It's true.
Barton football to become an Associate Member of the South Atlantic Conference in 2022 and 2023
Barton will join the league along with fellow Conference Carolinas member Erskine College. The Bulldogs and the Flying Fleet will be eligible for the league championship and individual awards (Player of the Week and All-South Atlantic Conference) in the 2022 and 2023 campaigns.
In conjunction with the addition of Barton, Emory & Henry, and Erskine, the South Atlantic Conference will look to play a divisional football schedule based on geography with the plan for the two divisional winners to meet in a conference championship game during the final week of the regular season beginning in 2022.

Ah, yes. No one's ever done this with 12 teams. (Except the Midwest Conference, but we all know Division III isn't real.)
I don't think anything is out of the realm of possibility.

The CIAA has had that format for a long time.
Still, at least Erskine and Barton have landing spots for a couple of seasons as opposed to having to scrounge up a schedule as independents.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

Yes, there will be divisional play with championship game last week of the season. Wonder what the plan is for 2024 when Anderson starts football, add someone else, CC to have football? Remove one of the associates? Maybe they are expecting a school to leave the conference by 2024.Western New Mexico Mustangs

Hey Saints 21, saw there was a staff change, the recruiting coordinator is gone. What happened? How will the Saints be this year? Coach Turk should have all of his guys with 3 recruiting classes, plus didn't he handle the class as interim before Ierulli came there?

Well I don't think we know the whole story. The SAC press release specifically limited the membership to 2022 & 2023. We know Anderson is supposed to bring football online in 2024. Is there a new member out there to keep the numbers at 12? Will the associates remain and push the number to 14 (or more)? The Erskine coach was quoted as follows: "We appreciate the SAC including us and look forward to a hopefully long-lasting relationship". Will schools be leaving?
