Iowa State canceled 3 future football games with Kent State...

Thanks for that information. The other future schedules on that website seem a bit incomplete. I thoguht we have another game with Penn State sometime in the distant future like 2015-16? I would like to see us play Pitt again, and start hitting that recruiting hotbed a little harder. Here's what I have seen and know to be other future OOC games:

2011: S. Alabama, Lafayette, @ Purdue, @ Kansas St.
2012: Towson; @ Kentucky, @ Rutgers, @ Army
2013: Liberty, @ Missouri, @ South Alabama
2014: South Alabama, Army, @ Ohio State, @ Virginia
2015: Coastal Carolina, @ Illinois

Not sure why we give a team like S. Alabama a game on their turf other than to help with recruiting down there. Some games I'm definitely down for are Lafayette, @ Rutgers, @ Army and @ Virginia.
 
They need to stop playing those D1AA teams and play some SEC teams and collect the money.
 
We get 4 OOC games, and I think their current formula is a nice balance. A warmup with a IAA school for a W, a winable and possible home IA game and two BCS road paydays that take a much more flawless game, but the key again is those paydays. Getting 3 or 4 paydays from unwinable SEC/BCS schools is too much selling out our kids for the $$$.
 
Some updates, that Lafayette is actually Louisiana-Lafayette and not Lafayette a DIAA school in pennsylvania. And the Purdue game got dumped for Alabama.

2011: @ Alabama, S. Alabama, Loiusiana-Lafayette, @ Kansas St.
2012: Towson; @ Kentucky, @ Rutgers, @ Army
2013: Liberty, @ Missouri, @ South Alabama
2014: South Alabama, Army, @ Ohio State, @ Virginia
2015: Coastal Carolina, @ Illinois
