UCA started announcing changes to their schedule earlier in the week, including a home-and-home with Missouri State. Them, along with us, are two pissed off programs that the SLC cannot afford to lose. I think the SLC as we know it, is done...

Judging by the sounds of Carthels quote, Southland games might be out of conference games for us in the not so distant future...
Crosses fingers, buys lucky rabbit's foot. I'll cash in all my good karma for the effort of moving conferences.

Play four buy games, call it a redshirt season for 90% of the roster and go with it...Money made and no eligibility lost...
I had not thought of that! Brilliant!
BTW, if we can get ANY money games, I'm sure the paydays will be smaller -- perhaps much smaller -- than they would have been in past years due the financial squeezes on everyone, even the big guys.
Per a Lamar fan on Reddit, it was Lamar with 32 cases.
OK some rough math. At any given time there are 120 FBS teams, plus 127 FCS teams, all vying for broadcast spots any given Saturday.
Presently, there are roughly 76 teams whose conferences still intend to play.
Then there are say 8-10 teams such as Nebraska and SFA who "intend" to play a full slate.
So 86 teams out of 227. That's roughly 40%. And whereas you'd have 97 games on any given weekend on a regular week, you'd have 36 games on any given week this year. Assuming a similar number of people tune in, you're looking at 2.5 times as many eyeballs on any given game than a year prior. Obviously this won't be 100%, but people watch random college football games.
Supposing that SFA can schedule some P5 opponents, you're looking at a significant marketing opportunity for SFA if it's safe to play.
So who's available to play. Here's the tricky part. SEC is conference only. No warmup games.
Big 12 and ACC are mostly scheduled for their one non conference games. This could change if teams like HBU drop out of their matchups with tech.
So, available with schedule rooms is "Nebraska, Iowa, BYU, Army, Liberty, the Sunbelt, Conference USA, & the AAC.
Conference USA & CUSA have an odd number of teams, so someone won't have an opponent every single week.
Expect a decent number of Sunbelt games as well, as they'll need to fill early season cancelation and are more our level.
Carthel says he expects to be able to schedule a full 11 games, so I'm assuming they already have had conversations with many potential opponents.
If it's safe to play, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Looks like we have a decent idea of what's going to happen, assuming we can get in games at home.
Quote:
As for fall competition, we are still in the process of evaluating non-conference competition possibilities for football, soccer and volleyball. Once a fall adjusted schedule is set, a limited number of single game tickets will be on sale for each game allowing us to meet our capacity limitations. Single game ticket buying opportunities will be extended to current season ticket holders first before the general public as that schedule is set.
Yep ... Lamar.TallTexan said:

ESPN and others have reported that Nebraska has given in and decided no fall football.
Nice thinking Texan..
I feel like Texas said no...
The SMU posted schedule shows our game moved to September 26.

Baylor needs a game for September 12. We happen to have that date open now. Perhaps? Please!

Dang ya. They don't have their one OOC game scheduled yet.
It was Incarnate Word, but they aren't playing in the fall. Another money game would be huge!TallTexan said:SFAJack_76 said:

Our high school friends down in Houston got 3 buy games on the schedule. Wonder if they plan to continue playing.
That Baylor game would be huge though.

Potentially we could compete and/or win against Rice, UTSA, or ULM.
I mean we could hypothetically win any of those. But that's our best chances to win.
Tulsa Sept 5 (Toledo cancelled) and Sept 19 (Northwestern State cancelled)SFAXE93 said:

La Tech had a Sept 5 game against UNLV cancelled. Interestingly, La Tech schedule shows them playing at Baylor on Sept 26. Both Baylor and Kansas schedules show they are playing at Waco Sept. 26.
Carthel keeps saying we will have a game Sept. 5.
I believe schedules are still "fluid".
I think one of our players ruined the 8-18-2020 reveal of the new uniforms. Lol
If we play this season, I think some of it is going to be playoff style, where you might or might not have a game scheduled and then have to jump in to fill a slot for a quarantined opponent. Or have to find a game bc your opponent gets quarantined.
Author"Great question, we are finalizing our fall schedule and season tickets are the only way, as of now, to guarantee admission to non-conference games this fall and the conference games moved to the spring. We should know our fall/spring schedule soon.Thank you for your support!"
This is from a FB post advertising football season tix. Someone asked how they were selling them when no schedule exists and this was the response from SFA Athletics......So fall and Spring games??

Rumor from reporter from El Paso times
Funny that this guy would bring up the Poultry Bowl. SFA played in that in about 1776, didn't we?
Who knows. Carthel has been very clear and consistent that he doesn't want to play in the spring.Ljacks&Longnecks said:

Last I heard the Big 12 was just doing one OOC game.
ok I think he is just making schedules up.
