The Western Michigan Broncos have scheduled home-and-home football series for 2021 and 2022 with the Pitt Panthers and the San Jose State Spartans, FBSchedules.com has learned.
Copies of both contracts were obtained from Western Michigan University via a state Freedom of Information Act request.
Western Michigan will travel to take on the Pitt Panthers at Heinz Field on Sept. 18, 2021. The Broncos will then host the Panthers the following season at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo on Sept. 17, 2022.
The 2021 contest will be the first-ever meeting between Western Michigan and Pitt on the gridiron.

I do believe I’ll be making a return visit to K-zoo to watch my Spartans play WMU. Glad to see some fresh teams on our OOC schedules,now I hope we have at least a FCS level team by then.
