H&A vs UConn
H&A vs Army
Liberty A
New Mexico St H
BYU A
Notre Dame A
Dixie State H

There are ongoing discussions between the ADs of Army, Connecticut, Liberty, Massachusetts, and New Mexico State in regards to the conference-only solution. If there is a conference-only schedule for the upcoming season, there would likely be home-and-home arrangements with the schools listed above.

Notre Dame would likely seek an arrangement with the ACC. BYU would likely seek an arrangement with the Mountain West, though there is apparently bad blood between the two.

I legitimately never heard of them. Thought I knew all the FCS schools. Did they recently make the jump?

^ Yes, 2020 will be their first season in FCS. Moving up from DII and JUCO before that.

My thoughts exactly but it turns out they have had a few alumni in the NFL and MLB. One name jumped out at me- Bruce Hurst!

Hurst and Clemens were a deadly 1 and 2 back in the 80s. Back when I was a little tike and before Roger became a hateable dink.

Listened to this a few days ago and I have to say, I'm feeling a bit more optimistic regarding the direction of the gridiron program.

California State Colleges have decided that all courses will be virtual which throws into question whether any of the 23 schools will play in the fall. Three are Mountain West schools.

Haven't you yet realized that they ARE ALL hateable dinks? It is merely a matter of whether they are your hateable dink or someone else's.
