Actually they are really an independent this year in football in FCS but due to them playing some SLC games I am including them as SLC.
SHSU are WAC members now. They aren't playing any Southland opponents this season. The SLC forced the 4 Texas schools out a year early and, as of July 1 this year, they became members of the WAC. The WAC and ASUN formed an alliance this season that will allow them an automatic qualifier into the playoffs. The 7 playoff eligible teams are being called "the AQ7" by the 2 leagues.
- Central Arkansas (ASUN)
- Eastern Kentucky (ASUN)
- Jacksonville State (ASUN)
- Abilene Christian (WAC)
- Lamar University (WAC)
- Sam Houston (WAC)
- Stephen F. Austin (WAC)
- Dixie State (WAC) *not eligible for playoffs
- Tarleton (WAC) *not eligible for playoffs
The Southland Conference left themselves scrambling for a scheduling solution when they forced the Texas schools out early. For 2021, teams will play 8 conference games against the other 5 football members meaning they will have 3 home-and-home opponents and 2 others they'll only play once each. So the SLC schedule for Nicholls looks like this:
vs Houston Baptist
vs Southeastern Louisiana
@ Incarnate Word
@ Houston Baptist
vs Northwestern St
@ McNeese
vs Incarnate Word
@ Southeastern Louisiana

What exactly is the plan for these schools moving forward? I found the WAC and A-Sun moves bizarre.
Neither league has established football, so if you want to start something new, why not just start a new league?
Is the plan to use NMSU and Liberty’s status as FBS schools to leverage your way into the FBS?
I don’t understand Jacksonville State or Sam Houston joining conferences filled with basketball schools.
