We should play 2 games a year against any of the following for $$$$$.
Notre Dame, Purdue, IU, OSU, MSU, UM, PITT, WVU or Penn State.

We should be playing a number of games against big-time competition.  Not only do you make "money" but you're also tested plus it's great for fan interest.  While we had a great year this past season, our out of conference schedule leaved a lot to be desired, with Notre Dame & Navy being the only "name teams" that we played.  I'd rather play a difficult out-of-conference schedule and lose on the road then play some of the teams we beat at home.

Coach Calhoun mentioned that playing 4 or 5 games a year against big time competition is not what he and the program need at this time.  count on more schools from lower Dive 1 or mid major D1 scheduled.  Sprinkle in a d2 school as well i guess.   It gives us home games and we know we are very good at home.  Just my thoughts,

I thought the season schedule was just about on par with the other Horizon League schools. though I wouldn't mind seeing another big-time school on the schedule!  Michigan now, I think we are at Jackson St. and Ohio this year for return games!  We have played Michigan, Pitt, Air Force Minnesota, Ohio State, Northwestern and others in the past!
