The James Madison University football home schedule will include one noon start, three late-afternoon starts, and one evening start, the school’s athletics department announced today.
Several of the starting times have been set for television with five JMU games – two home and three away – scheduled to be televised through arrangements with the Colonial Athletic Association.
