When gbpuckfan posted on the Midwest football board today that Monmouth plays Wartburg and Hope next season in Non-Conference play and provided a link, well it got me thinking about how many other games are already announced out there. With over 230 teams already eliminated, I am guessing many of us have already turned our thoughts to the 2020 season. So creating a place to drop those nuggets of information seems like a good idea.

This is gbpuckfans link from earlier today.

I meant match-up realignment. Whereas Salisbury would play Delaware Valley, Wesley vs. Wilkes, and so forth...

There isn't a coordinated NJAC/MAC scheduling agreement.

Does the MAC and the NJAC play a set of conference challenge games each year?

That answers my question. I hadn't heard of an agreement between the conferences.

I just somewhat assumed with Wesley vs. Delaware Valley, Salisbury vs. Albright, Rowan vs. Widener, Frostburg* vs. Stevenson, FDU-Florham vs. TCNJ there was some type of "mutual agreement," maybe there isn't and it only made sense due to locale of each school to one another and each teams 5 to 10 year success and possibly having difficulty scheduling games.

Would be nice if that was the case, NJAC/MAC challenge has a good ring to it.

Working from the PrestoSports database of 2020 schedules -- these are just from the teams who have posted full schedules:

Albion plays Mount St. Joseph, Defiance and Aurora.

Dean plays Fitchburg State, Husson, Mass-Dartmouth and Kean.

Hiram plays Bethany.

Kalamazoo plays Oberlin, Central and Concordia (Wis.).

Mass-Dartmouth plays Husson and Dean.

Mount Union's home-and-home with Westminster (Pa.), which we first heard about in podcast episode 195, starts this year.

Yes and no.  Those agreements do make filling the schedule out for easier for those teams, but it also creates what amounts to a closed system between those two leagues and fewer intersecting data points for the data sets they rely on in the primary criteria used for selection and seeding.

Simpson College and UMHB will start a 2 year series next year with Simpson coming to Belton in 2020 and UMHB going to Simpson in 2021.

As far as I know Huntingdon has the final year of the 4 year set with Guilford, the usual week 2 against BSC, and the second half of the home-and-home with Oshkosh.

Is it safe to assume that most of the non-conference agreements between D-3 schools are 2 year home and home agreements? And if that is so, we should be able to assume opponents and locations by reviewing schedules from the past 2 seasons. No?

According to John Carroll's website, they have a one off against Ithaca next year before a home and home with Washington and Jefferson in 21-22
