Interesting thread down below lead to FIUFanatic listing FIU's home and home's over the next four to five years: Rutgers, Duke, Louisville (4-game home and away), Texas A&M, and UCF (also a 4 game, home and away series). That should give us at least one interesting OOC game per year.
I was interested to see what home games I should be looking for from our other SBC brethern.

You can find the future schedules for ALL teams here.

Ok, well other than FIU's listed above. Other enviable home & home's include MTSU and surprisingly WKU. Congrat's to them both.
We have Louisville coming next year.
Memphis series starts up again.....not exactly 'marquee' but it's a favorite among the fans.
Not exactly FIU's slate.....but hopefully, it'll improve.
OK
UNT has multi-year home-home series with Army and SMU. Both will put butts in seats. SMU as a nearby, hated, private school and Army will draw very well as military academies traditionally do.

Congrat's on the Army game. I don't think we could play one of the service academies with our 18k stadium; maybe after phase II when we expand to ~24K. There are quite a few military facilities around here (Homestead AFB, SouthCom, the Naval base in the Keys, etc.), I think we'd get a big turn-out to see The Navy or Air Force.

We had nearly 27,000 in attendance when we hosted Navy in '07
Of course we are on the top of the list of everyone right now but, this is not too bad.
USA -vs- Mississippi State -
Away 2014 Home 2016
USA -vs- North Carolina State -
Away 2012 Home 2015
USA -vs- Navy -
Away 2013 Home 2014 Away 2015 Home 2016
USA -vs- Kent State -
Home 2013 Away 2014
I'd say WKU vs. UK but it isn't at HOME
Navy- At Annappolis 2012 At FAU 2017 (I think)
They pay us 400K, and we pay them 200K for the trip down here. Not a bad bit of profit for a 1 for 1.

That seems fair.
We've got Memphis coming in a couple of more times after this year, and Vandy comes to MT sometime around 2049.
GaTech coming in 2011.
stAte's home game with Louisville is a very good get.

Impressive, those are some great home games to look forward to.

Thanks.

Additionally, as I understand it, in 2010 & 2011 USA will be considered an FCS team and all wins/losses will count as FCS for both South Alabama and its opponents during those two years. From 2012 on, all wins/losses will count as FBS for their oponents. In the interim, including even this year, USA must adhere strictly to and are governed by all FBS rules despite being "NCAA varsity unclassified" this year and FCS the next two years (ineligible to compete for FCS postseason as I understand it).
I could be mistaken and should I be, please correct me
