In response to Bison137
PL just issued some rules on fall sports that are a bit unclear. One thing that is clear is that football will only start practice 20 days before the game at Army - as opposed to the normal 29 days. Also almost every practice will take place after school starts - meaning shorter practices. Also team apparently will have to bus to Army on the morning of the opening game. Coupled with the cancellation of all spring practices and the loss of summer conditioning/lifting programs, Army might well be a 100-point favorite. Hopefully that game gets cancelled.
The PL rules:
1 Patriot League competition will begin at the end of September, with the expectation that League play will be completed prior to Thanksgiving;
2 Non-League competition will not begin prior to Friday, Sept. 4;
3 Patriot League member institutions will confirm that non-League competitors are following comparable health and safety protocols in advance of any contest; and,
4 No Patriot League teams will fly to competitions and, with rare exceptions, regular-season competition will exclude overnight travel.
