Apparently Stricklin has contacted "all 51 teams" in regards to trying to schedule a game for 2016-2017 to no avail so far.

Going to end up with a pair of neutral site made for TV games I imagine.

Another thing you could see is a single neutral sight game and an oddly set up home and home series where you get a team in a either 2016 or 2017 with the 2nd game not taking place until 2024 or later. It's not quite as clean, but it's a workable plan if no one can do 2016/2017 back to back.

The only other schools that would have trouble are small schools who don't already have a cross-conference rival. AKA: OM & MSU
