Better safe than sorry and we're not talking about big time money here, not that it should matter.
And as much as going to games buoyed our spirits, it's more important that when safe , we play as opposed to playing and having fans. Though understand the position of those who want to go to games, D.C.'s positivity rate seems to be exploding and the games are on TV.
However, while erring on the side of caution as noted above, it is a good point that policies should be uniform throughout the league.

Game @St. Joes rescheduled for January 19

Game @Duquesne rescheduled to Feb 15
 

GW can be excused for being a little leery of actually competing in this league right now, given last few years and the OOC, so I'm just going to assume the AD is slow walking the season and trying to play as few games as possible, under the inscrutable new GW motto "You win 100% of the games you don't play."

Mentzinger, I agree with you on ML but in this case you are 100% incorrect. GW is planning on making up all games missed and will likely play Saturday. There is zero advantage to not playing games for almost a month as we saw last year.

Perhaps someone could view this as a bit of a joke.  But I don't.  I think the AD could be trying to slow-walk the rest of the games and is hoping to get to March Madness (GW's off-season) as quickly and quietly as possible.

My God, if it's come to this, we should all walk away from this program right now.  No, I am going to interpret Mentzinger's post as a tongue-in-cheek remark not meant to be taken seriously.  There's absolutely nothing to be gained by not playing when we could be playing.  What a colossal disservice to the players this would be.

Yet JF makes a comment that's worth considering.  Before this season started, most of us felt that this needed to be a year of progress without any excuses.  Well, Covid has proven to be a pretty damn good excuse in the past, and as much as we hate this notion, could end up being a more than viable one by the end of this season.  Suffice it to say that we'll need to see how the rest of this season goes with respect to games played.  If we play Saturday, stay healthy, and miss say a handful of additional games due to opponents being unhealthy (and as we are seeing, the conference would like to make up these games), then the Covid excuse becomes negligible.  But, if this turns into another season of ongoing starts and stops, then I don't see how JC or anyone could be judged as if this was a perfectly normal season.

Don't know if this has been posted.    Updated Atlantic 10 schedule.  Noted that the St. Joes and Duquesne games have been rescheduled but haven't seen anything about the Bonnies.

On the USA network.   Its been a long time, if ever, since the game has been broadcast on USA.  Game notes attached.

GW will be restricting students from visiting each other in residence halls

https://www.gwhatchet.com/2022/01/08/gw-tightens-spring-residence-hall-guest-policy-as-campus-residents-return/

“With a residential student only guest policy this means no outside guests, including guests from other GW residential buildings are allowed to visit the residence halls until further notice,” the email reads. “This includes family or friends from outside of GW as well as GW students who live off-campus.  The one exception is up to two helpers who arrive with you to help you move back into the halls when you arrive.”

Wow, what a deal.  Spend $75k on tuition + room & board and you can't have your Mom & Dad come visit.

I wasn't sure what the best thread to put this on was... but I just got an email from the university saying that in-person classes will resume next Tuesday but athletic events will still be held without fans through the end of January. They're saying there will be a "phased approach" to resuming in person events starting February 1.

This means that the home game against Fordham will also not be played in front of fans.  So, if you're keeping score:

UMES                             postponed, not likely to be rescheduled
St. Bonaventure               postponed, not rescheduled as of yet
Dayton                            played at home without fans
At St. Joe's                     rescheduled
At Duquesne                  rescheduled
George Mason               scheduled to be played at home without fans
Fordham                        scheduled to be played at home without fans
