George Mason and VCU close to a 4-year deal to resume series

Looks like the rumored George Mason-VCU series that we talked about earlier this month will be a four year series and begin next season in Richmond. Here is the tweet from the Post's Steven Goff:

VCU is becoming one of the better teams in the country this season and Mason fans have enjoyed the sense of a rivalry that has brewed with them.
