Today North Texas fans discovered who the likely 2016 conference opponents will be.  Conference USA Officials plan to flip opponent sites for conference game opponents from the 2015 schedule.  Normally schools would cycle through opposing division opponents however with the temporary suspension of football at UAB has thrown a monkey wrench in the conference scheduling machine (uneven numbers between the two divisions).  Starting in 2017 a more balanced schedule between Eastern and Western schools should come from the conference office.  I'm sure many North Texas fans would like to no longer see all three Texas schools be at home or away in the same season. The final schedule might be announced some time around National Signing Day, which is Wednesday, February
