Asking why they aren't able to play this weekend - picking up an extra game. Why wouldn't you want them to pick up another game? I HATE the fact they only play conference games - that's beside the fact. There are other D2 teams playing today ... curious why the MIAA teams couldn't / didn't play this weekend ...

I'm almost positive there is a rule that says they can't play this week. I thought the earliest they could play would be that first Thursday in September but, I could be wrong. Especially if Hornet Fan is saying there are some D2 HBCU's playing. Hornet fan, who are they?
As for the separate question about why they aren't playing non-cons. I'm with you. I wish we still played non-cons. Although when we did, they weren't as fun. We would usually just schedule some crap team like a UCO type team and play a couple periods and then let the backups play and finish them off. I guess that comes down to the scheduling though. If we were playing a non-con that would help in the future rankings of SOS... I'd be all for it.
However, I wouldn't be in favor of adding a extra game to the season it is already long enough. I'd say throw in two non-cons in place of the existing conference games.

Elizabeth City State plays Hampton and Morehouse plays Alabama A&M in the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Classic. ECSU has 11 games on their schedule plus the CIAA Championship game listed on the last day of the regular season so theoretically they could play 17 games this year (11 regular season, CIAA Championship, five NCAA Playoff games). Morehouse only has ten games scheduled with an open date on September 21 and Nov. 16.
It looks like Lincoln gets a 12th game as well. Their schedule shows them playing a full MIAA schedule and also taking on Kentucky State on Nov. 23 in St. Louis. I assume that if they were to somehow be in contention for a playoff berth they would need to make a decision as to whether or not they would play that game.
