FBSschedules.com says the 23/24 games against CSU are a done deal. Below is the list of known OOC games. The number in () are the number of home games known, assuming the PAC 12 keeps with CU getting 4 PAC 12 home games in odd years and 5 in even years.
2019 (6):
08/31 - vs Colorado State (Denver)
09/07 - Nebraska
09/14 - Air Force
2020 (6):
09/05 - at Colorado State
09/12 - Fresno State
09/19 - at Texas A&M
2021 (7):
09/04 - UMass
09/11 - Texas A&M
09/18 - Minnesota
2022 (6):
09/03 - TCU
09/10 - at Air Force
09/17 - at Minnesota
2023 (6):
09/02 - at TCU
09/09 - Nebraska
09/16 - Colorado State
2024 (6):
08/31 - North Dakota State
09/07 - at Nebraska
09/14 - at Colorado State
2025 (6) - one schedule spot open
08/30 - Georgia Tech
??/?? - Missouri (Rumored: if the deal is signed with CU going to Columbia in 2030)
2026 (5) - one schedule spot open
09/05 - at Georgia Tech
09/19 - at Northwestern
2027 (6) - one schedule spot open
09/11 - Northwestern
09/18 - Kansas State
2028 (5) - two schedule spots open
09/16 - at Kansas State
My guess is that the 2025 and 2026 open dates will be against a G5 school in a home and home. With the 2025 game on the road and the 2026 game in Folsom, that will make it 6 home games both years. IMO George had looked at the numbers and knows that single game contracts are going to go up in appearance fees to the schools doing the one game deal with P5 schools. Again IMO he believes that CU in a home and home where they keep all the gate for the game in Folsom will make CU more money over two years than two single game deals where CU might have to pay over $1,000,000 to the other school. He has to have looked at the numbers for the games against D1AA with lower ticket prices and discount/free tickets (before he got here) and knows there have small profit margins. That is after you take away the cost of hosting a game, then add in the appearance fees.
