Yeah, Indy's like BYU and Liberty (C-USA, cancelled Uconn in 2023) are in the process of schedule cleaning with their jump into conferences. On the flip side there will be alot of teams they scheduled but cancelled on, looking for OOC games because of it.Seems like there was a 4+ game series with BYU yet to be announced, but maybe that hasn’t been announced because circumstances have changed with BYU set to join the Big 12.
The 2023 Rice game replaced BYU. Liberty is also no longer on the 2023 schedule. I don’t think BYU is going to play us in 24 or 25 either as they are going to the Big 12. Lastly, this is the first I have heard of playing Merrimack in 2024.
Truth.... with the BYU cancellations both years and knowing there is an FCS game in 2024, DB would do well to add a 7th home game, like they've had in the past. Hopefully beefing it up with a P-5, then work hard on another P-5 like Virginia that's been rumored, to replace that BYU @ the RENT in 2025. Right now both years are the extreme home opposites of 2026 ( 2 out of 3 P-5's so far) and (3) 2027.That 2024 and 2025 home schedule is god awful...no P5 and a bunch of ho hum G5....yikes
