Mississippi Valley State will not play a home game until Jan. 9, opening the 2026-27 season with 14 consecutive road contests. Coming off a 3-30 campaign, the Delta Devils under new coach Mike Davis will face Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Arkansas, Michigan, UConn, Ohio State, Texas Tech and Baylor. That slate includes reigning national champion Michigan and title game runner-up Connecticut. The program has never beaten a high major opponent, but the grueling schedule could bring in close to $1 million for the athletic department.
