    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.

    UL-LLLL adds UAB and UCA to 2020 schedule
    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.

    Not sure what would have been a better option, and this season is going to make the record books all wonky anyway (and to be honest, college football is so uneven historically that maybe it won't matter).

    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.

    @PeteThamel: Source: Conference USA is leaning toward mandatory three times a week COVID-19 testing during competition weeks. It may take a few days to formalize, but that's the expectation around the league. This would give CUSA and the Big 12 the strictest testing standards.

    What happens when (not if) someone tests positive? Shut the game/season down?
    I'm still not sure what this is intended to accomplish. How does this fit into a broader plan for managing risk (not pretending to eliminate risk)?

    So, CUSA East schools + UAB and UTSA, right?

    Doesn't that have the potential for some tie-breaking drama? Imagine 7-1 Tech, 7-1 USM, 6-1 UAB (all losses split between the 3 schools). Does that tie-breaker come down to head-to-head between Tech and USM? Is UAB just out because of the winning percentage? You think that'll go over well?

    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.
