The schools made it official and announced the game, which will take place on November 5, 2022 and be played in Louisville&#8217;s Cardinal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/susanadams\/2018\/07\/13\/university-of-louisville-strips-papa-johns-from-its-football-stadium\/#1087a0ae7ab9\">not Papa John&#8217;s<\/a>) Stadium. The Cardinals will pay JMU $600,000 for. Unless some other school breaks the bank for 2021, a year JMU hasn&#8217;t yet scheduled an FBS game, it will be the largest payout the Dukes have ever received.<\/p>\n<p>This is great news for Dukes fans. Louisville is a respected program from the ACC. The Cardinals have been to bowl games the past 8 seasons and have a Heisman Trophy winner in Lamar Jackson who likely will be starting for the Baltimore Raves in 2022 (sorry Flacco, not elite). While Head Coach Bobby Petrino is, well, Bobby Petrino, the man can coach. Playing on the road at Louisville is a chance for JMU to face some a terrific program and it will garner some serious attention if the Dukes walk out with the W. And Louisville is one heck of a road trip for fans. We got to thinking about it and here are our top 600,001 reasons that we&#8217;re excited for this game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1-600,000:<\/strong> Dollars<\/p>\n<p><strong>600,001:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kybourbontrail.com\/map\/\">Bourbon Trail<\/a><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D10346&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our beloved JMU Dukes are all set to play the Louisville Cardinals in 2022.
