Did we cover DIII SAC already? They've suspended fall sports.

I did somewhere else but I don't think so on this thread. Better to do it twice than not at all. The CAA did for football this morning, and Towson for all fall sports.

The Collegiate Sprint Football League is calling things off for the fall- except that Army & Navy might play each other. I heard about this back in the 1960s- it used to be much more popular, especially in the Northeast. There is a 178 pound limit for players.

If you are interested in Sprint Football, here is some history behind it.

My understanding is that the weight restriction is the only "rule" difference between sprint football and traditional football - is that so?

I've always wanted to check it out regardless, it sounds interesting.

Just wanted to share some live sports highlights from over the weekend. My favorite pro rugby team in New Zealand (the Highlanders) were getting their collective butt kicked by the Chiefs 24-0. And then they woke up!

I follow Sprint football because Alderson Broaddus has a team. The Battlers first season was just last year. Too bad they'll have to wait another year to have their second season. It's a faster game because the linemen aren't overweight and slow, so play off the line of scimmage moves quicker. I watched AB play @ Penn on ESPN+ last season. The Battlers lost that game but it was nice to see them get some national exposure.

The last time Sprint Football was cancelled was 1943-45, in which Army and Navy won a different kind of Championship.

We all know that football comes with risk of injury, but a virus that is as easily transmitted as this one changes the rules of everyday life, no matter the sport...

So we can never, ever, ever have football again since every year some kid is seriously hurt or dies. The odds are against a kid dying playing football, but can you imagine the PR nightmare if it happens?
