hoping for one....

Fast Fact: Wyoming played Minnesota in 1946 and lost badly....46-0. We ended up going 1-8-1 in our first season after the war in which Wyoming dropped the sport from 1943 to 1945 due to wartime shortages.

BTW, we never played Illinois before. But we did play Northwestern in 1979 and lost 27-22 at their place in Evanston, Illinois.
