That will be decided by the NCAA.

By playing the game in 2021. I think the entire 2020 schedule will be played in 2021, with all other games pushed back a year.

The Ivy League is cancelling all fall sports during the fall. No sports will be played until 1-1-21 at the earliest. The Ivy League was the first domino that ended all conference championships and put an end to March Madness. https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/1280955217677344770 Stanford dropping 11 sports after the 2020-2021 year. https://news.stanford.edu/2020/07/08/athletics/ My guess is this is is the tip of the iceberg. The Big XII is having multiple shut downs because of positive COVID19 testing. This is a mandatory quarantine in New York for people coming from Kansas, which puts the season opener for football in peril. My prediction is that the Ivy league will lead the way again and that there will be no fall sports in the entire NCAA for all divisions. It will get to the point where the risk of multiple law suits from students who develop COVID19 from teammates will be too expensive for schools to afford. Even if schools were to accept the claims for this (and all other injuries) under their states Workers' Compensation Laws, it would still be too expensive to try to hold fall sports.

If he is not already in Europe, will he be allowed to travel there?

See Thread in General discussion this.

For those who think about where UB may end up he is a major overhaul from Pat Forde in SI. https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/29/ncaa-college-football-conference-realignment

First there was a COVID issue, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/sports/ncaafootball/college-football-coronavirus-cases.html?searchResultPosition=8 Now there is a protest over what a student tweeted https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/06/28/sports/ncaafootball/ap-fbc-racial-injustice-kansas-state-tweet.html?searchResultPosition=1 It will be an interesting 70 days. Because of ongoing technical issues, I cannot add another post to the thread. Kansas State has a 15.26% positive test rate. Only two cases are currently active. https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/1282793892367097856?s=20

Makes you wonder if the school know something about the 2020 Paradise Jam. I do not think either school would want to play each other twice within two weeks. Even if the schools are on opposite sides of the bracket they could meet in the Championship or 7th place game on November 23.

Official game will be on Halloween. https://twitter.com/MACSports/status/1275141553510645760

Anderson will play his last season for Western Illinois. https://twitter.com/Teezus4k/status/1273777302812479489

Are there technical issues withe the site? Tweets no longer appear. Now links are no longer hyperlinked.

This will be a loss on the academic side. https://twitter.com/OBN_Radio/status/1273284581437964289 https://twitter.com/Joseph_Duarte/status/1273286598747176966

U Sports (the Canadian NCAA) has cancelled all of its fall championships over COVID-19 concern. I do not think that collegiate sports are as big in or have as big financial benefit (define that any way you want) as they do in the United States, but this development is interesting to say the least. https://usports.ca/en/news/2020/06/4079288233/u-sports-cancels-2020-fall-championships-due-to-covid-19 Thoughts @verandaman.

A conference will not take only part of a school's athletic programs. If a school changes conferences it is for all sports offered by the new conference. The one offs are for sports that the new conference does not offer. That is why wrestling would have to find a new home (and I doubt the MAC would keep them since the school would otherwise be leaving the conference). It would be like Notre Dame being in the Big 10 for hockey because the ACC is not a hockey conference. Or Missouri in the MAC for wrestling because the SEC does not wrestle.

Speak for yourself. It is unlikely that the additional TV revenue would cover the added expenses. Where would wrestling go?

Three best academic schools in the conference.

Unless she gets waiver, she has to sit.

The MAC announced that he game against Northern Illinois scheduled for election Day will be moved. This is part of a national trend within the NCAA for nothing to take place athletically on Election Day. I will now not have to watch election returns on TV with the game on my laptop as I did in 2008. Progress. https://twitter.com/MACSports/status/1271560144594374660/photo/1

The goal was reached. The full match will be made. To those who gave thank you. It also looks like Athletics will pick up an additional $7,500.00 from President Tripathi and his wife for having the most donors.

Thanks for giving.

Pandemic, it is in all the newspapers and they know right now is not a great time to make an ask for money. It could offend people which could have long term repercussions in getting donations.

No. It is on but being done low key.

Today is UB Giving Day. I realize that times may be tough economically for people now. However, an anonymous donor is willing to match all donations up to a total of $15,000.00 for any donation made between noon on Wednesday and noon on Thursday made to the Intercollegiate Athletics Fund. This fund allows UB Athletics to use the funds for whatever need they feel is most urgent. If you can donate wonderful and your money will twice as far. If you are unable to donate that is not a problem and understandable with all of the issues before our country right now. https://ubgivingday.buffalo.edu/

Ok the topic is there as click bait, it worked. Coach Whitesell has announced that basketball practice (if they are back) is canceled on November 3, 2020. It is canceled so that everyone can vote. It is part of nationwide program backed by hte National Association of Basketball Coaches. https://twitter.com/jim_whitesell/status/1268632607505424385?cxt=HHwWgoC1jdKoi5sjAAAA
