Academic year is already over, I believe (isn't graduation on Mother's Day?). However, your point is taken. I wonder whether W&M had any say in when they received their bye week. On the one hand, it is good to have the bye late like this because of the rest factor. It also means that the seniors don't have to play any games during their graduation weekend (which I think was an issue last year). On the other hand, it means that the team had a long, long run through the season without any bye week, so that could lead to exhaustion. It also means that academically they had no respite from baseball during the season (during mid-terms, papers, etc) and now that they have the bye they aren't even doing anything academically. Also, don't some other CAA schools also graduate the same week as W&M?
