Did my research, and building off others posted schedule this is what BSC's schedule will be.

Sep 4-Lagrange 6:00pm
Sep 11-Huntington 6:00pm

Oct 2-Sewanee
Oct 9- @Hendrix 1:00pm
Oct 16- @Centre 12:00pm
Oct 23- Rhodes
Oct 30- @Berry 2:00pm
Nov 6- Trinity
Nov 13- @Millsaps 1:00pm

I am missing an out of conference game that I can't find.  Not sure if all times are eastern or central, probably a combination of both.  I had thought we had an OOC game in Virginia, but I have checked every DIII in Virginia and couldn't find anyone with us on the schedule.  I sure hope we have someone on schedule, would really not like a 9 game schedule and a 3 week break after week 2.

EDIT:  Maybe the game in Virginia fell through, and they are waiting for another OOC game to be firmed up before releasing the schedule.

Huntingdon published our schedule today and it has BSC@HC while the calendar on HC's school website still has @BSC. Not sure which is wrong.

According to a tweet this morning the BSC game is at HC.

Yeah, our schedule has finally dropped.  You guys are showing 6 home games, we only have 4 this season, that sucks. 

Here's our posted schedule now.

Sep 4-LaGrange 6:00
Sep 11-@Huntingdon 6:00
Sep 18-@Arkansas Baptist 1:00
Sep 25-Bye
Oct 2-Sewanee 6:00
Oct 9-@Hendrix 1:00
Oct 16-@Centre 12:00
Oct 23-Rhodes 4:30 (Homecoming)
Oct 30-@Berry 3:00
Nov 6-Trinity 12:00
Nov 13-@Millsaps 1:00

By year, it should have been Huntingdon coming to us, by games played, it is our turn to return to Montgomery.  Maybe next year we will have 6 home games.

I looked up Arkansas Baptist, they are a small HBCU that has difficulty maintaining accreditation.  The best I could tell, they compete in NJCAA, that's Junior College, for most sports.  Not sure where in Little Rock we are playing unless we will be playing at War Memorial, I couldn't find facilities even when looking at a map. 

A little disappointed this is our 10th game we needed and we are traveling there instead of them coming to us.  On top of only having 4 home games.......

Checking their schedules from the last couple seasons, their home games were listed as at Quigley Stadium which comes up at Little Rock Central High School. I don't like that game. Wish you could've come up with something better.

Edit: I did find tweets from the last couple of weeks that they are moving to NAIA and are 4 yr so I at least it's not junior college.

Enrollment a little over 500 students.   Ouch.

Yeah, not real sure about this pick up.  In the end, all that matters is we win.  Even their athletic website is incomplete.

I've been trying to find more on them.  They gave out both bachelors and associate degrees this last year.

But the only comparison I found (take with a BIG grain of salt) is this comparison on the Massey site.  Other sites didn't seem to have them. This is the predicted score.  Don't shoot the messenger.

I have tried to research them and coming up pretty empty.  As far as I know they could be giving 50 football scholarships a year.  They seem to play a lot of JuCos, so maybe they are a type of prep school when it comes to football.  In previous seasons they have put up some points and won games.  So I'm not sure what we are going into there.  Like I said before, doesn't matter who we think they are, we just need to win. 

[BSCpanthers]

Continuing my search I have found a few things.  Ark Baptist has been playing NJCAA(Junior college) sports up until now.  They are currently transitioning to NAIA and have joined the Sooner Athletic Conference.  They should have scholarshipped athletes.  It is still a small school, but they are on an attendance push, actually offering the first 500 students to register for this fall tuition with no debt, they never said free, just no debt, so not sure what that means.

Should be an interesting road trip for us, now just have to get through the next 8 weeks and get to the season.

65 days boys and girls!!!  Won't be long that athletes are reporting to campus for fall practice!!!!

New regional alignments as published today by D3football.com put SAA football schools in "Region 3" along with USAC, PAC, ODAC.

OH good. Just when I figured out north south east and west.  Playoff brackets will be interesting.

[BSCpanthers]

So will the board be reorganizing into 6 regions, or just leave it as is???

Ha I was thinking the same question today.  I assume they keep it as is
