Why in the world was North Alabama (a D II school) scheduled for the second game of 2019?

They are playing as a FCS independent in 2018 and will be a member of the Big South in 2019. Google is your friend.
From Wiki: The North Alabama Lions football team represents the University of North Alabama (UNA) in the Football Championship Subdivision competing as an Independent for the 2018 season, then as a member of the Big South Conference beginning in 2019.kemajic said:
This may not be a cupcake game:
The Lions are distinguished as the only team to win three consecutive football national championships in NCAA Division II. UNA's 27 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the Division II polls also comprise the longest stretch of consecutive No. 1 rankings in football in NCAA history on any level. UNA is the last Division II team to beat a Division I-A (FBS) team, defeating Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana–Lafayette) on October 11, 1997.[3] In 2016, UNA won their fourth consecutive Gulf South Conference championship — a conference record. Since 1990, the Lions have posted a 233–89–1 record giving them the best win percentage (.721) in the state of Alabama over that time frame.[4]

Too bad this isn’t a home and home. It’d be nice to go to Griz game and not have to spend a days drive to get there.
