Kansas Crimson

I think enrollment may have been a factor too. Especially if the decision is being made by university presidents.

If there's no football, a lot of freshmen might stay at home and attend UW-Milwaukee for $7K rather than live on campus at UW-Madison for $25K.

I don't think it's about the players (as much as I'd like that). I think it's because it's becoming quite clear that the worst is yet to come for this part of the country. It's just taking a while to accept that.

Watching the rolling 7-day average, I’m hoping we finally hit our first peak 10 days ago. I’m just hoping now that schools go remote, because that’s the next crisis. I haven’t been following, but that’s the next key.

Most schools in Kansas City have, at a minimum, delayed openings until the day after Labor Day.

Which will work, in a fictional universe where people make good decisions from right now, until then.

New conference schedule.

Curious as to who they pick for non-con game.

Has to be the Salukis.

You'd think, but I think saw a report from national CFB guy (Don't remember who) who said that it likely won't be Salukis.

Hearing it will likely be Coastal

So stupid if they are going to make a team fly. It should be SIU so the team can drive.

nebraska wants to play anybody, they're in driving distance.

Matt Tait saying SIU still expected.

Not going to be SIU, but should have someone. No contract signed yet.

They are an independent in football. Just went Big East for remaining sports.

Weird, I completely missed that.

Regardless, Coastal Carolina it is
