While a number of conferences are planning spring football schedules ranging from February to April, four schools in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio are playing their own round-robin here in the month of October.

Adrian and Trine of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Bluffton and Manchester of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference are each scheduled to play the other three schools with one exception over the course of the next month, if the COVID-19 pandemic permits. Manchester and Bluffton are slated to meet on March 6 as part of the HCAC's full slate of scheduled spring games.

Given the fluidity of the situation, this schedule should be considered tentative. In fact, Trine has already had two other games canceled this fall, against Indiana Wesleyan and Judson.

As previously announced, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy will meet for the Secretaries' Cup in November.
