Always fun to talk about possible future matchups.

So much has changed since John took over.  As of today, we have one opening in 2024.  That is it until 2027 (assuming we will continue to play a single FCS game each season).  Heck, even the FCS games are fully booked except the ones in 2024 and 2025.

We went from one of the last programs in the country to fill up their schedule to one of the most aggressive programs filling up future years very quickly.

Very pleased with this.  Really like the future schedules, which I think give the program a realistic chance to win some OOC games and play in some bowl games.

I am guessing there will be an announcement on what we are doing with the 2024 openings shortly.  My first thought was that we might schedule that away game at Rutgers for 2024, but I posted an article a while back that indicated the standard contracts for the OOC games provide an out for schools that missed an away OOC game because of things like COVID (act of god, etc).  Syracuse only has 6 home games booked for 2024 and would surely prefer to play another home game if possible.

If you want to speculate on FCS opponents, here is a look at what we have been doing in recent years, and are scheduled to do in the future:

2012 SUNY Stony Brook
2013 Wagner
2014 Villanova
2015 Rhode Island
2016 Colgate
2017 Central Connecticut State
2018 Wagner
2019 Holy Cross
2020 none; COVID (was scheduled to play Colgate)
2021 SUNY Albany
2022 Wagner
2023 Colgate
2024 TBD
2025 TBD
2026 New Hampshire
