scheduling an OOC game when students are back on campus

The Tribe played at Oklahoma in 1951 and has not played that far west since.

W&M was the school which plagiarized the Stanford's press release in 2020 cutting sports

Stanford was scheduled to open its season against William & Mary in 2020, but the game never happened because of Covid.

and I would guess that we have to pay them whether we play them or not.....of course scheduling the game in early Sept might have been better....

Stanford is truly an ACC team now.  Going to Williamsburg for the patsy.

Stanford playing at Williamsburg might draw a bigger crowd.

We need to excite the greater Bay Area about Stanford football, and fill that stadium. William & Mary will, to most fans, sound like a kitchenware retailer.

Who knows what the landscape will look like in 5 years? Since this was announced just now almost 5 years after the originally scheduled game was cancelled, I wonder if Bernard was slow-playing them.

Stanford still has plenty of openings on its schedules going forward. Having one FCS game a year is not out of the question.
