East:
App: North Carolina (2022), South Carolina (2025)
CCU: Kansas (2020)
GS: BYU (2021)
GSU: North Carolina (2022), Vanderbilt (2024)
Troy: NC State (2020), Miss St (2027)

West:
stAte: Iowa St (2025)
UL: Ole Miss (2019)
ULM: none
USA: none
TXST: Baylor (2022), Arizona St (2024)

Only a total of 12? CUSA East has 17. I didn't look at the West. I honestly didn't realize Sun Belt teams had this hard of a time getting P5s scheduled at home.

Why is this?

Because of the ODU VA Tech series? Apart from this deal and Marshall's deals (which are very similar to Troy's deals both will host (Boise St and) NC State; Pitt and Miss St are comparable), I don't see better deals in CUSA. In fact, App St will host S. Carolina which is the best home game when considering both conferences.

CUSA East:

Charlotte: Duke (2021), Maryland (2022), North Carolina (2025)
FIU: Miami (2021) - not sure if this is a true home game though
FAU: none
Marshall: NC State (2018), Pittsburgh (2020)
MTSU: Duke (2019), Missouri (2022)
ODU: VA Tech series (2018-2031), Wake Forest (2020)
WKU: Louisville (2019, at Nashville), Indiana (2021)

CUSA West:

LA Tech: Baylor (2023), NC State (2025)
UNT: California (2022), TX Tech (2027)
Rice: Wake Forest, Baylor (2019)
USM: Miss St (2024)
UTEP: TX Tech (2020)
UTSA: Baylor (2018)

Good point. Pretty sure FIU's is a legit home game. They actually do a good job of hosting P5s and their attendance still stinks.

I think App State has done a heck of a job with scheduling since they moved up. Happy for them and still wish we were in the same conference. Glad we at least renewed the series.

The FIU-Miami game will probably be played at Marlin's park. FIU stadium doesn't have enough seats and they definitely won't play as the home team at Hard Rock Stadium.
