And what we want to do is perform at the highest level regardless of what conference, what league, what division we’re in.”
…

The NCAA later denied the UAC’s waiver request to be recognized as a single-sport FCS conference this year, due to a moratorium on such activity, and it’s since been extended to Jan. 1, 2025. Undaunted, the UAC still moved forward with the new name and the plan to continue to pursue official NCAA status. Like the new Big South-OVC Football Association, the UAC will retain an automatic playoff bid for its conference champion even without the formal NCAA status.

“We think our structure makes a lot of sense, particularly in this time of change,” Luck said. “We all know what happens with realignment: It’s sort of the top level – Power-Five – and how that trickles down to a lot of the FCS schools. We believe that we’re on the right track; we’ll continue to work with our friends at the NCAA to get formal acknowledgement.”

Those uniforms look great! Throwbacks, I assume? I almost always love a classic look over anything designed in the past 20 years.

37 days until football!

The UNA staff (along with Mercer's) was in Montgomery today for the FCS Kickoff luncheon.

APSU has had a player pass away. Very sad.

New website!

From TexasFootball.com:

The Southland Conference held a virtual media day this week. Is that a sign of the future, or did the United Athletic Conference change the game for FCS conferences?

…

The United Athletic Conference might have set a new standard during its media day on July 14 at Texas Live! While the UAC media day wasn’t perfect, it provided a look into what could become the future for FCS conferences. The location allowed fans to attend, which was an excellent opportunity for schools to offer donors inside access.

But July 14 may have been the UAC's best decision. It was the Friday before the THSCA coaching school and avoided conflicts with FBS conferences. FCS conferences should consider moving their media day up a week or two earlier.
