The schedule sucks but facing SC State twice along with one local possible OOC game would prepare us in a hurry for the playoffs assuming we win out.
We supposedly have a talented squad. If they want to play let them play. We're already playing Basketball. Outside of losing games I haven't seen a Covid concern mentioned yet since the start of the season........

I just dont want anything we do in the spring to have a negative impact on our plans for the fall season.

Not practicing in the spring would have a more negative impact than playing 4-6 games.

Not practicing in the spring would have a more negative impact than playing 4-6 games. Why would we not practice in Spring? If you had practice in the fall "fall ball", like we did, you can't have "spring ball". You have to either have a season in the spring or nothing at all. Essentially you can't have a practice session twice, either in the fall or the spring you need to play games. linkThe playing and practice season model for 2020-21 provides flexibility for practice time periods and permits up to eight regular-season games to occur during a period of not more than 13 weeks in the spring, with the last regular-season game occurring not later than April 17. The model ensures that legislative requirements mandating specific days/time off (for example, discretionary weeks) for student-athletes during a traditional season will apply in a comparable manner to a spring season. The intent of the model is to allow maximum flexibility for conferences and schools, with an overarching goal of returning to the normal calendar for the 2021-22 academic year. Beginning Sept. 21, teams may conduct on-field practice. From Sept. 21 through Dec. 31, during the fall equivalent of spring practice (“fall ball”), schools are limited to 20 hours per week of countable athletics activity. Schools may start their preseason or regular season during this period, in which case the rules for preseason or regular season activity apply. Outside of fall ball and regular season practice, schools are limited to 12 hours per week of countable athletics related activity and must give student-athletes two days off per week. For the two weeks before the start of preseason, teams may have noncontact practice activities for up to 20 hours per week. The 20 hours can include up to eight hours for weight training, conditioning and film review (two hours maximum on film review), up to one hour per day for walkthroughs and up to one hour per day for meetings, which may include team meetings, position meetings, one-on-one meetings, etc. Two days off are required. In 2020-21, schools can have “fall ball” or “spring practice” but not both. Schools conducting fall ball can’t have preseason practice (including any of the activities that are permitted in the two weeks before preseason practice) or competition before Jan. 1. Schools conducting fall ball during fall 2020 must follow the spring practice model (for example, 15 on-field practices within 34 consecutive days).

Did anyone else notice that on both occasions where we play SC State, they have a game scheduled the week prior but we do not (yet)? And is it a coincidence that we're the only conference game scheduled on those two dates?

A&T is still the Hot Name. The youth are looking at HBCU's. Jackson St or no Jackson State. We need to make a Run! This is our first chance, in a long time, to shoot for a National Title. We are ready to kick some booty Fam! We have been taking on FBS schools, in preparation. Put the ball down and let some guys get looked at by the NFL!. Idk if and how a Combine will shake out ect.
I just want to keep hearing the news on our QB Competition. Did we finally see our long ball game vs Alcorn with a 'something to prove" Carter?
Man, they just need to stay safe, healthy, eligible, and let Coach Sam take them there. Put the Ball Down!

Now we're screwed if the MEAC decides no Spring football. Since the previous schedule had travels to Florida, why not go to a six game MEAC schedule, each school plays every team one? Then there's no need for a title game.

Even if we only schedule two nonconference games, in my opinion, it's still worth it to play the games.
