Kennesaw State & North Alabama will remain in the Big South this fall. This means A&T will have an 8-game football schedule.
We'll also have 5 home games with NCCU and Charleston Southern already scheduled for home games in Truist (Aggie) Stadium.
Thoughts?

Playing a 7 game schedule this fall is just silly when you have the teams available for 8 games. Gardner Webb is also kicking out $$$ to host the CIAA program. I'd assume they'll drop the game or move it to Fall 22 if logic prevails. |

Why 7 games? We only have three out of conference games, that would be a 10 game season. |

Game revenue. with 7 games, we're guaranteed 4 conference games and a 5 game home schedule. With 7 games, we could be losing revenue, which is something we will need. |

If Gardner Webb, a Big South member, has 4 OOC opponents, that means that they are playing 7 conference opponents. Back in December, I was told that we (A&T) would likely only play 7 Big South games because some of the other Big South members already had 2021 OOC game commitments in place before Robert Morris University being added to the conference. We will play 8 Big South games beginning in 2022 (barring any future conference shuffling). That is all I was attempting to convey. |

The Big South losing Kennesaw State and North Alabama in 2022 for football. |

I wonder if it's possible that we are still honoring our commitment to playing Charleston Southern as an OOC game since it was on the books before we joined the Big South?
Maybe we'll play 7 official conference games , and nccu, duke, Furman and csu

Is there any established (promised) timeline for releasing an official football schedule by the Big South's conference office??
