I believe wildcat11 was one of those.

Rutgers-Camden

Rutgers-Camden walked a tightrope last season.  An astounding 16 of their 21 games were 1-0 wins, 0-1 losses, or 0-0/1-1 ties. Of the remaining 5 games, only 3 were decided by more than one goal and only 1 decided by more than two goals.  Could just have been quirk, but maybe they are a team that plays compactly and conservatively, mucks things up and hopes to nick a goal in a scramble in the box and avoid a similar fate on the other end.  That is the kind of strategy that helps a team stay in a game against a top team and allows a weaker team to hang with them when they shouldn't.  Either way, changing opponents under that scenario doesn't necessarily change results, so why bother?  This year's schedule kind of reflects that attitude.  They drop Neumann and Rosemont and add St. John's Fisher, Salisbury and Muhlenberg.

Misericordia

Drops Penn State-Brandywine and adds NYU and Ursinus

Ursinus

It looks like they're taking off the training wheels this year as they've dropped some of the weakest teams from their 2024 schedule - Medgar Evers (who they beat 8-0), Penn State Berks (who they beat 7-0), and Penn State Brandywine (who they beat 5-3).  They also dropped Immaculata and Moravian.  In their place, they've added St. Mary's of Maryland and Salisbury away on opening weekend, Lycoming, Gwynedd Mercy, Stockton, and Misericordia.

The framework for Calvin's 2025-26 schedule has been posted, but many of the opponents at specific tournaments are showing as TBD.

Converting QBs to other positions is quite common.

Thanks RB...post on Whittier

Notice the list of players, just one O-linemen, and 5 Qb's. Coach White can be the greatest coach but no big boys, no run game...they will struggle. The best running team will win the SCIAC again. I wonder if coach White is going to do a Mike Maynard and convert the QB's to other positions, since most QB's today are great athletes. UR has a former QB that will be a really good safety this season. I expect good things from him.

Good luck coach White.

They operate independently, outside the University System of Maryland

I think Morgan State is also independent.  Can't imagine that they would be better off financially being outside the USM, but lower susceptibility to loss of federal grant funding (because they have less federal grant funding to lose) might be one area where they may benefit from being stand-alone.

Unfortunate news today as Cory Hogue announced that Dave Campbell's Texas Football cut him (and one other writer, Ishmael Johnson), effective immediately.  He was one of the few (possibly only) Texas-based sources for D3 and other non-FBS sports info in the state.

Curry College

Drops MIT, Colby-Sawyer, Lasell, Fitchburg State, Worcester State, and Plymouth state and adds Dean, Regis, Maine-Fort Kent, and Framingham State

Dickinson

I posted about this when it came out on Instagram, but here's the official schedule.

I expected to see them take on a little more challenging schedule than last year and they do add Christopher Newport (away) early in the season as a serious test, but mostly this is pretty similar to last season.  Outside of CNU and Messiah, most of their strongest tests come in conference.

If you're thinking you still need a place for your wrestler to compete, seems counterproductive to take a dig at the athletics and academics of your historic conference home on the way out. Why on earth would the ARC give Luther affiliate wrestling status. IMO, the dumbest thing the MIAC did was let MAC leave for football and keep their other sports. This one seems even more obvious from an outsiders perspective. If I'm ARC presidents/AD's "Don't let the door hit ya on the way out"
