Marshall/App State schedule H/H
2020 @ Marshall
2029 @ App State
@DavidSmoak: Hearing from multiple sources @BUFootball is working towards confirming season opening home game against @LATechFB. However, it’s contingent on Conference USA making some adjustments to their schedule before that game becomes official. @BaylorAthletics #Baylor @SicEm365Radio
@PeteThamel: Sources: MAC sub-committee met Sunday night for an early discussion of spring football. They debated between six games or eight. They debated the calendar — Jan-March, Feb-April or March-May. Also discussed linking with MWest for postseason. No conclusions, lots of questions.
Not real confident that CUSA moves in our favor.
@PeteThamel: Sources: Expect Conference USA to decide on testing frequency standards this week -- either 2 or 3 weekly tests. Overall, the league is still expected to follow the direction of the Big 12 and SEC. AD opinions are mixed, but sentiment is to follow remaining Power 5 leagues.
The chance that that many tests over that many players reveals a positive test is 100%.
What happens when (not if) someone tests positive? Shut the game/season down?

C-USA
Membership situation: Old Dominion, in C-USA’s Eastern Division, last week became the first member of a conference to bail on a season despite its own conference moving forward. FIU and Rice have both announced a delay to the start of their seasons.
How they got here: The C-USA presidents met late last week with no real decision out of the call except to keep on the path to a 2020 season. They heard from their medical board, specifically getting an update on a hot topic right now in college athletics: lingering heart issues in athletes who have recovered from COVID-19
What’s in store for this week: C-USA athletic directors meet each Monday and Thursday. It isn’t clear when the next meeting among the presidents will happen. At some point, potentially this week, the league is expected to release a new schedule that recognizes ODU’s absence and could finalize in-season testing protocols.
Outlook on 2020 fall: C-USA, like many Group of Five conferences, is somewhat connected to its Power 5 conference neighbors. In C-USA’s case, that’d be the ACC and SEC. As long as those two are still marching forward, it feels like C-USA will be right behind them. C-USA programs still have four guarantee games on the schedule, and those contests—along with the CFP distribution money—make it worthwhile financially to have a season. That said, the conference is expected to implement a similar in-season testing protocol to its Power 5 brethren, and that means steep prices for programs that have budgets that are one-tenth of the major colleges.
They said it: “Right now, all systems are ‘go.’ Everything is subject to change, but we’re in football mode.” —a conference source
