Obviously the Big South hates its student athletes and is willing to put money over protecting human lives.
I am so glad we are not in that conference.
Oh wait ....

I think the MEAC should have delayed til October you may have to cancel at that time but as I said earlier the COVID saliva test may be a game changer as its quick and less cost. Its July and things are very fluid things may or may not change for the better or the worse by Oct

Don't worry. We'll probably see all of our seniors playing at other schools this Fall. And we might have to lay off a third of our athletic department.
But at least we can say we care more about our kids than the Big South does.

Play the seven games in the Spring with fans in the stands. Win the MEAC and play in the Celebration Bowl. |

It's going to be interesting to see how this will affect Hampton. |
