Did the Army/Navy exemption go beyond football? Yes. Both of them are playing abbreviated schedules in soccer and cross country, both men and women. The people who run those institutions have shown a lot more brains and a lot more intestinal fortitude on this issue than the other patriot league presidents have. That assumes that all of the reports are accurate. When it comes to playing out of conference basketball games, there is no reason not to let each school decide for itself - especially given that there will be virtually no students or staff on campus during that entire period. It is easy to develop an abbreviated schedule against local teams and then cancel later if there are Covid issues. That is what 31 D1 leagues are doing. By the way, Bucknell has now gone 19 consecutive days with no positive Covid tests. They continue to test extensively. I am sure that streak won’t last forever, but hopefully they can continue to limit the number. Colgate, Boston U, Army, and Navy also have very low rates.
