Yes, ultimately, that's all the good reasons to do this. But....Fordham? At least they had a winning record this year.Ok, so we swapped out the SELA game in November for an FCS opponent early in season. This seems okay: we have a chance to start 3-0 and work out some hiccups before the OU game, and get another home game and recruiting visits when the weather is warm and we all still have hope for the season. Plus now we have two bye weeks late in the season. Not bad.
"This will be a tremendous opportunity for the team," said Fordham head coach Joe Conlin. "Playing a game at an FBS power five school, especially one as steeped in tradition as Nebraska, will be an experience that the team will remember for years."
"It's a great honor for our program to open the 2021 season competing against a high-quality opponent in Nebraska," said Fordham Director of Athletics Ed Kull. "Kicking off the season in Lincoln will give our fans a new experience in a city and stadium with a rich football history and tradition. After a successful spring season, I know our coaches and players will be thrilled to compete in this type of environment. We are looking forward to elevating the national brand and identity of Fordham Football with this prestigious match-up."
