I agree

Lot of money. Wonder why?

Probably just to buy another home game. It’s not part of a H&H so would make sense that we would pay for it.

2023 is shaping up to be an interesting year from my perspective. This is partially because there are four MAC teams that year. Add in two rivalries in ODU and CCU. I hope there are a few P5 games to wrap up the scheduling. My dream would be to see 2 home P5 games and one road P5 game.

BTW anyone else expecting to see some UConn games on the schedule very soon?

I expect we will see a pretty large series announcement

We are now P5 status by buying G5 opponents!

But seriously, I don't think $800,000 is that expensive relative what the P5 is throwing around to others. That sounds relatively cheap. I don't know why ODU "settled" for that. Nevertheless, I'm excited to keep our series going and I think it is important to drive attendance and local interest.

As for UConn, I think it is safe to assume they will be an annual late season opponent for us. I imagine that they want to finalize a 2020 schedule and announce it all at once instead of announcing one or two games at a time, especially since their agreements are probably pretty tentative and fluid at this time. I would hope they have a vast majority of their schedule finished and may have up to 4 FCS schools.

I don't know if we knew this or not but we have some home games scheduled against UConn coming up. It looks like they only come here while I expected a home/home.

EDIT: I'm a big dumby (the misspelling is intentional to reinforce my stupidity) for misreading the article. It was actually UMass, not UConn. UConn did announce some games including a home/home with Maryland. This is likely where I made the mix up.

Why no AAC teams?
Why no Big XII or Pac 12 teams?

Liberty announces single game at South Carolina in 2023 ($1.5)

https://www.aseaofred.com/liberty-to-fac...a-in-2023/

South Carolina is a good get, especially with a nice payday.

Ready for some nice home games to be added.

South Carolina is a winnable P5 game nearby. Can't ask for much more than that. Just wish they were traveling here.

How did we end up with a single game with WKU in 2025?

It's the second half of a home/home with the away game in 2020.

Hmm, missed that.

Just announced:

@ UConn 31 OCT 2020

@ UVa has been moved to 2023 from 2020.

Not bad. I was slightly concerned about having 4 road P5's in 2020. This makes the schedule more manageable.

Win/Win

We move a tough P5 game to a year with only one and add a winnable game to the schedule for 2020. It helps them get a late home game.
