Mason Football Schedule
Here’s a breakdown of what a typical Mason football schedule might look like, assuming “Mason” refers to George Mason University, although they don’t currently have a football team. This is based on a hypothetical NCAA Division I FCS schedule:
Typical Season Structure:
- Preseason (August): Training camp and practices.
- Regular Season (Late August/Early September – November): Games are typically played on Saturdays, with occasional Thursday or Friday night games.
Opponents:
- Conference Games: If Mason had a team, they would be part of a conference (e.g., the Colonial Athletic Association – CAA). A significant portion of the schedule would be against other conference members.
- Non-Conference Games: These are games against teams from other conferences or independent programs. They are often scheduled to provide a mix of competition.
Game Day Experience:
- Home Games: Played at the university’s stadium.
- Away Games: Played at the opponent’s stadium.
Postseason:
- Playoffs (November/December): Teams that win their conference or receive an at-large bid based on their regular-season record can qualify for the NCAA FCS Playoffs.
