RUSTON, La. (AP) - Louisiana Tech's football team will travel to Ole Miss in 2011, and to Illinois in 2012.
Athletics director Bruce Van De Velde and coach Sonny Dykes say the game at Mississippi will replace one originally scheduled as a Western Athletic Conference game against Boise State. The Broncos will leave the conference that year.
The game at Illinois will be Sept. 22, 2012.
Tech will get $825,000 for the Mississippi game and $775,000 for the one at Illinois.
Tech still has a home game, on Sept. 10, to fill in its 2011 schedule.
Houston highlights the home non-conference schedule in 2011 with home conference games against Hawaii, New Mexico State and San Jose State also scheduled.
