"Competition will be limited to MAC institutional members beginning no earlier than September 18th, 2020 and with the goal of reaching NCAA minimums in all sports."
I added the bold in what is throwing me for a loop. So, based on that, would non-conference games PRIOR to September 18th still be played? That doesn't sound like cancelling the non conference schedule. In which case, the YSU game is September 5th, 2020 and would still be played?
