Was poking around JMU sports today and saw that the 2020-2021 OOC schedule had been posted. There was also a note thats aid due to the recent NCAA statement about the season starting in late Novemeber there would be some changes and adjustments.
Some good games scheduled as of this time Home games against UVa, Villanova,Mount St Marys, Lafayette, Hampton, GMU amd GWU. Away games against Liberty, ECU,WVU and Rutgers.
Nice looking schedule for the first season at the AUB. We shall have to see how much of it actually comes to fruition.
Go Dukes!!

I'm apparently in the minority on this, but nice looking schedules for home games this year make me sick.
We lose a ton of money and potential interest in the program by the way these games are playing out this year. Plus - most likely our return games will be with their fans at the games.
New Stadium - no fans
Marquee Games - no fans
Following year all those return games on their courts.
We're trading 10 neutral court marquee games for road games with their fans.
Addtionally - "some" of the newness of the AUB will wear off this year, even though fans very possibly won't see it in person for over a year.
The homecourt advantage that could of been for Marquee games......
So costly bad timing........
If this had happened the last year of the Convo - who would of cared?
Thanks for the update, Brian. Kind of a lackluster release of the OOC schedule. A little surprising considering there isn't much else to talk about. Come on JMU Athletics, you can do better than this (even if it is subject to change obviously). But, thanks to you, Brian, I can go check it out.
My thought is that since the schedule will have to change, as soon as they get it all ironed out we will see more pizazz. At least I hope so!!
