Scheduling VA School Opponents

I'll be the first to admit that I don't like having 3 games (especially in row) with opponents the caliber of W&M, ODU and ECU. Mostly because outside of being the first game of the year and serving as a preseason/tune-up game we play with little to gain by winning and everything to lose if well...we lose.

That said I don't thing teams will stop scheduling these schools without the NCAA or atleast conferences creating OOC game scheduling rules and I also understand that the payday helps these school's football programs survive.

So one of the things that I thought would be good, would be if we have to schedule 2-3 FCS/FBS typeschools a year I wouldn't mind seeing some rotation system for the VA schools. W&M, JMU, Richmond, ODU and Liberty.

Save for Liberty I'd be great to support the local programs with the paydays and show them whose boss (Especially JMU and Liberty) in the state on regular basis. Obviously Id prefer to play a higher FBS opponent if possible, but since it's unlikely that we can do that year in and year out I'd be fun. Plus on ocassion like playing at ODU, alumni from different regions can go and it'll still be essentially a home game with how many fans we have everywhere in the state and the team doesn't relatively have to travel. Also recruits could come watch us play more often in the state, especially in the Richmond & 757 regions and could be good for the brand statewide.

Wondering if anyone has thoughts? Again with the idea that we and other schools won't stop scheduling cupcakes anytime soon so instead of scheduling Austin Peay or App st perhaps a rotational schedule with all the schools in the state could be something good for football in the state.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
