Will any teams still play?

Doubtful they play now. What do they play for? Conference championship? NM schools are not playing.

Only reason I think teams might play would be a shortened, less than 50% of games, that way players don't lose eligibility. And still could get some game experience for some younger players.

Injuries comes to mind with a shortened season, and for what? Game experience for younger players. Doubtful.

I wonder how many schools will drop Football all together?

WT has announced:

While the NCAA decision is disappointing, it was not unexpected. We are working diligently on regular-season scheduling and other championship playing opportunities for our fall sports.
The LSC Presidents Council will meet again Friday.

Maybe LSC play only??

This is exactly what some students will do. Specifically seniors.

Any schools who play will do so because their big $ booster(s) are demanding it or for other financial reasons. It WOULD NOT be for the STUDENT ATHLETE. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN.

Remember the risk/reward factor? In this case the risks far outweigh the rewards. In my opinion, only greedy, small minded people would subject the STUDENT ATHLETE to this.

Commerce has wiped the fall 2020 schedules for all sports from the website. Not looking good.

Since sports are cancelled, that means the kids have eliminated their risk of COVID. They are all moving to monasteries until this all blows over in 30 years.

Angelo State made a similar announcement

Actually, the football schedule says:

Schedule To Be Announced at a later date

[Brandon]

I could see kids dropping to 10-11 credits and work if football gets canceled and then potentially re enroll full time in the Spring or fall 2021.

Those are exactly my thoughts.

[JavsFan]

Those are exactly my thoughts.

Wouldn't they also have to forego athletic scholarship $$$ ?
