2025 Non-Conference Games

In related news, Lincoln U still exists…

Yeah if you want to get the fans excited that you supposedly have an invincible kick a$$ team, then this is the "opponent" to schedule.

Western will host West Texas A&M week one, and head to Wichita Falls to face MSU week 2. Just an inverse of last year's nonconference.

I figured that was the likely scenario. Thanks for the clarification.

Almost every SR4 team has their non-conference schedule released/known by now, which is pretty impressive considering it's still only February and there are some conferences that still have yet to have any of their members release a single schedule

Just amazes me how Lincoln (CA) is able to score these games. There are enough D2 schools looking for games and even cupcake ones before going this route.

There's three teams that have scheduled Lincoln (CA) so far: West Alabama, Northeastern State, and Texas A&M-Kingsville. It's really hard to schedule an OOC game for weeks beyond September, so I don't blame UWA for scheduling them later in the season. Northeastern State has a similar issue, but they're also trying to rebuild, and Lincoln is one of the few teams they actually have a shot at beating. Kingsville scheduling them in Week 1 when almost every other D2 school would've been available is pretty inexcusable though

W0 Ferrum at Catawba
W0 Johnson C. Smith vs. Morehouse
W0 Lincoln (PA) at Grand Valley State
W0 Shepherd at Frostburg State
W1 Frostburg State at Millersville
W2 Charleston at West Alabama
W2 Southern Connecticut at Post
W3 Edward Waters at Bethune-Cookman
W3 Roosevelt at Wisconsin-Oshkosh
W3 Saginaw Valley State at Limestone
W3 Virginia-Lynchburg at Shorter
W4 North Greenville at West Alabama
W5 Lincoln (CA) at West Alabama
W8 Virginia-Lynchburg at Livingstone

Also, the Conference Carolinas commissioner explicitly confirmed that CC will be holding a conference championship game Week 11. Why they're doing this with only 7 teams is beyond me, but this does put them at only 4 non-conference games per team, instead of the 5 I initially had them at, so it's been updated to reflect that

Western Oregon's second non-conference game is 9/13 @ Cal Poly

FCS Morgan State's schedule release has them playing Miles Week 4 in the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis. The problem here though is that Miles already had 2 non-conference games lined up, so either they only plan on playing 7 conference games, or one of those 3 non-conference games is gonna get dropped. I'll keep an eye out for what ends up happening, but I'm putting my money on the latter choice.
