Most D2 schools just don't have the funds to travel up there once or twice a year. My prediction is GV will go D1 and Ferris will go independent. The rest of the Gliac will find another conference and the two UP schools get bumped to D3. Especially with the best D3 conference in the country around 5-6 hours away. I would say they could join the Minnesota conference but I doubt they would get accepted.

I'm super disappointed that it appears GV's opener will be against an incredible Pueblo team instead of having this game against Edinboro. Pueblo is going to have a game under their belt, and GV is gonna be going in to it cold. I don't like that, at all.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

Hey GV Folks, please get off your high horse. The "everyone is afraid to play us" angle is not only egoistical but not very accurate. You're seriously making that statement because you have no takers to play you on 3 days notice? There is much more to a pulling off a game than just the football aspect. You keep referring to yourself as a National Power and yet what have you done in the last decade to warrant that title? Yes, it absolutely sucks for the student-athletes who have been patiently waiting to get back on the field but don't turn this situation into another opportunity for GV to puff their chest and declare yourself a National Power even before the season starts. Then in the same breath, KleShreen is setting the table for a possible loss to Pueblo. If you're as good as you always like to think you are, why be worried at all?

As for this game, no...we aren't expecting anyone to just "drop everything on three days notice". For starters, it wasn't three days...we've been working on this for three days already, and we have told teams we will gladly play them on Saturday. Secondly, we have offered to play people AT THEIR PLACE...some of whom already had home games scheduled, so they should have been more than prepped from a Game Day Op's perspective. I stand by what I posted earlier: I would think just the competitive nature of football programs would want to make that happen. Last, we don't have any advantage...we have the same short schedule to prepare...and again, we have been offering to travel if it made it better for them. No takers.
Yep, we're disappointed and we absolutely want a game wherever we can get one. Other teams in this same situation, by their actions, are showing that they don't. I don't get it, but many of us are out here pitching that alone...not the narrative that "everyone is afraid to play us". Frankly, given that we don't even have The Shoes at the moment, no one should fear us at all...

Well, since I'm a half full kind of guy (watch it fans.) At least our SOS will improve without this game! Yeah, I know, we'll have less games, but yeah. As for Eboro, yes, from what I've seen, they BACKED out. They chose NOT to play the game. True not all of their guys were able to have full practice, but they could have fielded more than enough players. On to Colorado!

Edinboro was not allowed to mandate the vaccine and unfortunately there was a covid issue with the team. There was at least positive case with many ordered to quarantine for an extended period of time due to not being vaccinated. I saw a since-deleted post online that had 1 positive case with 44 ordered into quarantine. When they asked to move the game its my understanding they were hoping to get permission for some kids to be released from quarantine but were ultimately unsuccessful. I'm not making excuses - but they definitely didn't chicken out. They also lost a decent guarantee that means a big deal to a program with about 12 schollies.
