The UND football program has landed a future FBS matchup a little closer to home.

North Dakota and Iowa State have agreed to play in 2024.

UND athletic director Brian Faison said the proximity of the game is beneficial in two big ways. One, fans have a better opportunity to drive to the game. Two, the school can expect to make more financially.

UND will play at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Aug. 31. The Fighting Hawks will receive a $550,000 guarantee for the game, according to a report by FBSchedules.com.

UND also has FBS games lined up with Utah (2017), Washington (2018) and Kansas State (2020).

The Fighting Hawks beat Wyoming 24-13 to win the program's first FBS matchup during the 2015 season. In 2016, UND fell short of upsetting FBS member Bowling Green 27-26.

Iowa State was 3-9 in 2016. North Dakota State played the Cyclones in 2014, with the Bison winning 34-14.

UND, which was 9-3 in 2016, will play Big Sky Conference football through the 2019 season. The Fighting Hawks will begin play in the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020.

Iowa State has a number of MVFC opponents on future schedules. The Cyclones will play Northern Iowa in 2017 and 2019, South Dakota State in 2018 and South Dakota in 2020.

UND hasn't played a member of the Big 12 since its first FBS matchup of the Division I era-a 38-13 loss at Texas Tech in 2009.
