MWC to go 8 conf and 2 non conf games

So which game to wew cut? Weber ST?
Good questions, or does it also open up the other way for lawsuits against the SEC, big ten, and pac-12 conferences? If the Mountain West and other conferences like the AAC and CUSA play non-conference games and show it was possible could they sue the p5 conferences for the losses of those contracts? Since the presidents of those p5 schools still got a vote in those conference decisions to go conference only, it wasn't totally out of each of those individual schools hands for canceling the games like they try to claim when they got a vote on it.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 2:26 pm Any legal experts on here? I'm wondering about these announcements of scheduling format.
If a conference goes conference only, then I'm guessing that absolves a University from being held to the contracted OOC game (buyout) because the decision is beyond control of the University as a result of an Act of God.
However, if a school is allowed 2 OOC games and cancel 2 others (just for example), is the school financially responsible for the buyouts associated with the 2 cancelled games?
It seems the conference and OOC hybrid model muddies the water in relation to any contract cancelled.
I just hope the MWC teams choose to cancel the byu games
Good point. They technically voted to stop the OOC season. The only thing I could find about contract verbiage is between TAMU and UNT:WyomingAgJ wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 2:58 pmGood questions, or does it also open up the other way for lawsuits against the SEC, big ten, and pac-12 conferences?

Provided we even HAVE a season!!!!!WyomingAgJ wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 7:08 pm Officially announced as eight conference games and two non-conference games, but with the season not starting till September 26th. I think that wipes out all of our currently scheduled non-conference games. Do we try to move two of them to later this season, schedule two other teams, or not play the non-conference portion at all?
So much for getting some better TV spots. Mountain West could have probably gotten some better coverage with so many other leagues pushed to the end of September, but that won't happen now as mountain West games will now still be competing against all the other leagues that are starting at the same time
Remember a country rock singer from the 1990s named Joe Diffie? He died from COVID-19 when this whole mess got started.laxwyo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:13 pm Any rationale to postponing until end of September? Of course any change other than trying to minimize fan exposure is stupid.
Can someone name one pro athlete, college athlete or celebrity that tested positive and was hospitalized? If not, we might as well be arguing about a cold.
I agree on the college football season not happening.bladerunnr wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 10:09 pm Just a delay tactic to try and salvage the season. I very much doubt any games will be played this year. Those who think a vaccine will be the answer should remember that the flu vaccine does not prevent widespread flu contagion. After basketball and all spring sports are cancelled, it will be deja vu all over again regarding the 2021 football season.
Here in Colorado, all fall high school sports have been cancelled. Football has been moved to next spring. The football teams will be practicing in February during the height of flu season. Yeah, that's gonna happen.
Von Miller said it really sucked and people should take it serious.. and he's one of the best athletes in all of pro sports right now.laxwyo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:13 pm Any rationale to postponing until end of September?

Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez had to sit out because of the heart thing COVID causes in some people. I think he's like 27 or something.laxwyo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:13 pm Any rationale to postponing until end of September?

I would bet so too, but I would think they'll leave the eight games that everyone already has scheduled for conference play at least the same both in terms of home and away and not changing the cross division opponents that are scheduled. But I bet the dates of games will move around.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 12:44 pm Back to topic:
I'm assuming we redo the entire MWC schedule. If so, do you think there is a chance that all OOC games must occur early season and games like byu-bsu are forced to cancel? I really hope so but doubt it because of the AF vs Army and Navy.
Not just byu hate, but it makes the most sense. Reserve the latter part of the season for byes and such for flexibility in scheduling.
Either way, I'm guessing the whole conference schedule gets reworked. Thoughts?
I like the way you think!
So, just like the flu. The flue sucks pretty bad and last time I had it was 3 days in bed.MrTitleist wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 9:44 amVon Miller said it really sucked and people should take it serious.. and he's one of the best athletes in all of pro sports right now.laxwyo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:13 pm Any rationale to postponing until end of September?
