Looks like Eastern Michigan wants a piece of the SEC in coming seasons.
The MAC school scheduled a handful of future games against both Kentucky and Missouri, ESPN’s Brett McMurphy tweeted Tuesday.
Eastern Michigan adds series w/Kentucky (2017 & ’20 at UK, ’19 at EMU); games at Rutgers (’17) Purdue (’18) Illinois (’19) Missouri (’20)

The Eagles, who lost at Missouri 61-21 earlier this season, will visit Columbia again in 2020. Kentucky had already scheduled Eastern Michigan for a 2017 game but has added a trip to Ypsilanti, Michigan, in 2019 and another game in Lexington in 2020.
The Eagles have a trend of scheduling SEC schools, having played at Florida in 2014 and at LSU the following season.
