NORMAL – Don’t write that Illinois State spring football schedule on your calendar in pen.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference announced Friday is it committed to playing an eight-game spring schedule beginning with the weekend of Feb. 19-21.
That means an addition is forthcoming for the Redbirds after Indiana State said earlier this week it was opting out of a spring season.
“We are working on re-drawing an entirely new schedule, currently gathering newly created facility conflicts (for those that have them),” Missouri Valley associate commissioner Mike Kern said.
The initial MVFC schedule had all 11 teams playing eight of its conference rivals.
