SD UND Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Teams can play a total of 28 games + 3 games in a MTE (Multi team event) or 29 games +2 games in a multi team event. UND has 32 games on it's schedule (1 exhibition game and a 2 team MTE in Arkansas. SO that leaves 29 scheduled games. Minus 16 conference games, which leaves us at 13 games to schedule. Iowa- buy game probably in the neighborhood of 80-100K Elon- Home and Home from last season Pacific- home and home from last season CS Fullerton- home and home from last season UC Riverside- pairing a game with CS Fullerton road trip Portland- Home and home from last season Utah Tech- I believe this is year 4 or 5 of a 6 year contract for games after Utah Tech made the jump to D1- Nebraska- Buy game probably in the same neighborhood of the Iowa buy game amount Big Sky/Summit League Challenge- No Colorado and Northern AZ- scheduled by the AD's and conference Commissioners. Then you have the 3 Non D1 games- let's look at potential reasons why: Nov. 16 vs. VCSU- first two games are @ Iowa and home vs Elon- and then 3 in a row @ Pacific and in Arkansas- need to schedule a home game with a good chance of winning- You're not going to be able to pay another "Like conference" opponent to travel for a one and done on a Thursday. Nov. 28 vs Concordia- coming off the 3 game road stretch- Need a home game to avoid playing 5 games straight on the road. Need a winnable game in case the 3 game road trip doesn't go well. Dec. 12 vs. Waldorf- Finals week- schedule with former UND alum Nigel Jenkins- get a 2nd home game for finals week and not go on the road. Most other schools are in finals this week also and are looking to stay at home or close to home. These schedules are made 2-3 years in advance with planning around yourself and 340+ other schools.. it's not just simple and easy to call Ben Jacobsen or Tim Miles and say "hey come up on December 5th and play a game vs us" I can guarantee you that UND tries to play good regional teams or other mid majors that may have a connection to this region, but it takes 2 staffs, and 2 ad's to agree for a game, and the financial piece is always there as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
