Outside football in January and February- even March in much of the north?

Yes, I find that being an issue.

I could see a spring schedule more likely, but would love to see that with football in the snow! If the GNAC were to do spring football like the Frontier Conference, I know there could be an issue with snow as it can even snow in April in Ellensburg.

All the BCS conference commissioners should just get together and push a college football season to the spring. In doing so, they could try to get all the schools to honor the non-conference commitments. Also, have a postseason like they normally would. They could start a normal 14 week (12 games plus 2 byes) season starting on Sat Jan 9th and finishing on Sat April 10th. Conference championship games can go on Sat April 17th. BCS playoffs can go in May after academic finals. I don't see this being an issue as the college baseball season normally extends past the academic school year.

All lower level leagues (FCS, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO) can do something similar.

Thank you for taking care of that for me. I was combining wheat last night and didn't see it until this morning!

More MLB players testing positive for Covid-19, with the Cardinals being the latest team hit by the virus.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I don't get that picture. You've got the guy with the Clemson Tigers logo and the gal he's with has the South Carolina Gamecocks logo. But the other gal has what looks like the North Carolina Tar Heels colors over an outline of the state of South Carolina. Huh? What does North Carolina have to do with a SEC silo schedule?

I don't get the picture either. The blue "C" is for The Citadel.

Maybe you're thinking of another conference? I don't see any mention of those other teams here.

SOU are affiliate members for football. They were in the Columbia Conference when CWU was there and the same division when CWU tied for the NAIA championship. I didn't realize that Humboldt State was also a member. SOU an EOU are the only state universities that haven't competed in Football in the GNAC and minus Humboldt State all the final Universities in it are currently in the GNAC although WWU no longer competes in football.

The private schools split off because the state schools started to dominate and it led to CWU, WWU, and WOU all joining D2 with no one nearby willing to play them. This all happened when I was a student at CWU.

When I was at CWU they were I think in the same conference. It was an ugly break up that sent SFU out of the NAIA and WWU, WOU, and CWU to D2 while EOU and SOU were the only state sponsored schools to stay NAIA.

I'm just going to wait until the first 2020 D2 football game is actually played and then I might believe.

I like the Frontier League, especially the Southern Oregon Raiders. The Ashland, Oregon area is very beautiful and if you add in college sports it's even better.

That logo is sweet.

This is good to see. The Frontier League has 3 teams that have moved to a spring schedule this year so it is good that they will have a chance at the championship.
