We hear UM football is close to finalizing a deal to play at Appalachian State (Boone, N.C.) next season, with the teams playing a game at Sun Life in a future year. Appalachian State, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, is 7-1, with its only loss to Clemson. The Canes needed to fill an opening, and Appalachian State was one school that could accommodate UM on short notice.

UM’s other 2016 non-conference games: Florida A&M, FAU and at Notre Dame.

It certainly wouldn't be the 1st time a Sun Belt team hosted a P5 team.

If an SEC plays on the road against a group of five team, then I judge them.

Just like I judge Missouri, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, etc.

Vanderbilt gets a pass. South Carolina played at UCF two years ago, but UCF made a BCS bowl at least.

I know Miami isn't in the SEC, but this is equally as embarrassing.

Well...its HOT HOT HOT in Boone as well so I'm sure that was part of Miami's appeal.

who gives a frick?

if anything, respect to them for "anytime, anywhere".

P5 schools OOC barely even travel to one another outside of rivalry games (hurr durr neurtralsl site ONLY!!!!@21), so I dont see the point in bitching about this. It's still college football and a great thing for App.

No problem here - props to UM for making it happen.

Sure is better than beating up on FAU at home.

Miami had pretty good luck in North Carolina this weekend. Maybe that's why they're going back.

Don't like it.

This could hurt App. St.'s strength of schedule next year.

This is no different than when Alabama came to Duke a few years back. App. St. and ECU are the football fanatic schools in North Carolina.

This sounds like something to see, here. Miami in Boone? I'd go to that.

Miami opened the season against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport in 2003 when they were a top program.

I wonder what Miami's getting paid to get beat at App St's house.
