SEC conference only

[EWU98]

And with that our game vs. the Gators is canceled

Unfortunately I saw this coming. That is yet another big hit to the budget.

At this point, it feels like the best solution is just to push the start of the season back six months and do it right.

What are odds BSC will play a conference only schedule...70/30? If they cancel season till next year how will scholarhips work with incoming players if they allow seniors to come back? I sure hope they play.

I worry with no $ games, and highly unlikely to have fans in the stands, Big Sky calls it.

What do you really save by not having a season?
Travel- of course
lodging
meals
maybe Covid testing
Other direct costs of a game
Costs still ongoing:
coaches and training salaries and burden
scholarships

If the season gets cancelled they must believe it would be a financial loss, and/or most schools wouldn’t be able to recoup costs.
With the Florida/$$$ game now gone, I also think the BSC will probably announce a decision very soon.
It’s too bad, I was really looking forward to visiting Gainesville & Jacksonville... and watching Eastern beat an SEC team.

Disappointing. Had the Florida game in my sights and was looking forward to rubbing elbows with 1,000's of sweaty Gator fans.

Aiming to make a trip up in October and looking forward to seeing the new turf.

Hope everyone here has been as unaffected by "the Rona" as I and my family. Lucky

Given all the tumult, shouldn't the NCAA just step in and push the season back? It feels like the path of least resistance at this point. I know it's not ideal for one season to end in early June and then have players report back to fall camp two months later, but it seems better for everyone involved than playing a total whackanoodle schedule.

In addition, we have no FBS on the schedule for 2021.
