| ND fans on CFB hate it. They were expecting Oregon*

| More Illinois exposure and a win.*

| You get a chance to schedule ND, you do it. Eat shit Purdue. *

|
| Agreed. Much more upside and less downside than playing Mizzou

|
| I know this is FURG-esque scheduling but I presume FUJW

| Not great not much to gain.*

| Other than our fans getting to see us play at a historic venue and…

| Definitely take that over the Mizzou game. Big Ten plus ND is a difficult grind for any program.*
Posted by gullit
|
| Agreed. We’ll most likely lose both, but there’s more to gain from beating perpetually

| I'm choosing to believe the NIL coffers are full in preparation of these games

| Screw it, that’s awesome. Scheduling cupcakes to go 6-6 gets you nowhere these days.

| I thought the pendulum swung back on that? With the expanded playoff field and 9 conference games

| Yeah. I know I’m supposed to hate it, but I don’t*

| Though I will say, can we scrap the Minzoz game if we’re doing this? I don’t need that one*

|
| This replaces the Miznoz games
Posted by jdl
|
| Perfect*
Posted by OB25
|
| The Miznoz series was terrible. Not sure this is much better, but just win the games*

| The chance to watch the Illini in South Bend >>>>>>>>> Columbia, MO*
