Football adds home-and-home against FIU, will play Robert Morris in 2021
The Central Michigan football team enters Kelly/Shorts Stadium before its game against Akron Sept. 14.
Central Michigan football has added three games to its future schedule between two programs.
The Chippewas announced a home-and-home series with FIU, along with a game against FCS Robert Morris.
The series begins in Mount Pleasant on Sept. 25, 2021, and it will be the first meeting between the programs.
CMU will travel to Miami to cap off the home-and-home against FIU Sept. 7, 2024.
"As we prepare to head to South Florida this weekend for a game at Miami, it is clear what great fans we have in that area and this gives us another opportunity to play in front of those alums and supporters," said Athletic Director Michael Alford in a press release. "It also brings another quality opponent to Kelly/Shorts stadium as we continue to build attractive home slates for our fans."
FIU will receive a $350,000 guarantee from CMU for the game in Mount Pleasant, while the Chippewas will receive just $100,000 for playing in Miami, according to Kevin Kelley of FBSchedules.
Due to scheduling of the game against FIU, the game at LSU has moved to Sept. 18, 2021.
CMU has also added a game against Robert Morris, an FCS opponent, for Sept. 11, 2021.
