Though they will be heading to different conferences starting in the 2023 season, the FIU Panthers and rival Florida Atlantic Owls will not be separated for very long.
FIU announced Monday a four-game, non-conference series has been scheduled between the team in what is known as the annual Shula Bowl game. Florida Atlantic will host the 2024 and 2026 games while FIU will be the host team in 2025 and 2027.
