Pitt Game Gone

[bbneutralfan]

ACC apparently announced the cancellation of non-conference games. There goes one big home game.

I wonder if we will get another game in the future or if all games canceled are just voided.

My guess is it depends on the contract but know how things usually happen with the admin we probably owe them for not showing up

I believe this will be the final decision but as of 30 minutes ago ACC commish John Swofford said a decision regarding football won’t be made until the end of July.

Saw that Greenduke. Fingers crossed.

Best MU can hope for when it comes to altering the schedule, shifting games around, playing a partial schedule, etc., would be the total cancellation of the season for all schools and just shifting all schedules forward one year, paying the 2020 schedule in 2021, etc.

Hell with it, I'll stir the pot/kick the nest/poke the bear.

"Maybe WVU could get scheduled since they lost potentially 2 games"

 

[W-S HerdFan]

Why not? Short drive on 64/79. Would sellout to whatever capacity is permitted. Is the Pitt game date mutually open?

 

[Herdmeister]

I would assume that if a conference says that they will play conference games only that they mean that. I don't expect that teams within that conference could go ahead and decide to not follow the conference guidelines. The main reason for conference only games is so the conference can be as sure as possible that teams are abiding by social distancing etc guidelines and the ability to reschedule conference games. If teams were to go out on their own and schedule games then that would by void of happening

 

[bbneutralfan]

Wrong W-S no sellout either place - Social Distancing

 

[WV_Celt]

Well neither the Big 12 or CUSA have declared conference play only, as of yet.

Why not play 8 game conf schedule over the course of 12 weeks with no byes. Every game could be approximately 10 days apart, you can “quarantine” and monitor teams for about a week and then have 5 days to prepare.

There have been discussions of that happening
