...So, bottom line, all these bowl games in blue states are having to relocate to red states this year just to get any business done. :rolleyes:Quote:

Send UAB to UTEP, Rice to Tech. Now you have 2 less teams sitting at home.Quote:

I've seen articles this morning that the CDC is looking to change their quarantine guidelines soon. Looks like it might be 2 days after testing negative providing you wait 3 to 5 days after exposure to test. That would cut the quarantine time to 7 to 10 days after exposure. Maybe this will help with some of the scheduling problems.
Nick Saban has tested positive again, this time with symptoms.

Only one imho. That’s the player’s (Hardy) issue. Period!Quote:

This is no surprise. After yesterday's fiasco in San Antonio, the natives are very restless tonight in Denton, TX. UNT Head Coach Seth Littrell knows this. I suspect he would much rather live to fight another day by cancelling this game, rather than lose another game this season to a peer opponent. Without losing another game, Littrell knows he can survive the season. But lose to LA Tech, and they just might send him packing.Quote:

CUSA scheduled a conference game for UAB this weekend against MTSU. No surprise for the little golden boy to get preferential treatment.Quote:

Covid at UAB issues
The issues are at MT. UAB is looking for a game, and USM is available to makeup last week's game.Quote:

If Liberty can't play, it looks like ESPN is going to bring in BYU as the replacement.
Should we join the Sun Belt?Quote:

That's not new news. It was basically canceled weeks ago and just made official today.Quote:

There were going to be 42 FBS bowl games this year (Fenway and Myrtle Beach new bowls) with 8 now canceled and two relocated (Fenway to Montgomery and New Mexico to Frisco).
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AdeptSleepyFlea-mobile.mp4This puts CUAB in a pickle. IF the Blazers don't find an opponent for this weekend, they won't likely qualify for the West Div title. They've only played 3 conference games.Quote:

So, while undefeated Marshall from CUSA was afraid to play BYU this week, the Sunbelt's Coastal Carolina was not. If I had one, my vote would go to CC before Marshall.
Oregon replaces Washington in championship game. Washington out due to COVID.
At least the Ivy League is consistent, in cutting sports that is.
