The University of Hawaii is scheduled to open its home 2016 football season with Tennessee-Martin, the schools announced Friday.

The game is scheduled for Sept. 10, 2016 at Aloha Stadium and is sandwiched between road games at Michigan (Sept. 3) and Arizona (Sept. 17). UH will host Massachusetts in its only other nonconference game.

It will be the first meeting between UH and the UTM Skyhawks, a Football Championship Subdivision member of the Ohio Valley Conference.

UTM was 6-6 and tied for third in the OVC in 2014.

The addition of the Skyhawks gives the Rainbow Warriors 12 games for 2016. They originally had Kansas as one of their nonconference games, but the Jayhawks backed out of the game after Kansas coach Charlie Weis was replaced by David Beaty. Hawaii will earn $1 million for its game at Michigan and another $500,000 for its road trip to Arizona.

This upcoming season, Hawaii travels to Ohio State and Wisconsin to play nonconference football games worth $2.3 million in guarantees.
