Really need to find a road game with someone who will give us a home/home and come to Dallas in 2025. Lots of scheduling work to do with all this conference realignment going on. Local series with TCU, UNT & Baylor should be high priority with all the travel we are going to have playing in the ACC. Might need to look at former WAC/CUSA/AAC opponents like Tulsa & Rice as well to help fill future year's schedules. Would be nice to not have to always look for one sided FCS games in Ford

I might have a solution.

Army dropped Syracuse and we are looking for a hole to fill.

There is precedent of playing conference opponents as a non conference game. It isn't normally done but it has been done recently.

Too me this is a no brainer. Conference members should be willing to help out each other. It could be a one off game but maybe we just schedule a home and home. Play the 2nd game later in the decade.

We can't fill your hole in '25 as we are already are playing you.

I think that's unfortunately too much to hope for. The Syracuse option is the best one for both schools, and at least it's a P5 road matchup replacing what was an expected P5 road matchup. That 2025 home game is likely to have to be a best-one-off-option-we-can-find sort of game.
