My guess is you're right. Only 4 home games in a year would be awful and I'm sure that's the route they'll look to take. Especially needing wins to potentially make the playoffs. A game against Stetson would be better than only having 10.
But, I wonder how hard it would be to turn down one of those ACC schools or UCF if they happened to have the same bye week after cancelling this week?
Well, if you schedule another FBS school you are all but punting on the playoffs. That would effectively require Furman to run the table in the SoCon to make the postseason.
I don't have any issue with a team like Stetson. Honestly, Furman routinely has the toughest schedule in the league, so I'm ok with playing a nonscholarship team. Just don't make a habit of it.
With the ACC schools, it may depend on a lot of things. UVA already played Richmond this year. Is it likely they want to play another FCS school? Do they want to shell out another $500k (or whatever the amount is)?
