per ESPN:
Craig from Duluth, Minn.
Affiliation: Minnesota
Big Ten games: 8
Nonleague plan: One home-and-home game against a decent "Group of Five" Conference foe (Syracuse, California, TCU, etc.) and three games against FBS non-power conference foes (ex: San Jose State, UNLV, Air Force, Colorado State). The noncon games should be with foes that are within an easy drive of an airport that connects directly to MSP or DLH airports. Since I like to travel to fun places, the game with UNLV could be an annual event as far as I'm concerned.
Neutral-site games: Assuming anyone would be interested in playing us at a neutral site, one such game every four years would be plenty. That would give each student who goes to the Minnesota an opportunity to travel to such a game.
FCS oppponents: I am not opposed to FCS opponents occasionally. Lord knows we haven't been good enough lately to take them for granted as "sure wins." But they don't really excite the fan base.
