I agree. These mid-majors are really stuck right now.

Given the cancellation of most non-conference games, the MAC schools have lost all their BUY games (WMU / ND excluded). I know Kent State was relying on buy games from Alabama, Penn State, and Kentucky. These payouts and the mandatory student fees (charging every student a fee to subsidize the athletics department) are just as important to their budgets as their paltry TV deals.

Now, with no BUY games and reduced student fees (because the enrollment numbers at most of these commuter schools are presumably reduced), the schools are probably better off financially if they cancel than if they just have a conference slate.

That doesn't even get into the fact that the Akrons of the world can't afford to keep testing their student-athletes.

the buy games can come back.

The problem is that major college football teams are worried that they will lose their best players as they won't want to play before the NFL draft. Of course, the NFL could help with that by pushing their draft back to June, but they're assholes and don't want to mess with their schedule to help their unpaid minor league system.

a year is a fucking joke. What exactly has he been doing the past five months?

and coming off as a total selfish asshole.
