SPARTANBURG, S.C. – As a result of the NCAA granting The Citadel’s waiver request to play 12 regular-season games this academic year, the Southern Conference has added an April 10 contest between the Bulldogs and Furman in Charleston, South Carolina, to its previously announced spring football schedule, necessitating five other games to move to accommodate the addition.
 
ETSU, VMI and Wofford also saw changes to their spring slates, while the schedules for Mercer, Samford, Chattanooga and Western Carolina were unchanged.
 
The Citadel played four fall contests and would have been unable to complete a full eight-game SoCon schedule in the spring without an NCAA waiver. Before that wavier was granted, Furman had been selected in a blind draw as the opponent the Bulldogs would not face this season.
 
The reconfigured schedule also sees The Citadel host ETSU on March 20 and visit Wofford on April 3 and Furman visit VMI on Feb. 27. VMI at Wofford moved to March 27 and ETSU at VMI moved to April 3.
 
The SoCon’s spring slate opens with four games on Feb. 20 and the regular season runs through April 17. The first round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship begins April 24.
