    This team wasn't playing so I don't believe his contraction had anything to do with football.

    How do we know he didn't have an underlying health condition? Even if he didn't, nobody has intelligently said young, healthy people CAN'T get critically ill form the virus. It's just extremely rare.

    Central Catholic, Stephens' high school in Pittsburgh, initially believed he died from COVID-19 complications, though it stated Wednesday it "mistakenly attributed his death without official confirmation on cause," per Brad Everett of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

    Super random question, sorry for the thread drift. But are privacy rights waived post-mortem? If he was alive they wouldn’t be allowed to identify him?

    So, B1G is back. Will the Valley revisit the insane Spring idea?

    How many players normally share a hotel room on road trips? There was something on College Gameday about one school that only had one player per room and another was two per room. Just the added costs for hotel rooms might be enough to convince many FCS teams not to play this fall.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Plus the amount of buses that are being used to transport players has doubled. Duke used 6 when they went to Notre Dame, normally would have been 3. One team said they used 9. I know most teams that come to Fargo use two or three.

    Cripes.

    Drop traveling rosters to 30 players. I don't give a crap.

    The idea you can have multiple men in a room on trips, but have ZERO control 80% of the rest of the week is bogus.

    Playoffs are going to be in the spring, there isn't really anything to revisit. The Big 10 is operating in a completely different landscape, the FBS didn't change its postseason.

    Really FCS schools are too damn poor and disinterested to make it happen anyway at this point, it is the reality of being where we are.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Why? And was the proposal ever approved? I've never seen confirmation, only the proposal for May 15 championship. There is still time for common sense like the B1G has shown.
