This is an unrelated question but:will Lindenwood play a 10 game schedule in 2022? Or will they add a lower-division team to make it 11 games?

Don’t know, but they played 10 last season also. They are still transitioning, so are ineligible for the postseason.

Kennesaw State is only playing nine (also ineligible as they move up to C-USA next year). Saint Francis U. and Stonehill are only playing 10 also.
