Sad news out of Adrian - Siena Heights wil be closing at the end of the 25-26 academic year after 105 years. I would assume Adrian College will see some impact from this closure

Calvin:
9 known games (Kuyper doesn't count being non D3) and a TBD in the Wisc Dells Tourney. 
Those 9 opponents last year had a 0.550 W/L, NPI average of 129, and 1 of them (Denison) was an NCAA tourney team last year

Hope:
All 11 oppponents are known. 
Last year they had a 0.596 W/L, NPI average of 111, and 3 of them (Franklin, UW Platteville, and WashU) were NCAA tourney teams last year.

Trine:
9 known games - 2 TBD (Daytona tourney)
Those 9 opponents last year had a 0.502 W/L, NPI average of 165, and 1 of them (Mary Washington) was an NCAA tourney team.

Albion schedule - albeit with 6 TBDs for 3 non-con tournaments (Westminster schedule does show Albion playing Westminster and Thiel @ Westminster on Nov 14 & 15) so really only 4 TBDs :

https://gobrits.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

What is known for non-con is home games vs Manchester and Ohio Northern, and road games at Westminster, Mount St Joseph, Ill Tech, and Aurora, and a neutral site game vs Thiel

The Albion MBB account had a social media post a few days ago that listed Westminster (PA) and Allegheny for the Otterbein Classic. Sets up a somewhat similar situation Calvin faced last season by playing at UW-Oshkosh and also meeting up at a neutral event.

The Albion Tournament will consist of Albion, Illinois Wesleyan, Kenyon and Wisconsin Lutheran.

I'd expect the potential of some students and student athletes tranferring to Adrian, Albion, or other MIAA schools.  Albion is actively pursuing them:
