NIU announced Friday that All-American and Heisman Trophy Finalist Jordan Lynch will be inducted into both the NIU Athletics and Mid-American Conference halls of fame in 2024, 10 years after the completion of his record-setting career.

Good: An actual bye week. Bad: A six-day week late in the season. Ugly: The team's track record with FCS teams of late. We break down NIU's recently released 2024 football schedule.

The NIU football team will be home on Saturdays this year. A lot.The Huskies will play five Saturday home games, including homecoming against rival Toledo, in the schedule released by the school and the Mid-American Conference on Tuesday.

Coach Rashon Burno praised Steven Tipton after NIU’s lopsided loss Saturday to Ohio. On Tuesday, the sophomore walk-on guard hit a pair of free throws down the stretch, backing up David Coit’s 27-point performance in a 75-72 upset win at Toledo.
Ohio handed NIU its third straight loss, 80-59. NIU remained in 11th place in the MAC, three games behind Kent State for the final spot in Cleveland with four to play.
