Looks like America East playing conference games only. That takes Scooby and Bingo off the table.

Game Schedule you ask?? What do we know?? Playing 6 ACC regular-season games has been approved, but without a conference tournament in 2021. How do you play 6 conference games in a 5-team league? Good question. We will have 2 games versus two of our ACC opponents (plan for now is North Carolina and Syracuse) while playing only 1 game versus the other two ACC opponents (Duke and Notre Dame). Eliminating the conference tournament is only for 2021, and is being done to reduce costs and have better preparation for each contest this season. Will we play non-ACC opponents?? The plan is Yes. Our schedule will hopefully include a typical full slate of contests from February to May. The anticipation is our schedule will be released in early January. Will you be able to attend games?? Except for family, it is very doubtful at this point. We will dearly miss having our boisterous and faithful supporters up at Klöckner Stadium and in the stands for our road games. A television schedule should be released in January as well.
One would imagine that if we play twice it will be home-and-home. But what will they do about the other games? Will it be what would have been in 2020 or what it should be for 2021? The way our schedule is set up, ND and UNC are paired and Duke and SU are paired. We were supposed to play the N's on the road in 2020 and Duke and SU at home. Whatever they decide, 2021 will have us with 3 home and 3 away games.You were just gonna play us in the ACC Tournament Finals anyways.
