Mizzou pays big bucks for nonconference games

COLUMBIA, Mo. • Last week Missouri announced an upcoming three-game football series with Middle Tennessee, with games scheduled for Columbia in 2016 and 2023 and a game in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for 2022.

The contract includes an interesting clause. According to the agreement, obtained by the Post-Dispatch in an open records request, Mizzou can reschedule the 2022 game under one condition:

“Should the University of Missouri need to move the game designated for 2022 at Middle Tennessee State University for the sole purpose of scheduling a nonconference home and home series that same year with a Big 12 institution, both parties agree after other options are fully explored to adjust the date of the game scheduled for Sept.
