Correct. Why the students need a week of fall break is beyond me! We have

had graduation no later than Mother’s Day for a long time. We’ve flipped with Radford so we hit Mother’s Day every other year and the weekend before it every other year. The students get way too much time off during the year, especially considering how many online classes they have. Hurts us in attendance for ACC basketball games, too.

Agree. The committee’s ranking doesn’t matter if we had zero shot anyway.
