Saturday's Central Arkansas at Arkansas State game PPD to October 10. A-State didn't have enough available bodies at a specific but unnamed position group (I would guess OL).

West Texas A&M, Angelo State, Colorado Mesa, Chadron State, Black Hills State and South Dakota Mines are calling to have a waiver to play D1 football this fall. They are the only D2 teams playing that could fill schedules.

It is a joke.

IIRC that's a $400k payday lost for Charlotte.

I think it was $500k. Anyway, it looks like the game was cancelled over a false positive, which sucks. Player who tested positive on Monday tested negative Wednesday. None of 3 players who tested positive over last two weeks showed symptoms.

You could still have the virus, but not show the system. But, a third test could come up positive again.

If it was PCR, the likelihood of it being false is rather low. More likely the second was a false negative.

Charlotte needs to keep more of those linemen healthy.

Who cares.

A lot of Tar Heels care.
one-you care for the quarantined players on Charlotte's team

two-you care for not being able to see your team play which offers some normalcy to life

three-you care for all of the football players that have prepared to play, only to have the game snatched away from them at the last

Wait. Did NC play UCF. No. Who cares.

Florida Atlantic at Georgia Southern is off - COVID related issues for FAU.

They have no mutual off day but could play 12/5 if the CUSA title game gets switched to a later week (looking likely, tbh) or if FAU doesn't win the East but wants to play that last game.

UH v. Baylor postponed

At least if he's already in Texas, Gus Johnson will get to eat at Luby's....before it shuts down.

* In 2013, when Gus called a game between Baylor and Texas Tech, he gushed about Luby's Cafeteria. He said he wished he could find one in New York City. The Luby's chain is now being liquidated, and may or may not continue.

But, as impressive as it was for Baylor and UH to schedule a game on a week's notice, Covid took it away from us.

Baylor had too many positives at certain positions.

Houston may win the national championship for most opponents cancelling on them. Rice, Baylor, didn't Memphis?

Washington St., Rice, Memphis, and now Baylor in that order. Four postponements in the first three weeks of a season has to be a record. lol

And yah I understand why they had too. Just a shame because Baylor is a team that actually moves the needle with out fan base. Happy that they at least plan to honor additional home and home agreement.

SWC at 11 am. They should bring back Raycom to televise it.

Raycom is still subcontracting a few games for Sinclair RSNs. I'm sure they'd be willing to take on one more job.

Raycom has not existed for almost two years. They were bought out by Gray Media of Atlanta. I know because I worked for Raycom for almost 10 years and found myself without a job as did many others at Raycom.
