Not sure coastal was completely selfish. They have better shot at finishing ahead of cincy or tulsa than we did. So that would unselfishly give all sunbelt members a higher payout than us whooping them and cincy still going to ny 6 would have

To hell with the payout, the primary goal has always been to win the Conference Championship. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake! Chances were if Tulsa beat Cincinnati, the UL/Coastal winner would more than likely get the NY6 Bowl game! Frick Coastal!!!

Cincy has a legit argument for top 4 with a win

History does not remember the money.

ESPN announcer at AAC game said if Bama and Cincy both win tonight, expect the rankings to be:
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. ND
5. TA&M
6. Cincinnati

Cincinnati couldn’t accept the NY6 game is they didn’t win the AAC. A Cajuns win would guarantee us the NY6 slot.

Thanks. Didnt think theyd win the argument. Thought one of the prognosticators had them in?

But did they? There are countless schools that have dealt with multiple positive tests (not just one, as with Coastal) and they were able to play the games. How? These programs (including ours) properly executed the "distancing protocols" and therefore were not subject to losing large swaths of players due to the contact tracing mandate. If it is in fact true that these players (all of the D-Lineman on the roster) should properly be declared ineligible to play due to contact tracing (player contact with the D-line coach that tested positive on Thursday after a negative test Wednesday), this is the fault of the Coastal Carolina football program for failure to execute the proper procedures and constraints.

Do I think that the contact tracing mandate was violated with all of their D-Lineman? My "guess" is that they did not violate this mandate and that they simply do not want this game for a plethora of reasons (including Chadwell's contract tracing ... pun intended). And in a day and age when the public is hypersensitive about Covid, the Coastal program is not going to be held to account (and asked the hard questions) for making the decision that they did. There are people out there that simply want the economy and all activity to cease ... and this plays right into all of it.

Thus, if the contact tracing mandate was legitimately violated, then this is the fault and responsibility of the Coastal football program. As such, Coastal Carolina is to blame regardless of what you believe happened.

Another opinion of mine ... if the Sun Belt had the championship game rules instituted by the Pac-12 (meaning App State would be playing the Cajuns in the title game if Coastal was unavailable to play), I have no doubt that we would be playing this game against Coastal Carolina this afternoon.

Brian,

When I read your posts, I wish you lived over here. I would really like to have a beer with you from time to time.

BTW, we need to remember what the NFL did when a team was sloppy with their precautions:

NFL Forces Broncos to Play Without QB Against Saints

And if you are Cuckold Carolina today- after Tulsa lost (which by the way was FULLY expected)- you might be regretting the “Cancel the UL game “in case” Tulsa wins so we get to a NY6 Bowl” decision.
Now that Cincy Won, Crusted University of Carolina of Kon-men realize they COULD HAVE Benefitted from a CCG
against UL
