College football

The South Atlantic Conference President’s Council has agreed to a football scheduling commitment with Barton College beginning in 2020 for a term of two years.

Barton is coached by former Catawba head coach Chip Hester.

Hester spent 18 years coaching at Catawba College, serving as the head coach of the Indians for 11 seasons.

The agreement will allow the SAC football playing schools a common in-region opponent, while helping Barton complete a full NCAA Division II schedule.

Barton replaces UNC Pembroke as a regional scheduling partner for the SAC. UNCP will be playing Mountain East Conference teams.

The Bulldogs will play eight of the nine SAC football schools in 2020 and  all nine in 2021.

Barton will not count as a conference opponent in the standings, nor will their student-athletes be eligible for South Atlantic Conference honors.
