I'll post what I posted over on the Zone:
If thats true, that would replace the 9/24 @ W&M, which would get shifted to another weekend, and one of the other 4 CAA home games would come off. Certainly wouldn't be UR, as I imagine all the VA schools will play each other. Probably not Nova. Hopefully they wouldn't make JMU miss URI 2 years in a row. So most likely candidate to come off would be Maine. I wouldn't be surprised to see the @ W&M game stuck there, as it would be odd to have 3 straight home CAA games anyway.

Re: JMU Adds UVA Transfer
I wonder if there is a chance the 1st game at the new stadium could be UD? If UD is @ JMU on 9/24, then that will either be the 1st or 2nd home game.
9/3 @ UNC
9/10 @ Liberty, home OOC, or bye
9/17 @ Liberty, home OOC, or bye
9/24 home UD
Having the home opener 9/24 would give more time to get everything ready anyway, and it would be much better to open against UD in the 1st game in the new crown jewel of I-AA than VMI or CCSU.

Re: JMU Adds UVA Transfer
Well, you know, the CAA does like to use the flagship football program in the CAA to dress things up - UD played in the innaguaral CAA football game in '07 against W&M. Plus, maybe they want to make sure your new stadium is filled up for the opening game there - wouldn't want empty seats for a CCSU game.BDKJMU wrote:I wonder if there is a chance the 1st game at the new stadium could be UD?

Eh, we'll see. Only in year two of having a football program - I certainly think ODU will be very good going forward, but it still needs to play out.CAA Flagship wrote:Flagship???? What???
