What's this?

Yeah it worked out for some teams, not for many others

1) It was a risk management decision. They played the odds, and it seems to be working out for more teams in the spring than the fall. Who is to say that JMU wouldn't have missed even more games in the fall?

2) The whole FCS is playing in the spring, so if JMU played in the fall, all they could play is filler games for any of the very few FBS teams needing opponents.

3) Fans in many stands in the spring, not in the fall.

4) I will bet any amount of money that a fewer % of football games are missed this spring due to covid than were in the fall.

This shows they should've played in the fall. We did, & got in 10 of our 11 -- UVAFan2626 04/03/2021 5:25PM

1-A teams made enormous investments in testing, etc., that 1-AA teams -- Williamsburg Wahoo 04/04/2021 11:06AM

Agree on testing costs and agree on calling them 1-A and 1-AA. ** -- HowieT3 04/04/2021 11:40AM

Yep! ** -- Birddog 04/04/2021 11:11AM

Also lots of teams can have fans now, too, so there is that... ** -- GtownHoo 04/04/2021 09:57AM

Lol, so many teams in the fall lost multiple games -- GtownHoo 04/04/2021 04:59AM

Yep. FSU is a prime example. ** -- halleHOOjah 04/04/2021 09:48AM

Not the best example. I still question their integrity -- HooAlum 04/06/2021 06:56AM

Fall was more careful nationally. Spring -- JamesHoo 04/04/2021 12:02AM

Yawn! It was the University's / ACC plan, not solely Bronco's. ** -- Birddog 04/03/2021 7:07PM

It’s not just the CAA. All of FCS is playing except the Ivy and MEAC. -- JMHoo 04/03/2021 6:19PM

Yes sir, I understand. Just saying that they meant well, but it looks like -- UVAFan2626 04/03/2021 6:41PM

Just because it worked out for us does not mean that it would have worked -- Birddog 04/03/2021 7:09PM

Hope they can make it through the playoffs. ** -- halleHOOjah 04/03/2021 12:26PM

Doesnt UR win the regular season championship because they are 3-0? ** -- Wahoo Ron 04/03/2021 4:24PM

That would be called “pulling a Hokie”. ** -- JMHoo 04/03/2021 7:28PM
