LEAGUE MAPS OUT JSU SCHEDULE UNTIL 2011
Gamecocks must still fill several non-OVC dates
For the next four years at least, Jacksonville State should have no excuse to repeat the fiasco that cost it a big-money football game with Mississippi State.
The Ohio Valley Conference mapped out its conference football schedule through 2011 at its recent spring meetings, meaning the Gamecocks - or any other team in the league - will know without a doubt when OVC games are scheduled.
