UNLV will play at Ohio State in 2017, and will receive $1.3 million for the trip, the highest payout ever for a Rebels football game.
The teams will meet on Sept. 23 of that year. The payout tops the $1 million UNLV will receive for going to Michigan next season.
UNLV also scheduled a home-and-home series with Arkansas State. The 2017 game will be in Las Vegas, and the teams will meet the following year in Jonesboro, Ark.
