That would be perfect for all parties!

Dixie State already has SFA, Tarleton and Sam.

So for Sam to have Tarleton, Dixie, six AQ7 games, SE Missouri and Northern Arizona - would just need one game. Perhaps they can get a former Southland squad just to finish things off

Mannnnnn for Sam that’s a tough schedule. Especially if you include the other AQ7 schools. Nice to see it laced with FCS opponents. Should be an interesting fall. Especially if Shoemaker takes over at QB1.

• Fall 2021 Football Schedules in the ASUN-WAC Challenge
• Fall 2021 Automatic Bid - The ASUN has applied for AQ (automatic qualification) into the NCAA FCS Championship and meets all current criteria and all proposed amendment criteria (NCAA Proposal 2020-18=core schools, one-year continuity with three).
• ASUN-WAC Challenge 2021 - Seven squads (Abilene Christian, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Lamar, Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin) will play a single round-robin schedule with the top team earning an AQ. The conference standings will be presented as the ASUN-WAC Challenge.

With the additions today, Sam Houston State has an impressive 10-game slate (curious if they add an 11th) with the AQ7, Dixie State, Tarleton State, SE Missouri and Northern Arizona. Home games of note from the non-traditional list of opponents are SEMO, Jax State and EKU. As a fan of FCS football, that's an exciting lineup with some new matchups that we may not have seen before.

This is easily a multiple bid league in its lone year of existence, hopefully setting the stage for '22 WAC and '22 ASUN football

Right now, SHSU has five home games (including attractive games vs SEMO, JaxSt & EKU), four road games and a neutral site (which is essentially a home game). With that being the case, I'd be open to SHSU opening up on the road against say a former SLC foe (do them a favor) to get a return game in Huntsville a few years out

So the question is what does the WAC do in 2022 to get an AQ? I assume that Tarleton and Dixie won't count until they are eligible for post season play.
