We previously reported that Northwestern and Nevada were scheduled for September 16th of 2017. Of course, the real story was that Northwestern was paying the eye-watering sum of $1.2 million to Nevada in order to get them to Evanston.
Today, the Reno Gazette Journal reported that the game has been rescheduled, moving from September 16th to September 2nd, which will make Northwestern vs Nevada the curtain raiser for both team's 2017 season. Also of note, Nevada's price has gone up. It will cost Northwestern an extra $100,000, bringing the total money being shelled out to $1.
