Somehow we found a way to increase the amount of bureaucracy. It's amazing. It's like the industrial revolution but for pointy-haired bosses.Quote:

UAB also lands a game in 2020 vs. UCA.
@BrettMcMirphy: With ODU not playing this fall, Conference USA East schools - Charlotte, FAU, FIU, Marshall, Middle Tennessee & WKU - will each play only 7 league games, while C-USA West schools will play 8 league games, sources told @Stadium
So weird.Quote:

But, playing uneven numbers of conference games just feels off.
Of course, by the time it's all played out it's pretty unlikely that all 13 teams get all of their 7-8 conference games in anyway. Be even weirder to see CUSA standings someday where you have one team at 4-1 and another is 3-4 and another is 6-2 and another is 1-2.
MLB standings kind of look off like that now.
I don't see why they don't play these games on 12/5 and push the championship back a week. This would also allow schools to pick up a non-conference game if they wanted, or if schools wanted to push one of their conference games to this date to give an extra open date.Quote:

ODU needs donors https://odusports.com/news/2020/8/11...o-step-up.aspx
Agreed. It's absurd to think Ohio State doesn't carry a big stick in that conference anyway. If OSU would have said last week that "we're playing football", everybody else would have gotten on board.Quote:

ODU is asking a lot .Quote:
