Notably missing is the University of Chicago, where atheist jerk president Maynard Hutchins had abolished football in 1939. He believed that sports, religion, among other things, were distractions.

I remember seeing U. of Chi. on the schedule last year. They lack a football program to this day, don't they? I didn't know that was where Amos Alonzo Stagg coached. The only thing I knew about their football team was that Elmer Gantry starred there years earlier. I believe he was an end.

Look on the bright side. They will find another use for the stadium at UoC that will be of historical significance down the road.

What I noticed is that University of New Mexico is not on the list. As usual my Lobos get no love. So I looked it up myself and found the schedule:

9/28 @ Wyoming
10/4 vs. Western New Mexico
10/11 vs. *Arizona State
10/19 @ *Texas-El Paso
10/26 vs. Colorado State @ Denver, CO
11/9 vs. *New Mexico State
11/16 vs. *Northern Arizona
11/23 @ *Arizona
11/30 vs. *Texas Tech
