2024 PSAC Non-Conference Schedule

[CALUPA69]

I would love PSAC schools to get out into the country more, however like previously stated there are SO many busable games in this neck of the woods. Most schools here don't have much money to spare on that type of travel. I wish it was different though. I do know that Cal did go to St Cloud state and West Chester went ot North Dakota and Northwest Missouri in the early 2000s.

Actually CAL had traveled a lot starting in '10-@Saggy Val, '11-@StCSU, '13-@Hillsdale, '15-@VaSU, '18-@ODU, '19-@St A. Post pandemic WV is it. My guess budget cuts.

I feel for Central Washington and Western Oregon. They are the only remaining two D2 schools in the Western Pacific US.

They are most likely going to have to schedule FCS and NAIA schools for non-conference.

It sucks. Just imagine if schools had a set of balls and did right; Humboldt, Westerm Washington, Simon Fraiser, Azusza. There are 4 right there that would at least have given them a round robin with 6 in a conference. And then I think it would have been easier to convince Easteron and Southern Oregon to make the jump to D-2. That is a healthy 8 team conference. Then when BIllings did their research on starting a football program you would have more easily gotten them in.

It is an odd thing out west. D3 only has 2 conferences. One in the northwest and the other in the LA area.

Central Washington may still be looking for games but that travel would be tough.

It looks as though the only PSAC teams who have yet to confirm their OOC games are East Stroudsburg and West Chester. However...

Bentley hosted West Chester last season in the seventh all-time meeting (2016 through 2023, excluding the cancelled 2020 season), so if this home-and-home pattern continues, then West Chester will probably host Bentley to start the 2024 season.

East Stroudsburg hosted Pace in 2021 and 2023, while traveling to Pace in 2022. Presuming this is also a home-and-home series, I'm predicting that ESU will open the 2024 season in Westchester County against Pace.

ESU will play PACE

Unfortunately, Cal already has a non-conference game this season with a 10-2 Charleston fresh off an MEC title and a playoff appearance. Charleston is going to be a more formidable opponent for Cal than ODU in 2024 as ODU appears to have slipped, stumbling to a 4-7 record last season after after back-to-back seven win seasons.

This is all true and good points.

We're in the opposite situation here. There are a bunch of D2 schools in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic and we basically cut each other's throats fighting for recruits, which is one reason we have trouble in the national playoffs.

Don't kid yourself. They all read this crap. This site is the only publicity or 'media' many D2 teams get.

This is 'must read' status for D2 players, coaches and athletic staff.

Yeah I don't see that happening unfortunately even though it would be an experience for everyone. You just don't get those big travel trips in this conference, especially when you have so many options within a bus trip. The reason I think this is because CWU isn't one of those huge revenue schools like a NWMSU or GVSU that has spare cash to subsidize the visiting team's travel and then some.

I said earlier in this thread that I would love to see Cal schedule them. They had a few good games years ago.

WCU has their schedule on their twitter page...S-7 vs Bentley

Ohio Dominican is still open week 1 since NDC folded. Who in PSAC needs an OOC game?
