2020 The Game that Wasn't

[fanof71]

I would expect a few "high-hard" ones being thrown this season against Covid Coastal...

They key here is "entire position group". I do not believe we had an entire position group out. And it was nowhere near 11 players for the Coastal Carolina game.

So, my question still remains. In such a situation where an entire position group is out, does the affected program have a choice to play the game? Or is it a conference rule that the game is automatically canceled with no recourse.

Even when head coaches (such as Saban) tested positive, there were not entire position groups "out" due to contact tracing. How are entire position groups always not "out" due to contact tracing every time any coach tests positive or any player within a position group tests positive and there are position group meetings or practices with that player or coach being present? By this reasoning (Coastal's reasoning for canceling), every college football game this year should have been cancelled where any one coach or one player tested positive, as long as those persons had attended a practice or position group meeting.

In 2005 the SBC pre-emptively denied Louisiana a conference championship.

In 2020 a pre-emptive decision by the SBC has denied Louisiana a conference championship.

After the news of the Sun Belt Conference Championship game being canceled, Louisiana football coach Billy Napier asked for it to be rescheduled.

Good luck with that. The fix is in!

We need out of this dumpster of a conference ASAP.

I don't know if it is possible but this is a real basis to pull out of the SBC.

Complete BS! It’s an important game. Reschedule!

It's time to pull the plug on this BS conference.

They have NEVER tried to help us or just do what is right by us. Put our non-FB sports in the SLC or the new WAC and go Indy in FB until better options are available.

they yalla... plain and simple.

New name for the Chicken's.........."COVID Carolina"!!!!

If anyone doesn't think Coastal lobbied for this SBC stance BEFORE the cancellation ... Surprise.
