Spriing in the MWC, they better be a running team because those spring winds can be tough in many of MWC schools locations.  Not unusual to see 50 plus MPH wins in Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Nevada and it can be tough in Wyoming, CSU in the winter (spring).

Makes sense. PAC-12 isn’t playing non-conference. Big Sky pulled the plug. That left BYU, UTEP, and NMSU as only possible FBS opponents in the region. Newcomer Dixie State is the only FCS. Lot of flying in the MWC including all games involving Hawaii. Outside the front range of Wyoming, CSU, AFA not many bus trips

The PAC-12 will probably follow the BIG 10 and cancel fall ball. It will be interesting to see if the SEC can convince BIG 12 and ACC to give football a go.

Never heard of Dixie State. Where is it located?

It seems like the pandemonium is because this one thing is being tracked like nothing ever before. It won’t be long before they find that the incidences of other things, and their possible connections to other other things, make life just too risky to live. It has been all along.
