The ACC released their plus 1 games and Liberty kept all 3 ACC games on their schedule. So with 10 games will on the calendar, they are unlikely to need to play BYU. Good news for those who didn't want that game.

Still waiting on schedule announcements--probably doing their best to get a Big 12 game if possible so it isn't a full slate of G5 this season.

Reporters can push for BYU, and fans can push for BYU; but until an influential decision maker pushes for BYU, it ain't happening.

At this point, BYU should schedule only 4 games so that everyone who wants to, can red-shirt this year and retain their current level of eligibility.

Chatter is building for BYU to Big12 for this year. I heard their fan boards are talking about it and support it. Networks will not pay as much for a 10 game season and do not want crappy games. I think this just might happen.

It is possible that we play 10 Big12 games and then add one or two more at the end to get to 12. We are not a member of that conference and so do not have to stop at 10. We just can't do it up front due to maybe getting sick before Big12 games.

No Missouri and no possible match up with Alabama. This was definitely sucky news. I don't think the Big 12 will come to BYU's rescue. A home and home with Massachusetts isn't so bad, though.

SEC goes to conference only season so we lose the Missouri game. Big12 is meeting this afternoon to see what they will do.

BYU better hurry up and get some September games scheduled, because October games won't be getting played this Fall.

If pro baseball, with all of its $$ and resources, with paid players who can self-isolate can't make it work, how is NCAA football going to keep its nose clean when a core aspect of your model is the fact that your players have to go to classes and interact pretty much daily with dozens if not hundreds of strangers on campus?

I don't think sports is sustainable more than a month or so without a "bubble", and even less sustainable with the NCAA student-as-an-amateur model.
