FIU plans to play Kansas St. in football in 2005

Staff and wire reports
Posted April 10 2004

Officials from Kansas State and Florida International confirmed they have agreed in principle to football games in 2005 and 2006. Both games would be played at KSU Stadium.

"We have talked, agreed in principle, but have not consummated it yet," Jim Epps, K-State senior associate athletic director, told the Kansas City Star. "I hope it happens."

FIU coach Don Strock said he's excited about the opportunity to play K-State.

"We understand they are in the upper echelon. They can be a great measuring stick for where we want to be headed," Strock said. "The guys are awfully excited to play someone with a national reputation."

FIU also plans to play Texas Tech in 2005, Alabama in 2006 and 2009 and Iowa in 2008, according to the report in the Star.

"We're building a program. Obviously, it's a lot easier for us to recruit when we're playing teams like Kansas State than if we were playing a Division I-AA," Strock said.
