MyBB 2018-19 early-season tournament?
Has anyone heard anything about what exempt event ODU might play next season? It looks like next year's tournament lineup is taking shape and thus far no Monarchs.

Of the CUSA teams, Middle Tennessee is the rep for Atlantis, UAB is in the AdvoCare Invitational and Charlotte will take part in the Diamond Head Classic.

Is it our time to head back to the Virgin Islands?

We are eligible for it starting next year but I think there are still doubts over if the tournament will be held (or at least in the Virgin Islands) due to the hurricane clean up.

That could definitely be why we haven't heard anything.

This is correct. ODU was scheduled to go, but the on-site property took a considerable amount of damage from the hurricane. Location of next year's exempt tournament is still pending.

I think we are supposed to be in it (as is UConn), but I think it remains to be seen what’s going to happen because the hotel that usually hosts the teams had experienced significant hurricane damage and won’t reopen for another year or so.

This is correct. ODU was scheduled to go, but the on-site property took a considerable amount of damage from the hurricane. Location of next year's exempt tournament is still pending.

Here's what Blogging the Brackets has for next season's field:
U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam
Nov. 16-19: St. Thomas, V.I.

Eastern Kentucky Colonels (OVC) (EKU)
Missouri Tigers (SEC) (Tod Palmer, Kansas City Star)
UNI Panthers (MVC) (UNI head coach Ben Jacobson, on the Jimmy B & TC Show on KBGG)
5 TBA

That doesn't mean that the tournament is definitely going to be in the V.I.; that's probably a boilerplate and the location is probably subject to current (or, God forbid, future) hurricane damage.

Also, it appears UConn is not going to be in this tournament because they'll be in the 2K Classic with Iowa, Oregon and Syracuse.
