Missouri football’s 2024 schedule is set, but attention now turns to the 2025 opponents. Miami (OH) recently announced their 2025 non-conference schedule, which notably did not include Missouri despite a contract signed in 2016. It was speculated that the cancelation may be due to past leadership mistakes. Missouri will have to pay a cancelation fee, and now has an opening in their schedule. Potential opponents for a fourth non-conference game in 2025 include teams like Liberty, with their recent success and appearance in the Fiesta Bowl. Missouri currently has three home games scheduled against Kansas, Louisiana, and UMass, and hosting a fourth game would cancel out the buyout fee for the canceled Miami game. The situation presents an opportunity for Missouri to correct past mistakes and make a strategic scheduling decision for the 2025 season. Time will tell what path the program will take, but it will be interesting to see how they navigate the situation and make the most of the opportunity.
