Millsaps announced Issac Carter, former DC at Mt. San Antonio (CA) College, as their next head coach;

Among Coach Carter's previous stops was a stint at Colorado College, where he was DC for a season prior to the program being killed off.

Non-conference games are starting to show up:  https://www.d3football.com/conf/SAA/2020/schedule

  • Austin, Berry, B-SC, Millsaps:  TBD
  • Centre opens at home with Hanover, travels to Maryville (TN).
  • Rhodes is at Augustana and has Franklin at home.
  • Sewanee has Southwestern (away) and W&L (home).
  • Trinity will once again start with McMurry (away), but has replaced Hardin-Simmons in 2020 with George Fox (home) - and both are 7pm starts instead of afternoon games.   Hallelujah!
Speaking of Trinity, according to an Insta post by their T&F team, the home stands are being replaced before next season.  Hopefully the new press box will be larger than the old one.

Berry loses DC Nate Masters to D2 West Georgia.  He's the first coordinator to move on from Berry.  He will be missed.

From Instagram, here is a mock-up of the home stand rebuild that was recently begun at Trinity.   It's not palatial but will present the school in a better light.

No I have no insight into whether or not this does anything about the visitor dressing room situation.

Man, you have to respect the Lobos of Sul Ross. If they want to play a full 10 game season with nothing but D3 opponents, Austin College is one of the closest games they can get and it is 8 hours each way!

Trinity shutting down on-campus activities for the rest of the semester effective March 23, including athletics (so no spring practice, weight work, etc).   https://new.trinity.edu/emergency

Assuming we have football come fall  :( Berry playing at LaGrange on September 12th.   Their home non-conference game is still unknown (per https://www.d3football.com/teams/Berry/2020/index).   Millsaps' second non-conf game also still unknown.

Need to get a new photo of Trinity's stadium to Pat once the construction is complete - between the new home stands going in and the turf/scoreboard put in a year or two ago, it will look a bit different than the photo currently shown.

Yes, I am bored. 

Pat Coleman

Probably can assume Berry is playing Maryville -- we don't have a complete schedule for both and Berry hasn't changed up this schedule in a while.

Coach Urban today announced Trinity's incoming football class of 32 student-athletes:  7 DB, 7 OL, 5 WR, 5 DL, 4 LB 2 RB, K/P, QB.  They aim for about 30 in each class so this is in-line with normal number.

Trinity announced two additions to their coaching staff:
- 11-year NFL veteran Marcus Coleman will now be full-time defensive backs coach; he was a part-time member of the staff in a similar role last season.  Coleman replaces Adam McGuire, now an assistant at Texas Christian University.
- Burt Stuart will serve as strength and conditioning coach, returning to the school he coached at from 2003-2008 before stops in Alabama, San Antonio, and Laredo.  Stuart replaces Mike Clark.

Ron Boerger

Rhodes announced no on-campus activities this Fall including athletics.  More similar announcements to come soon, no doubt.

Ron Boerger

It doesn't directly impact football yet, but the SCAC called off Fall sports today and it would seem highly unlikely to me that either Austin or Trinity would support football while no other sports were underway.
