Yep, but now it may take longer as I’m sure we were counting on the 3 games in Florida. Prolly be calling some D2 and D3 but maybe hook up with some of the others who lost games in Florida.

It’s just gotten way out of hand. Anyone with any authority thinks they have to save the world. They ignore the fact that there is zero danger to 20 year old athletes. They ignore that the deaths rate from Covid is way down in all age groups and there are better treatment than there was 6 months ago. To them every “case” is a potential death sentence because of the media.

When you say we will have 25 games that means we will have 7 non conference games. Who will they be against and do you know if contracts have been signed for these games?

Any news on ticket information?

25 games will be the NCAA max if not in an exempt tourney which looks like we won’t be. Only games that may still happen that we know about are Alabama and Cincinnati. The Louisville game is not happening per CBR. It’s a screwed up year for sure. First games are less than a month away and hardly anyone has released their non-conference schedule. The cancellation of the ESPN events was bad as a lot of teams were counting on those games including Furman. Since the NCAA has issued a blanket waiver for MTE’s I’m hoping maybe some teams from the cancelled events can get together for an event but that is prolly a pipe dream.
