We're getting very close to what I'd assume would be the start of the spring season. I'm pretty sure IU had a couple of games scheduled for Feb, but that schedule has disappeared. The ticket office has no clue, either.
UW-Green Bay announced theirs yesterday https://greenbayphoenix.com/news/2021/1/15/green-bay-unveils-2020-21-mens-soccer-schedule.aspx
Posted this in the cancellation thread, but I think it's good to have a 'positive' schedule thread. James Madison has announced its (abbreviated) Spring 2021 schedule. Seven games (so far) plus the conference tournament: "... The season begins mid-February and continues through early April. The Dukes play three nonconference opponents at the start of the season before shifting to CAA play. They play at defending national champion Georgetown Feb. 19, at George Mason Feb. 27 and welcome George Washington to Harrisonburg March 6. After 15 days off, JMU opens its conference schedule. The Dukes will play two matches at home and two games on the road, with contests at College of Charleston (March 27) and at William & Mary (April 2). The two home matches are versus Elon (March 21) and versus UNCW (April 9). The dates for the CAA Tournament will be released at a later date. As with all things regarding the pandemic, all games are subject to change in date, location and time." https://www.breezejmu.org/sports/jm...cle_fcf53360-55af-11eb-9d5c-5b1321475933.html[/QUOTE]
https://gorhody.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule?path=msoc URI is one of the only ones in the Northeast that I have seen with their actual schedule up. Other conferences in this area have announced their plans to play and thrown out start and end dates but I haven't seen the schedules on individual schools websites yet. A bunch of WCC schools do have their schedules up, Portland has an exhibition match scheduled for this week. https://portlandpilots.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule

Here's all of IU's schedule I've been able to piece together: Updated schedule - we play NU twice: February 19 @ Wisconsin February 27 @ Northwestern March 7 vs Penn State March 11 vs Wisconsin March 15 vs Michigan State March 19 @ Rutgers March 23 vs Northwestern March 27 @ Michigan April 4 vs Maryland Don't know about OSU yet.
Maryland's schedule is up - B1G opponents only (so far?) - 10 games, Rutgers twice. https://umterps.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule
Yeah, all are playing two geographically close teams twice. Of course, it's hard for me to figure out how Wisconsin, which is about 390 miles away from IU, is closer than OSU, which is 230 miles away.
Vermont released theirs. 3 non conference games before starting America East play. https://uvmathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule/2020-21
Georgetown is doing what Maryland did the year before - keeping the prior season's Championship schedule up until the last possible moment.
One last tweak - IU/Wisconsin games have been switched: 2/19 is home, 3/11 is away. I'm okay w/ that - 2/19 in Madison would be "brisk."
Remember, it needs to work for both teams: Wisconsin playing Northwestern twice, Indiana makes sense as their other "close" team. Michigan State and Michigan would be the other two possibilities. (All three of those cities relatively the same distance from Madison)
And none nearly as close to IU as OSU. IU <-> OSU: 230 miles OSU <-> MSU: 252 miles OSU <-> UM: 180 miles IU <-> NU: 250 miles IU <-> Wis: 383 miles Wis <-> MSU: 348 miles
The BigEast is sticking with the e/w divisions and a h/a schedule: https://friars.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule. It's been a very nice winter in NE but too cold in February ... but could be worse.
