As we approach the Men’s Hoops season, JMU still has one more OOC game they can schedule before hitting the Max of 27 total games. UVA has to be in the mix still.
The women’s team has already agreed to play at UVA this year and then host UVA next year to maximize revenue at the AUBC.

Will the men follow suit once UVA sets a few more dates in their OOC? The Cavaliers only have 4 OOC games right now and JMU can be plugged in anywhere since the game can be played any night of the week with only an hour drive and no overnight hotel needed during COVID.

Strangely, JMU is still playing at Florida which seems to be a change in thinking from the administration. The attempts at scheduling for Football were explained by Bourne to be only within reasonable driving distance due to COVID concerns. The furthest team contacted was Army which is over a 6 hour drive from the Burg.
Gainesville is much further. Is the guarantee pay day too much to turn down now that Alger pulled the plug on the Football season and the $500k UNC game? At most Florida will pay $100k for a hoops home game even in a full attendance non-COVID year.
