James Madison, Richmond to play in football finale, CAA says

Top-ranked James Madison will play Richmond on April 17 after each had to pull out of a scheduled matchup because of protocols in their programs, the Colonial Athletic Association said.

Additionally, the Spiders' game Saturday against William & Mary has been canceled because of coronavirus-related protocols within the Tribe program.

The Dukes (4-0, 2-0 CAA) are the top-ranked team in the STATS Perform FCS Top 25, but have not played a home conference game this season. If they beat Richmond, they would be in position to claim the league's automatic berth in the FCS playoffs.
