That's too bad, I was looking forward to the debut of the UC San Diego Tritons in the Big West. I live about 8 miles from their campus. And Cal State Bakersfield (home of the Roadrunners) just joined that conference too.

RMAC will start practices on Aug. 24. So the Conference Presidents gave themselves until then to make a final decision. The Miami Marlins just had 12 players test positive! Makes ya wonder if even a RMAC conference only schedule helps.

It's now up to 17 positive tests with the Marlins players and coaches.

You mentioning College Gameday brings up a question for me. If no fans are allowed at College Gameday would that count as the end of the streak for Ol' Crimson flying on it?

They could just have Pat McAfee wear a cutoff sweatshirt. We'll count it.

Maybe this is the opportunity to get the Mustang flag on TV... hmm...

No- someone could just put it on a pole beforehand. Gameday should make sure that happens. Maybe even just a mini-flag in front of Lee Corso.
