Potential 2026 problem for Delaware or Liberty.

Due to SEC’s new conference game mandate, Alabama dropped West Virginia. WVU replaced Alabama with Coastal. Coastal now has five non-conference games and presumably needs to drop one.

2026 Non-Conference Schedule
Delaware
Liberty
Temple
Fordham
West Virginia

Liberty and Coastal are currently scheduled in ‘26, ‘27, ‘28, ‘29 and ‘30.
Delaware is scheduled in ‘29.

Tech allows Kansas to re-tool a one-for-one into a below-market-rate one off $ game.

RE: Future Conference USA Football Schedules
I’m tossing out some additional games from future Missouri State schedules (as listed on https://fbschedules.com/ncaa). Please note that the publishing of those dates for MSU (and other schools) precedes the late-August SEC announcement that they will begin playing nine conference games vs eight starting in 2026, a move that will possibly/probably result in the cancellation of up to 16 currently scheduled non-con games per year.

Will all potential cancelations impact CUSA? Logically not at all, but two of the games on the following MSU list has the Bears taking a couple 3-hour busride to the north to face our state’s only SEC member. I could easily see that school want out of the MSU game for a few reasons which could push their desire to get out of that contract.

Am I predicting that sort of “descheduling” will have an impact on CUSA schedules? Absolutely not, but if your school of choice already has a game on the books with a member of that conference, you may best hope that your AD has done a comparison of their own school versus the others under contract and is working on an alternate game for that date.

Lecture aside, Texas Terror MAY want to make a couple of slight changes to the stem message of this strand to capture the following:

Missouri State Future Non-Con Games Per Season
2027-Arkansas State (which on the surface could provide a logical non-con rivalry)

2028- at Arkansas State

2029- at Missouri

2030- at Tulsa (another logical partner for regional rivalry)
at Wisconsin
(Please note that the Auburn game shown on Texas Terror’s list does not show up on fbsschedules.com. However, I remember some discussion about this
game and must confess to not knowing what which is correct, but both are online.)

2032- at Tulsa

2033- at Missouri

Liberty and JMU have added four more future games to their previous six game commitment. Now agreed to ten games including this year’s matchup which sold out a couple months ago.

RE: Future Conference USA Football Schedules
The Coastal Carolina @ Delaware game in 2026 was switched from Thursday, September 3rd (week #1) to Saturday, September 19th (week #3). No word on who Delaware’s week #1 opponent will be; Merrimack was previously scheduled for week #3.

Week #2 we still show a game at SEC Vanderbilt and week #4 at ACC Virginia.

It’s being reported the ACC is going to a nine game schedule with a mandatory P4 game. That further reduces the available inventory of money games for the G6. If you have a ACC game scheduled it might get nuked.

If there was such a thing as P4. ACC and B12 are in no way comparable to the SEC and B1G.

You can label it however you want but P4 is literally what they said in their tweet.

I agree the SEC and Big Ten are a step above the ACC and Big XII, but they are all above us, the Sun Belt, the MWC, the American, the PAC, and the MAC. The four of them are the ones writing the big checks to play those of us in the G6.

There are 67 teams in the P4. If they all play nine conference games plus one game against each other, that leaves 134 body bag games. Most, but not all, play an FCS game. So getting even one game against them if only 75-80. Some G6 are relying on two of these games to pay the bills.

Self separation. Soon the P2 will go to 10 or 11 conference games and 1 against the other P2 and the M2 will be closed out.

Hopefully--they will start to play less FCS--as the pressure for the playoff strength of schedule increases.

Also if 3-5 G6 "move up" in the next round that will provide a tad more P4 teams wanting games.

Another thing that would help "offset" this problem and reduce costs is for more CLOSE G6 games in order to save on travel. Geography will become a bigger influence on decisions and "may" eventually force some G6 reorganization. Emphasis on MAY.

If the University of Missouri at Columbia chooses to put MO State on the chopping block, we should hold their feet to the fire and take their money anyway - even if we are able to reschedule another buy game.

So Mercyhurst is playing 3 fbs teams next season, UNM, NMSU and WKU. Isn’t that a little unusual for an fcs school?

WKU had to get a cupcake because they open next season with 3 straight road games. Absolutely brutal start to the season.

@ Nevada on 9/5
@ Georgia on 9/12
@ Indiana on 9/19
