can't wait to see UW-O's non-conference games.....hahah

looks like UW-O and UMHB both have an open date in week 2......

that would be the kind of nonconference game UMHB likes, and next season the AQ returns so less concern about committee and more about winning the ASC

IMO that would be a wn win win. Win for UMHB and UWO bc playing a highly ranked team, help SOS and gauge where your team is at the beginning of the yea. A loss by either team wouldn't hurt either one bc their conferences will have automatic qualifiers. This would be big for D3 to have another game (like this years St Thomas/St Johns) to show the rest of the country that D3 football is relevant and exciting. I get tired f hearing people say that it's glorified HS football. I live in northeast Ohio where HS football is king and it doesn't compare with a good D3 game in my mind.

I guess Twitter is about as good as Wikipedia when it comes to confirmation but a coach from Albright College tweeted last night that they would be hosting UMHB next year and would be coming to Texas in 2019.

So far I'm aware Hobart will play SUNY-Morrisville, Brockport, Endicott and Shenandoah for OOC games. A 5th one is pending for Week 5, but hasn't been confirmed as of yet.

They haven't posted it yet. I just asked what the third non-conf was.

Thanks. I know sometimes unposted schedules still get circulated to fans, whether they're sent to alumni organizations or posted on social media, so I figured I'd check.

W&J will open 2018 AT St. John Fisher.
The Presidents will play home & home with Wittenberg (2019-2020) and John Carroll (2021-2022).

Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

Thomas More has released its schedule for 2018.  Its a really tough one in terms of having 7 road games, distance to be traveled and who they have scheduled.

There are four games which really stand out:  At home vs. UW Plattville and Muhlenberg , road games Saint Johns and Huntington.

You'll also notice they have their first D2 opponent since the Dean Paul era.. when they host Lake Erie College.

Makes it even more impressive that Wesley was not only able to survive, but thrive, as an independent for so long.  But I bet they are as happy as a pig in slop to finally be in a conference!

I think Wesley did it for as long as was something close to survivable.  Even then, that last year as an independent the schedule's back half was all non D-3 games:
@ Concordia-Selma
@ Menlo
@ Virginia-Lynchburg
vs. College of Faith
@  Charlotte

That's kind of the point at which you can't keep doing it and really be part of D-III football, iyam.  Fast forward three years and it's even more difficult to get in-division games beyond Week 3.  Thomas More has done really, really well to get nine in-division games this year on somewhat short notice, but that's clearly not sustainable.  They'll have to find a league somewhere soon.
