Monday Sept 12 by noon the kickoff time should be out.
It will likely be between a 2:30 - 6pm kickoff.

And people ask why college football attendance is dropping across the board, its crap like this. People cannot plan dates ahead of time, makes it hard.

You are so correct. Thank you, "TV" and ESPN! All so we can get the game computerized on glorious ESPN3. Actually, since it will be on ESPN3 with hundreds of other games, why do the forces that be care about what time the game is? Let NIU set the time now.

No chance this game is picked up by ESPN/CBSSN/ASN since its vs a FCS team. All FCS games after week 3 should be released for a kickoff time before the season starts as its ridiculous to hold the KO time hostage.

Man, you are ancient. Probably even older than the dirt that surrounds Huskie Stadium. Glad I'm not that old!

Yeah, and it used to be a Normal school until I got there. When I attended the "Castle on the Hill", our school colors were yellow and white. You youngsters will never know the troubles and hardships we faced. During those cold, bleak winters, I had to walk from one end of the campus to the other. Okay, so it was the length of the one building, but it was still tough for that time!
