FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Schreiner is starting up football as well.

Lyon and Schreiner (tho I haven’t seen much evidence of the latter getting a program going) as well as McMurry, TLU, Austin.  Supposedly 4 teams next year and six by 2026.

I would not be surprised to see St. Thomas add football at some point given the trajectory their men’s sports programs are on.

I went looking for any kind of information on Schreiner’s web site regarding their nascent football program and found nothing other than the initial announcement detailing that they intended to start play in 2025.  I did find this site detailing a campus master plan for athletics of which a new football stadium would be built in phase 4.  It’s the same firm that worked with Trinity on their expansion of the Bell Center/Calgaard Gymnasium a few years back, but the scope of this work is much larger.

SCAC starts playing football next season, correct???  This will really open up some schedules for more out of conference games, hopefully teams don’t have a problem getting those schedules filled.

If they do what they did the last time they had four teams (all that committed to start in 2024 in the initial announcement) it will be a double-round robin so the participants will have four non-conference games each to fill.

... which in this part of the country is challenging.
