The other three conferences in SR2 have divisional scheduling with 12/13 football members. The GSC has 8 teams and at an instant disadvantage when they can’t find 11 D2 (preferably in-region) games to schedule.

I do know that the GSC is doing what it can to add football. The rumors of future departures to D1 don’t help in that task. No school wants to move up or start a program only to find themselves in the same circumstances that the current football members face.

D2 needs to increase scholarships, then.

Being required to play N. Greenville twice who are 2-5 (in part because UWG wins twice) in the conference did nothing but hurt West Georgia. Everyone talks about the Mississippi loss, but until the commissioner and institutions fix this scheduling problem you will see unnecessary shortfalls again given the mathematical formulas. Also, an eleventh game regional win would have probably put West Georgia in the show.
I’m not convinced the right person is in the seat in Birmingham.
The University of New Orleans student body just voted down an athletic fee increase to fund football.

I’m not sure 11 games help. Will Hall played 11 games when he was coaching us. Six home games was nice. That extra game with the same GSC team can be a plus or a minus. In some ways I would have liked to played UWF again but would not like having two losses to the same team. Not sure we could have beaten Delta State twice like last year. It really hurt losing both UNA and Fla Tech.
Couple that with differences in SOS and it’s often time a recipe for missing the playoffs even after a good year. All because of the schedule.
Go GSC and Roar LIONS!!

So, any of your teams want to play a GLIAC school? Dates are available. GLIAC teams have been traveling and still can't fill 11 games. So most of the GLIAC played duplicate games the last 2 seasons.
An easy possible solution would be for the NCAA to put a greater emphasis on OOC and/or out of region wins and require some OOC D2 games to qualify for the playoffs. Some schools would find travel money then!
