I totally forgot about this rule and thanks for pointing it out. The governor recently has also made it more strict for Hampton Roads reducing size of gatherings to only 50 people as of July 31. Does that effectively prevent even the teams from playing with empty stands?

As soon as UVA and VT complain he will exempt college football games. At least for P5 because they they are clearly less risky that those pesky G5s.

Or he could just ban gatherings in Hampton Roads. Blacksburg, Charlottesville, even Harrisonburg... no problem. That’s usually how things work in the state government.

Yes, it does. And anyone who thinks the governor is going to make an exception for the ACC, CUSA, CAA, MEAC, or Big South (plus any other conference in the Commonwealth I missed) is fooling themselves. Dollars to donuts.

Are You Ready For Some Football?
A group of PAC 12 players are organizing to opt out of playing this season.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...ice-safety

There are at least 3 PAC 12 schools that are online only this fall and others that have hybrid plans. At those same schools the football players will be required to return to campus. I'm sure there are players in other leagues that are individually planning to opt out but this appears to be an organized effort.

What are you talking about? Protocol for what? If you are referring to your "mindless Protocol" stated above as to the sequence of events that determines the policies of CUSA, then you are also referring to every Conference, both G5 and P5. They all do it almost exactly the same way. 01-wingedeagle

If you are addressing the recent executive mandate (although by definition not a protocol) by the Governor of Virginia
Quote:gatherings of more than 50 people will be prohibited.
then yes, I would say that effectively eliminates a football game in the Hampton Roads area, as of the time of this writing.
However, that proscription could be amended or rescinded at any time, for any number of reasons or no reason at all, at the the pleasure of the Governor.

As to how it would affect a given conference, (CUSA, NJAC, MEC, Big South, MEAC, and the CAA if Williamburg is included, are basically the ones represented in Hampton Roads) that is actually pretty simple.
If the mandate still exists at or close to the time of a scheduled game, that contest would either be cancelled, postponed, moved to another location.

With no fans, and therefore few support staff, no vendors, limited security etc, the logistics of a move, even a last minute one, would be fairly easy if another venue is available. Really any field would do, even say Currituck High School for example; goal post width and hash mark spacing notwithstanding.

In the instance of a school being online only, I think the players who are boycotting have a better argument. They are students first. If it’s too dangerous for everyone else, it’s too dangerous for players also.

How many are we talking about here? How large is this opt out group? Pretty big factor excluded from the reporting that would be telling of the impact. Are we talking about a few players or half the team? I may be wrong, but I find it hard to believe a significant number of D1 athletes would sacrifice their season over politics. Guessing this is ESPN stirring the pot considering the facts that are being excluded.

Well, Hampton, the MEAC and the CIAA have already said they're not playing fall sports but I'm sure The Spin Room will LOL and LMAO to their hearts' content on that one.
