No…and it very well may not be…

My understanding and this is from an outsider looking in, not an insider, is that a number of teams are making last minute changes and this has a ripple effect that means that each new game that must be scheduled depends on various other games and teams. It is a bit of a mess. Then throw in all of the contractual stuff and it gets even more messy.

Ever plan a party when there were four parties involved that had to juggle pre-exsisting commitments? Well, multiply that by A LOT and add in fans, alumni, stadium availability, flights, tests, holidays and hundreds of thousands of dollars and you get football schedule planning. LOL.
I'm glad this came out in the open so that some fans can't blame FAU for dragging their feet on publishing the schedule (as I'm sure some people would have been quick to jump the gun, again, and blame FAU for not publishing the schedule instead of finding out the real reason.)
But I love y'all!

You can count me in that group, I was about to get testy since every other belt team has announced there full schedule. At least now we know the reason.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

Thank you for being honest, Owlfamily.
I get a lot of flack for "defending FAU too much." But a lot of the times, there is a method to my madness.
On a side note, as of 10 a.mm CT today, I still couldn't find UNT's, ULM's, WKU's or MTSU's football schedule. Where did you find them, Owlfamily? Because if we did find them… we can create our schedule based on their schedules.

Might be possible to do it without them?

Well, I should say, we suspect seven of our 12 games. Nothing is final until FAU says so.

This seems to put Thursday night on ESPN out of the picture for FAU, though some pretty good match-ups are included:

That's probably because we are usually always on ESPN2. The only time we've ever been on the main ESPN was this past years bowl game. If you can find a schedule for ESPN2 I bet we're on there
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!
