I'm confused.
So this is nowhere except in the Heights. And their source is a press release on BCEagles.com, but the press release they link contains no mention of a 2017 game against Central Michigan. I see no other information on BCEagles.com about this Chippewa game.
2017 already has ND, UConn and N.Illinois all locked in, with dates already set. The Richmond game is the only one yet to be announced that Central Michigan would take the place of. But does anyone here really think BB would drop our FCS opponent? Why pay a G5 for a one-off game when you can pay an FCS? It's cheaper. It's not like C. Michigan is any more of a draw than Richmond.
Something's fishy. Regardless, I'm holding off on updating the initial future schedule post until I see something more concrete.
2. Boston College Eagles
Sept. 10: at UMass
Sept. 24: Wagner
Oct 1: Buffalo
Nov. 19: UConn
Boston College's defense last season was no joke. The Eagles ranked first nationally in total defense and fourth in scoring defense and allowed more than 20 points only three times all season. They also won just three games all season but have a nonconference schedule in 2016 tailor-made to have four built-in wins. Three of the games are at home, and the away game out of conference next season is against UMass at Gillette Stadium. Considering BC had to play Notre Dame last season at home, that's not a bad trade-off.

Rutgers would be better than Yukon.

A lot of the remaining fan base might be dead by the time those games get played. We need to get rid of this guy, he is just an awful fit at BC.

Cupcake as in only one P5 and two G5's and an FCS every year, absolutely. I think Bates would love to go 3-1 OOC every year at the very worst.
Cupcake in terms of the one P5 marquee game, that remains to be seen. Purdue is cupcake P5, but there weren't many options left and we're rebuilding. I'd like to hope that moving forward Bates will be targeting more P5's like Stanford than like Purdue.
Personally, moreso than the OOC schedule, I think Bates needs to push for changes to the ACC scheduling. It's time for a Big East and ACC Division split. Give us VT, Miami, Louisville, Syracuse, VT and Pitt every year and the home slate starts looking better already. Just get rid of the fucking Carolina teams.
