EDIT (6/4/24): I was without a computer for a few weeks, but now that I'm catching up with this post, I'm adding non-PSAC opponents to this list, but not intra-PSAC contests in order to avoid confusion.

Please, anyone but Assumption! I want to see some other team!

[IUPNation]

IUP is at Ashland.

IUP is at Ashland.

I'm adding the schedules when they're officially posted, but yes, I'm well aware of IUP at Ashland.

I'm hoping Shepherd schedules a more exciting game too. Bowie State or even Virginia State would be nice to get back to the recruiting roots in Richmond.

I believe ESU is making another return trip to Pace, but don't quote me on that.

Virginia State probably no go as they play Norfolk State every Labor Day weekend as it is their Labor Day Classic, Little State (Norfolk) vs Big State (VSU). Now Bowie and Virginia Union might be viable as they seem to have more flexibility in week one. Last 2 years Union opened with Morehouse and Virginia University of Lynchburg and Bowie with Del State and University of New Haven.

Either of those would be close proximity for a day trip or so, and good competition as well for SOS purposes for both programs and the region. Hope something like that materializes.

Bloom should have a home match up vs Fairmount State.

That's the info I have as well...

According to this, Slippery Rock hosts New Haven next season and goes to New Haven in 2025:

That's a much better opponent for Slippery Rock to start the season off with compared to Wayne State-Michigan.

The instability of many D2 programs makes OOC scheduling difficult. We're not too far off from Wayne State being a national contender.

Wingate in North Carolina needs a Week 1 game.

Yeah, nobody wants to play D3 schools, but both Geneva and Washington & Jefferson are looking for Week 1 games in 2025 and 2026. Laugh all the way to the bank with the better attendance than hosting an NE10 school.

As you and I have discussed, we're (this small little community) the only D2 nerds who know the difference.

Average fan at Miller or Sox could care less who they play.

That said, teams with actual playoff aspirations should never schedule down (or, up) in my opinion. Nothing to gain either way.
