The Big 12 Conference released the 2017 conference football schedule this afternoon. Iowa State will open up the season against Northern Iowa on August 31st or September 2nd, which certainly would be interesting if Iowa State was to open the season on a Thursday night. Keep your eyes open for that schedule change later on in the year.
Coach Campbell will get his second crack at Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes on the 9th of September. This time the game will be inside the friendly confines.
After the Iowa game, the Cyclones will have a bye week and then play ten straight games to end the season.
