2024 UAC football schedule announced

By Kevin Kelley -

The United Athletic Conference (UAC) has announced its 2024 football schedule. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 14.

Beginning with the 2024 season, the UAC will expand from nine to ten football-playing schools with the addition of the West Georgia Wolves from Division II. West Georgia will join Abilene Christian, Austin Peay, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, North Alabama, Southern Utah, Stephen F. Austin, Tarleton State, and Utah Tech.

The conference will also add the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) in 2025 when the school begins play in football.

After playing a six-game schedule due to prior non-conference game commitments, the UAC will move to an eight-game league schedule in 2024. New member West Georgia will play eight UAC games in their inaugural FCS season, and a ninth contest on the road at Abilene Christian will count as a non-conference contest.

In conjunction with the UAC announcement, one additional non-conference contest was revealed today. The Austin Peay Governors will host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs on Sept. 21.

The UAC is a combined partnership between the football-playing members of the ASUN Conference and Western Athletic Conference. The league is closing in on the completion of its first regular-season of competition as the UAC after operating as the ASUN-WAC Challenge in 2021 and 2022.

Utah Tech at Stephen F Austin seems to be missing as both teams only have 7 conference games listed. It would either be October 19 or 26 since both have open dates then. There’s also no way Stephen F Austin has four conference road games in a road which is how in the shows on it’s current schedule.

West Georgia’s impressive head coach resigned this week on Monday, which makes an already tough enough process from D2 to the FCS significantly tougher.

The UAC is building carefully so that it can survive the financial- geograqphicqal obstacle Course of scattered thin membership over 1000 + Miles.
Kentucky- Georgia- Tennessee- Texas- Alabama- Utah.
Did I forget a Uni. Programt which is so Opaque that I missed it ?
