With more college football cancellations, sport inches closer to total fall shutdown

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The NCAA's second-highest level of football won't crown a 2020 champion as more schools announced Friday they wouldn't take the gridiron this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Universities comprising the Missouri Valley Football Conference, Big Sky Conference and Pioneer Football League all said they won't play this fall, which effectively pulled the plug on postseason play for the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

As FCS teams and conferences pulled out of fall play in recent weeks, the NCAA announced that FCS playoffs would be cancelled if 50 percent of eligible teams pulled out. When the MVFC, Big Sky and Pioneer all opted out of autumn football, that minimum threshold was breached.

Before Friday, a host of other FCS leagues had called off fall football: the Ivy League, Patriot League, Colonial Athletic Association, Northeast Conference, Southwestern Athletic Conference and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

1. The mountain west conference is going to allow conference games.

The local university has been working out. It’s radio silence about who is getting sick.

2. Except the SEC

"Over my dead body" is the first phrase I think of when musing about SEC football this season.

4. The conference that is most at risk from exploding spread

I've spent many a lazy Saturday afternoon at one or another tail-gating events for SEC, but this is indefensible.

3. The MAC postponed to Spring this morning.

The first FBS conference to do so.
