Chargers hosting Assumption [WK-9] & Bentley [WK-10} Good chance these will be make or break games for all 3 teams

I could of sworn that during last UNH's home game internet broadcast, one of the announcers was the AD from the University of Bridgeport. He stated that UNH was opening their home 2020 schedule vs. Bowie St on Sept. 5th. I have not been able to confirm this though

It would seem to make too much sense to have the SR1 conferences with 8 or 9 teams to set up some alliances to fill out their schedules. The PSAC and NE10 have matched up pretty well for the opening week. The GLIAC, GMAC and NE10 should pick a week, mid season to start scheduling something. Once UNH bolts for the FCS, (Dartmouth game looks the first move in that direction), it will be tough to even schedule 9 games without some outside help.

Nice pick up by New Haven to play Dartmouth. They are posting a lot of transfers on Twitter for the roster so they seem like they can compete with an FCS team.

New Haven should have 11 games. They have 8 league games, one OOC opening weekend, 1 NE-10 opponent as OOC and then 9/19 must be their bye week and they filled it with Dartmouth.

Assumption is doing the same thing as Grand Valley is their NE-10 bye week and they filled it with a game.

It is tougher in October and November to fill those bye weeks as the rest of those teams are in the middle of their own conference schedule.

They probably already have an opponent for 9/5. On the D2football.com Open Dates page, they only opening that's listed for them is the one they just filled with Dartmouth.

So does that mean New Haven is playing an 11 game schedule?

[ctrabs74]

I wouldn't expect too many NE-10 schedules posted until late in the spring. NE-10 schools have historically been notorious for being among the last D2 schools to post their schedules.

[Inkblot]

Possibly, but it could be a while before New Haven announces the final schedule and if they get a game for 9/5. They traditionally take their time announcing schedules and rosters, but this announcement may be a change in direction under the new AD.

Opening game for Dartmouth - New Haven will have 2 games under their belt ?

New Haven has announced that they will visit Dartmouth on 9/19. Dartmouth tied Yale for the Ivy League title last year and had a 9-1 record.

The NE9, er, NE10 provides for 8 conference games, so
Kutztown - Assumption appears on the Kutztown schedule 9/5 in Wooster
Grand Valley - Assumption made the announcement they'd be going to Allendale on 10/17
Play Bentley a second time

Good for them - The Grand Valley schedule is out and lists the Assumption game. Great to see Assumption make the effort to enhance their schedule. Go win a non-conf game [or 2] and make a better case for the playoffs.

[Horror Child]

How are they fitting in 3 non-conference games [Kutztown, GV St and 1 of the Bentley games]?
