For Cincy’s home game they could play that at the Bengal’s stadium. That would be cool — bigger payday for Cincy and easier for IU fans to go.
Georgia Tech has done this with their UGA game.
@kelly_32 Georgia already has Ga Tech on their schedule. Logic is pointing towards Cincy. But there's likely going to be a lot of movement on all this now that the new rules are in place. As has been pointed out, IU is going to want to have their required 10th P4 game, be a home game, if possible. That likely weeds out quite a lot of likely home and home partners, as no one is going to be clamoring to schedule a last minute road game for next year, even if it means bringing a program like IU in their own stadium in 28.
Cincy already has BC on their schedule next season. Why would they drop that to play IU?
It would be cool going forward, but I don't know why it would happen for '27

I'd love to see UK back on the schedule, especially if they can build off their success this year.
This is the correct answer. Since they've blown up everything traditional with CFB, maye they can throw this old fart a bone and bring back the Bourbon Barrel.

And at least at this particular moment in time, it looks like a really compelling matchup.
Looks to me like Arizona is the best fit… They could take Indiana States slot on 9/11/27.
Texas Tech works but I don’t like the match up… With the money they’re spending they should have a top 4-8 roster over the next 4 or 5 years… Going out of our way to schedule a game where the opponent has a better than 60% chance of beating us seems like lunacy to me…
Arizona looks like they’d give us good workout with a 50/50 shot at beating us…
The timing couldn’t be worse for this scheduling upgrade…in my opinion.We’ll be breaking in 3 out of 5 of our OL, a new QB, probably at least two new WR’s and several key guys on the D side of the ball… Seems to me like we’re just unnecessarily asking for trouble…
We should have a weak ACC team such as Virginia locked in long term. But when we had them, we didnt want them.
