JMU football scheduling news: Dukes have added home non-conference games against Morehead State for 2021 and Norfolk State for 2022 per JMU associate AD Kevin White. Story to come.

zzzz

Same here. Can’t say either of those games excite me and I hope we move away from scheduling them in the future. In 2019 Jacksonville State has Home non-conference games against

Chattanooga
Eastern Washington
North Alabama

And a away game at SELA. I would love to have that OOC schedule and maybe swap SELA with a FBS opponent.

Which leaves JSU with no I-A game this season and likely only 5 home games 2020..

2 things you never see with NDSU & attendance peer Montana- neither ever has 5 home games. Always at least 6. Can’t have the following 3, have to gove up 1:
-6 home games every season.
-I-A game every season.
-Quality home & home every season.

NDSU has been maintaining minimum 6 home games (7 last season) with getting the quality home & homes, but only 1 I-A game 5 seasons 2015-2019. With the prices JMU is charging it should be minimum 6 home games every season IMHOP. So that leaves either giving up the I-A game every season or the qulity home and home.

I agree w/ BDK. Really no getting around the parameters and limitations if the goal is a top seed rather than merely just making the playoffs. Gotta have the FBS game. Need to have the other two games at home during 11 game seasons. 1st game is the tuneup. 2nd game is against whomever is willing to not have a return home game. Those teams generally are weaker.

It is what it is. I'm resigned to the process. Really the only time it bugs me is when we have a home conference slate like last year. Most years, there are enough compelling games.
