2022 Non-Conference opponents

[justafan12]

If it is not a week 1 or week 3 game BSC is looking for how about a matchup with Belhaven?  I know they usually play Milshaps week 1 and week 3 is the potential USAS vs. ODAC games I have read about so not much flexibility. Might be a good early test.  Only drawback it could be a potential round 1 match-up if both teams make the playoffs.

Our week 2 game from last season became a Round 1 playoff rematch, so that isn't a problem for us.  I think the ASC, since losing Belhaven, also needs another OOC game, conference wide.  Hopefully we can find someone and it not become a problem like last season.

BSC is in need of a week 1 opponent, and we can travel.  These schools need to get on the horn with each other.

Rose-Hulman has DePauw, Trine and Albion for non-conference foes.

And here we have an indication of how one NJAC team is filling their schedule.

Sounds like Birmingham Southern is getting their schedule finalized.  We have our 7 conference games, Huntingdon(instate rival/USA South), McMurry(ASC) and Point University(NAIA) out of Georgia. 

In years past, only playing 2 non conference games, both have been against USA South teams.  I'm excited to see us roll out an OOC game with the ASC.

Obviously the coaches and the AD at BSU know 10,000% more than me regarding scheduling but given the Hardin Simmons situation this year I don't see why a D3 would schedule an NAIA school every.  No disrespect to any NAIA school but it just appears from what I read that one of the reasons that HSU did not get an at-large was because they only played 9 D3 games (lame reason to me).

I don't think our NAIA game was a desired game.  Last year we played Arkansas Baptist(NAIA) as a late fill in the schedule after a game with a team in Virginia was canceled in late July.  No reason for us to play them again, they were awful, JuCo team just stepping up to NAIA level.  Point is a close school that gives us a 10th game that keeps the budget in tact.  We might have been able to pick up another D3 game, but might have required a flight to the upper Midwest that would have done a bad thing to our budget.  Only reason I can think of why this happened.

Yea, I did not mention budget concerns being a reason in my first post but I did think of that.  Money drives everything and I am sure the BSC folks looked at all options to make everything fit.

If that game is at Point then it will still be in Alabama. Their campus is in West Point, GA but the football team uses the stadium in Valley, AL, just across the state line.

Texas Lutheran will play Trinity twice (once in an exhibition) and North American University. Full schedule is up: https://tlubulldogs.com/sports/fball/2022-23/schedule

Salisbury plays Albright, WNE, Stevenson, and Ave Maria (Florida - NAIA) - Bold denotes home.

[The Mole]

Not a bad OOC schedule. The Anna Maria game, is that because they cannot get an opponent to play at home or you think recruiting FL?

[Pat Coleman]

It's probably hard to get four non-conference games when you're a quality program like Salisbury is.
