Who will Valdosta State be playing in 2025?

For a conference that prides itself in having quality members, I find it odd how they won't play some of the bigger names of the GLIAC... especially when the money isn't an issue.

West Florida played at GV this season and Delta State played them in 2018 and 19. I don’t think GSC schools would turn down any scheduling offers right now unless the dates don’t work.

How is money not an issue?

You sure GV didn't turn down any games?

yup. The door may be closing some now. But I do know of a couple of GSC schools that wouldn't schedule.. even at the GSC school.

How is money not an issue?

Some schools offer dollars for a game or will play at the opponent's field so dollars aren't in the picture for not playing the contest. In fact, one could argue that they could be losing some dollars.

Hats off to UWF for playing GV.. Delta too! So why won't UWF host GV? They played them at Lubbers but wouldn't do a h&h. GV has (maybe they are about to be filled??) early season open dates for '25. I don't think a one of those will be filled by a GSC team.

Frankly I can see why a school doesn't want to play a tougher opponent. What I don't get is why those that rarely, if ever, make the POs won't schedule. I guess there must be some reason.

And GSC has solid teams that have good history.

Who does GV have as non-conference games for 2025?

So far.. Black Hills. I think that they are close to locking others down though. So all they have are the 7 GLIAC opponents and one OOC today. I hope we hear something official for additional games soon! FWIW, I suspect other GLIAC members might have some similar issues, though I have no idea about the money side of it.

Remember when Robert Guitar had the entire Gulf South Conference popping on this board? Now it’s dead. Sad. When it comes to future scheduling I would guess there is not money to cover the expenses that would be necessary to fund a full season schedule.

I agree with UNALions.Hell may freeze over, but when his right, he is less left, and spot on here.

The message board is a reflection of the conference, there just isn’t much positive to talk about, and that’s after one of the teams made it to the NC! Crazy to even think about! We have quality programs, just not enough of them.

The presidents of the remaining institutions are, in part to blame. Who is managing the GSC Commissioner? Everyone has left.

How is the commissioner supposed to stop schools from moving to FCS? It’s not like the football schools are jumping to other D-2 conferences.
