Recent conference decisions impacting Liberty’s 2020 football schedule – Lynchburg News and Advance

Western Michigan, which was scheduled to host Syracuse this season, cant play that game at home because of ACC rules that say any nonconference game must be played in the ACCs team state.

Syracuse could host Western Michigan this season and then play at WMU in 2023 (the year the Orange are scheduled to host Broncos).

We might do that. Theres the possibility of that, Wildhack told reporters. I think the initial conversation will be on our scheduled home nonconference opponent who still plans to play, which is Liberty.

Liberty had a Nov. 21 road game scheduled against N.C. State, which is the only scheduled nonconference home game that hasnt been canceled for the Wolfpack. They have lost games against Mississippi State and Delaware, and Troy was slated to host N.C. State this season.

Flames athletic director Ian McCaw declined to comment, citing several moving parts in the schedule that havent been finalized and could come into picture throughout this week.

One of those moving parts is Tuesdays NCAA Board of Governors meeting that could determine the fate of the fall sports championships. While the College Football Playoff and FBS bowl games are not run by the NCAA, there are 23 other sports in Divisions I, II and III that could be affected by Tuesdays meeting.
