Per the SLU fan message board, Lions' head coach Ron Roberts announced that Samford has 'bought out' its return game in Hammond, La. next year. The game was originally part of a home-and-home deal between the two schools.

SLU plans to visit SE Missouri State next year and also has a game at Tulane, which has been moved to 'week 3' to open the Green Wave's new stadium. Looking for two games, prefer FCS opponents.
