The Northern Illinois University football team will seek an air charter service for travel to four of its six games this fall.
NIU’s Board of Trustees approved the request to use an air travel service to take the Huskies football team to games at Ohio State, Boston College, University of Toledo and University of Buffalo. The vendor has not been determined, but costs will not exceed $360,000.
The Huskies will fly out of Rockford. The game at Ohio State will be televised by ABC and will land the Huskies with $900,000 in guaranteed money.
