The ASC is set to bring McMurry and Schreiner back into the conference for 2026-27, per Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s Cory Hogue, who adds: “The move now leaves SCAC commissioner Dwayne Hanberry in a position of needing to find at least one more school that sponsors football to join the conference to begin the clock toward earning an automatic bid to the DIII playoffs. […] While details of the move are limited, sources indicated in previous weeks that the remaining ASC teams were willing to offer a lucrative sum of money for teams to join the conference. ASC Commissioner David Flores has spent his entire tenure with the ASC searching for schools to add to the conference. Flores faced headwinds from the beginning, with many DIII schools not interested in joining a conference with Mary Hardin-Baylor and Hardin-Simmons. However, Flores found a way to stabilize the ASC for the near future.” An official announcement is expected today. (link)
