There's nothing new to that story. It's been the same since we won the first national championship 2004. Kevin's been scheduling for us for a long time. I think putting together a solid schedule for basketball is much more challenging than football. The one time our success hurt us in football is when we were having talks with a MAC team to come to JMU, but then we beat Va Tech......

Lehigh was a decent OOC game, as Chattanooga will be. Just stop with the doubling ups with the St Francis, and Morgan States in the same year. Who want's that in back to back weekends?

If you want to do a home and away with a lessor school, why not a 2 fer 1 with Howard? That would be great for us NOVA fans. I guess on the flip side I was not too crazy about going to Norfolk State.

I'd do a 1 fer 2 with ODU, but no way would I do a road game only unless they paid us a ton. .... We'd have more to lose, than gain. Everyone in VA feels we have the better program.

Half your seasons you have to do that if in order to have the I-A game and 6 home games. Its either that, don’t have a I-A game, or don’t have 6 home games. And not having 6 home games is unacceptable with the $$ JMU is charging and considering NDSU amd Montana always have at least 6, and sometimes 7.
