The MAC postponed a statement after Wednesday’s meeting until Sunday. Rumor has it NIU is pulling out for the season. Nothing official yet
Blue shirt rules allow for unrecruited players to be awarded a scholarship at the start of freshman practice. This allows a team that may have too many commits to essentially borrow against their next year's scholarship total.
So I believe Bubba Arslanian was a blue shirt, he was on the travel team & never played his freshman year & was redshirted & he paid his first year of college & the scholarship kicks in year two. It’s used when you don’t have any scholarships left & goes against the next years allotment
I tend to believe you but they will wait as long as they can & will try very hard as it is so important in so many ways for schools, students, communities & the overall economy. So much money they want to at least try
A grey shirt is an incoming college freshman who postpones his enrollment in classes until the second term of his freshman year. This means they don't take classes until the winter term. The NCAA allows collegeathletes five years to complete four years of eligibility after initial enrollment.
No road trip to Clemson, was really looking forward to this trip for a few years now, Damn COVID-19, I had already come to terms with it but I guess it’s official now
Notre Dame has 6 ACC games this year, if you need 9 games for a complete schedule For playoffs, there will be a lot of teams willing to fill in there schedule

This will have a big affect on the MAC
I do fear football could be lost this year. Many of the schools that are in states that opened early are having spikes. Football is probably the worst sport as o-line & d-line are going full go in each other’s faces with a lot of droplets being exchanged. To a lesser degree the receivers & DB’s are also going at it very hard. I’m not sure you can prevent spikes among football teams during competition
I hope there is a football season, couldn’t imagine a fall without it but i am nervous of the possibility of it being cancelled
