NDSU adds the University of Arizona to the 2022 schedule

Here is an article from the Fargo Forum about NDSU adding the University of Arizona to the 2022 schedule.

Here is an excerpt from the article.

The Sept. 17, 2022, game at Arizona Stadium in Tucson is one of three with Pac-12 teams in a five-year period. The Bison are playing at the University of Oregon in 2020 and at Colorado in 2024.
NDSU will get a $425,000 guarantee from Arizona with the Wildcats on the hook for a $1 million buyout. It's also further evidence any games with FBS schools in the Midwest region like the Big Ten Conference are long gone.

FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State University and the University of Arizona have signed a one-game contract to play in the 2022 football season.

The Bison and Wildcats will play Saturday, Sept. 17, at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. It will be NDSU's first game with Arizona and the second of three against Pac-12 opponents.

NDSU has road games scheduled with the Oregon Ducks on Sept. 5, 2020, and the Colorado Buffaloes on Aug. 31, 2024.

Arizona has been to bowl games seven of the last nine years. The Wildcats have not played a team from the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

NDSU has a 9-3 record against teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Bison have won their last six straight FBS games including last year's 23-21 victory over the 11th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Big Ten has a league mandate against scheduling FCS teams. Apparently playing cupcake FBS teams is no problem though as has been disused on here numerous times.

NDSU now has games against 3 Pac 12 teams (Oregon, Colorado and Arizona).

Two losses to NDSU and one to South Dakota was more than enough for Minnesota.

I'm hoping Matt Larson can keep hammering the phones and get as many Pac 12 games as he can. If we beat Oregon in 2020, you can count the Pac-12 out for adding any further games like our current position with the B12 and B1G.

Jeremy Jorgenson is actually the one that makes the calls...then he ropes Larson in once they actually start showing interest.

I wish we could play creampuffs like Arizona

$425,000 isn't much. Especially being 6 years out.

That's what happens when you might actually beat them.
