Financially, it makes sense.

I agree, WSSURAM! It just doesn't make sense to go through all the effort and costs if fans aren't allowed. Use this year to fundraise and save to hopefully pad athletic budgets moving forward.

Doesn't make any sense. Lincoln is playing. Now if Lincoln is playing, it's more than about COVID safety. Pure over-reaction by the conference. At least plan for a short season starting in March.

Why should a conference of schools with pre-pandemic financial challenges play in empty gyms and incur more expenses while generating no revenue? And COVID is also a big factor. When it comes to health and safety such as this type of virus, we as African Americans have always been more cautious.
