So, the U of MN basically paid out $800,000 to move the North Carolina series back by 10 years - from 2013 & 2014 to 2023 & 2024. that's $80,000 a year in my math.
FWIW - the buyout of the first North Carolina series happened in large part because of changes at Head Coach and AD. (Brewster and Maturi to Kill and Teague).
so, the $800,000 question - will the Gophers have the same Head Coach and AD in 2023 as they do today?
Sounds like all the bitching on GH about Tennessee Tech got Coyle's attention. LOL Much better scheduling!

The financial impact of the UNC buyout remains one of the most mis-reported stories of all time.
Too Late. HWY already doesn't want you back in TCF.

They're still going to schedule against weaker competition like everyone else. It looks like the strategy is to play one better team in the non-conference and two weaker ones.
Good road trip opportunity!
Sweet, now add a team like this every year and rotate it around the country so we get some fun away games.

I have no problem with that scenario. I do have a problem when the home conference schedule consists of Purdue, NW, Indiana and Iowa.

Not sure what some fans want. 2014 and 15 they had TCU. 2016 and 17 Oregon State, 2020 and 2025 BYU, 2021 and 22 Colorado. Now N.C. Seems like they are playing a team from a decent conference almost every year.
It's not going to be every year. They'll play road non-conference games in the years they have 5 home conference games. They're going to want to always have 7 home games. But they have set up some nice away games every other year.

It is pretty tough to avoid playing anyone likely to be in the top 25.The "fans" want whatever they didn't do.
Football scheduling is incredibly difficult. This is lost on the EA NCAA Football 2012 crowd.

That is true, I didn't think about that. That is a good list!
