MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State football's 2024 season is still years away, but one more aspect of its schedule is clear.

The Star Press has learned, through a public records request, the Cardinals entered into an agreement this year to play a road game Sept. 14, 2024, against the University of Miami in Miami Gardens, Florida. Miami, a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, will pay Ball State $1.5 million for the matchup. The payment is due no later than Feb. 15 the year following the game.

If a school breaches the contract at any point it owes the other $1.
