The pandemic is a convenient scapegoat for UConn. Like the Ivy League, UConn had already gone to 'online only' for this semester. Having football this season made absolutely no sense at all. UConn will likely cancel their 2021 football season as well. They have no conference games scheduled, no Big East football television contract, and they're not going to keep 85 players that can't practice for over a year on scholarship. Watch for them to join for football only as an associate member of the FCS Patriot League or the Colonial Athletic Association in 2022 with all new players. .

Zach, I see your mother at many of the games and how supportive she is of you and the team. Prayers from my family are certainly with your family for her quick recovery.

Best Class Ever is determined by history and not a 247 rating. There does seem to be a lot of exceptional potential in the 2020 class and they may eventually achieve that designation. Time will tell.

That day's UTA game was our last home game ever to be played on natural turf. Fouts had Astroturf installed in the following months, and the archaic cinder track encircling the field was replaced with a rubber all-weather track. Being one of the last stadiums with cinder tracks in the country, Fouts was selected as a shooting locale for the Robby Benson movie "Running Brave" which chronicled Native American runner Billy Mills and his incredible upset victory at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Epps was his adopted name, and he changed it back to his birth name Corbin Montgomery for his senior season. After graduating, he again changed his name to Umar Muhammad to reflect his new religious commitment. He then had an nine year career as an RB and DL in the Arena Football League.

I know the rule wasn't retroactive when it went into effect in July 2018, but the NCAA should offer all seniors (2017 signing class) that played in 4 games or less their freshman season an extra season of eligibility. Why? Because they have extended that to everyone from their class that has played in four games or less in subsequent seasons, and every signing class since then has been extended a redshirt year under those conditions. It's the right thing to do, but it has been overlooked by the NCAA. They still have time to correct the omission,

I concur, only if there is a return game scheduled at Apogee. I don't care if it's contracted for 2030, but there really needs to be a return game. Tech was contracted to play at Fouts in 1998 and 2001. Tech refused to play in Denton after North Texas won 30-27 in Lubbock in 1997, and demanded that the return games be played in Irving at Texas Stadium, or they were backing out of the agreement. North Texas won again in Lubbock in 1999, and had a shot to win on the last play of the 2000 game in Lubbock, but wait, LaDarrin has broken free and is racing down the sideline carrying the football like a loaf of bread.... Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! NOOOOO!

Jeremy Combs (born November 24, 1995) is an American basketball player for the Köping Stars in the Basketligan, the highest tier of basketball in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Combs After a high school career at David W. Carter High School in Dallas, Combs committed to North Texas Mean Green men's basketball, where he played for coach Tony Benford. In three seasons for the Mean Green, Combs averaged 12 points and 8.2 rebounds for the team and as a sophomore was named second-team All-Conference USA. At the close of Combs' three seasons at North Texas, Benford was fired and subsequently hired as an assistant at Louisiana State University (LSU). Combs was eligible as a graduate transfer and followed Benford to Baton Rouge.[1] In his lone season at LSU, Combs was limited to six games as he struggled with the lingering effects of his ankle injury suffered at North Texas.[2] Following the season, he and LSU parted ways, but he was granted a fifth year of eligibility and transferred to Texas Southern to complete it.[3] Combs made the most of his extra year, averaging 17 points and 9 rebounds per game and earning Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Player of the Year honors.

We should all start a campaign for Washington to re-brand their football team as the Washington Mustangs. After all, it's an animal that is not used as a mascot by any pro sports franchise or any major college program. WASHINGTON MUSTANGS

They may not have an option. Not only will visiting teams not want to make that flight, but its becoming more probable that the state of Hawaii will not let them in. This week the state has extended their strict 'two week quarantine' for visitors from the mainland until September, with plans to keep extending the quarantine until the pandemic passes.

Incarnate Word would have their game at Baylor cancelled if the Big 12 plays a 'conference only' schedule. Both North Texas and Incarnate Word have a bye week scheduled for October 24.

Bussey was transferring to Hawaii supposedly for more exposure against high profile teams. That's not gonna happen. Hawaii had nonconference games scheduled against Pac-12 opponents in Arizona (Aug. 29), UCLA (Sept. 5) and Oregon (Sept. 19) for the 2020 season. All three games are now canceled due to the Pac-12 choosing to only play against conference members. Additionally, Fordham has already cancelled their game at Hawaii due to excessive travel dangers. The Bows’ are now set to tentatively open the season at home against Robert Morris of Pennsylvania if Hawaii's partial season still gets played. I don't know how severely Rico burnt his bridges at North Texas and if there is any interest in him returning (from either side), but it is looking more and more like Hawaii will not be playing football this coming season.

You'd probably have better luck by contacting the athletic department and explaining your project than by asking on a fan message board. Then again, most of our athletic department can't figure out our school colors, so they may not be able to help.

It's horrible that all of these colleges are having to cut so many varsity sports. I wish the NCAA would allow Division 1 schools to be Division 1 in the major revenue sports, and non-scholarship Division III in all the non-revenue sports. It would enable the colleges to save huge amounts of scholarship money, and it would enable far more student participation. All our former 'club' sports would have budgets for uniforms and regional travel, and we could then have varsity Div III rugby, baseball, men's soccer, hockey, lacrosse, water skiing, bass fishing , rowing, sand volleyball, fencing, gymnastics, or whatever students want. Sports played could be determined by actual interest of participants and not by budget restrictions and Title IX restrictions. .

"Hefty Sum" may be a bit of a sensationalized inflammatory headline. There are 130 schools in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. According to USA Today, 331 NCAA assistant football coaches made as much or more in 2019 than Bowen is slated to be paid in 2020. 2019 FBS Assistant Football Coach Salaries .

They say Covid 19 is a matter of Life and Death... Football is much more important than that.

I don't know if Red Potato Skins is really a good choice for a mascot. The University of Denver tried something similar years ago with a stylized Baked Potato and it wasn't very popular.

Should the Redskins change their name? Yes. It's ridiculous that they've kept it for this long.

The University of Texas at San Antonio notified 312 employees Wednesday that their positions were eliminated to help close a $36 million budget shortfall caused by the coronavirus pandemic’s damage to state finances.The losses included one-tenth of the university’s non-tenured faculty, ranging across all academic departments.
