It's bull shit. Oats had the balls to schedule and play them in Phoenix. Knowing they were loaded and we lost so much from the prior season. Not only that, it capped a tough three-game stretch where we played Purdue in Canada, @ Creighton, and 'Zona in Phoenix.
Bring on Illinois though.

Assuming Arizona backed out of coming to play us? Wow, that's weak. Are they fined for doing that after we participated in their part of it last year?

Ok, so I was assuming that was the case. Never said you had to do anything, but assuming based off a comment isn't crazy.

I'll readily admit I post things that confuse people; largely intended. There is nothing confusing about this story.
AZ played Bama with an agreement for a return game.
2023-24 happened, both on AZ's case and Bama's.
AZ cancelled their return trip.
Why? In my view they looked and saw the game as an early Q1 loss: dismissing the idea it could be an early season Q1 win. Which brings me back to why?
Appears from this article that the return game has been moved to the 2025/26 year.
Illinois is a very good team for a home and home nonconference games.
