It is the largest financial payout the Chanticleers have ever received. The 2017 Coastal schedule will include eight Sun Belt Conference games, with four non- conference opponents. Three of those non-conference opponents are UAB, Massachusetts and Arkansas. Director of Athletics, Matt Hogue, said this is the largest financial payout they have received by far. “In terms of who contacted who first, it is really hard to say sometimes,” said Hogue. “I believe I received an email from Arkansas initially, stating that they had a date available for us.” A lot of changes will be happening when fall of 2017 gets here.
