This class is really good on paper. We'll see in five years how they work out. And, many of our best classes were before internet rating services existed! Late 50s and the mid to late 60s were also very good.

I think it's from 2019, but not sure yet.

But the decision isn't being made today. Things change rapidly and will most certainly be different in a few weeks. A few weeks ago, things were far better. And based on non-political sources like Your Local Epidemiologist, there has been improvement since each day since last weekend. The decision do not need to be made now - neither the Big XII nor the SEC have made decisions - so let's wait and see.

Or February, March or April. Not sure when the season will start, much less when it could end. With trials already starting on vaccine candidates, the chance of a post season after the regular season improve. Delaying or canceling the regular season is certainly an unknown.

I should point at the several ADs from CUSA have said there is no discussions at all about a merger, team swap or anything with any other conference. The whole thing appears to be being pushed by reporters, generally reporters who cover non-CUSA school, who don't have anything else to write about.

Good. Things will likely be different in a few months as they have changed drastically every month so far this year.

Oh, that math is hard.

That is great news!

He only posts here when there are free articles he can link to. The only free articles in the DRC are COVID-19 related.

We can be better than last year - a lot better - and not be contending for a title. No one had spring training this year which could help equalize things. This year is going to depend on talent and individual work. I agree on the six wins as a likely result, but with so many unknowns it's more difficult this year to make predictions. In my imagination, we always start 14-0.

It appears schools dropping programs must still balance sports opportunities for women through Title IX. Have too many scholarships for men and you are going to get sued. Multiple quotes from attorneys in the article. The Wake Forest AD points out all schools "can't be everything to everyone." https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=116994c5-3bc5-49c4-9c9b-4ef174103fed&appid=1125

Here's an article with more detail on the decision against a blanket drop in total number of required sports. https://www.golfchannel.com/news/ncaa-blanket-waiver-cutting-sports-will-not-be-considered 1. Individual schools can still make the request. There is a history of schools in emergency situations - after natural disasters, etc. - doing so. But they have always been required to bring the total number BACK in a few years. . The D1 Counsel is made up of people directly involved at colleges. It's AD, Coaches, Presidents, Conference Commissioners and even some student athletes. Here is the current list. http://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=1COUNCIL

I think Mason used up all of his eligibility.

Since Colorado State, AF, Wyoming, San Diego State and I think New Mexico have repeatedly said they do NOT want multiple Central Time Zone schools and WILL NOT make the concessions that were granted to TCU again, I don't see how a MWC East is a possibility.

Actually, we didn't meet the stadium requirement. If we had designated Texas Stadium as our home stadium as Tex Schram wanted us to, we could have stayed 1A. It was a retroactive requirement meaning when it was announced, no schools had the option of complying. It was the only time the NCAA has made a retroactive requiremen for Division status.

Yes, it will. There was an article in today's DMN about over 20 NASCAR drivers participating in an eNASCAR event this weekend. It's getting network coverage. I'm on my phone so I can't link the article.

Who?

I didn't actually think it would happen, but ...

Any chance the NCAA might do something for the Seniors denied tournament participation? I highly doubt it, but these are interesting times!

Hey @Brett Vito maybe you could put a paragraph about Covid19 in every story so they could all be free for a while. Just a thought!

Hopefully!

True - the venues are booked years in advance. Also CBS has other things scheduled for then as well. Soooo, congratulations to our Mean Green NATIONAL CO-CHAMPIONS!
