Take this with a heavy dose of salt as there’s no guarantee there will be a 2020-2021 season.

Since our site launched we’ve had a pretty rigid policy of keeping away from political topics and posts. Doing so at a time like now would make us complicit.

We’re not at all in touch with the situation, but assumption would be the donors who earned the program a one year reprieve wanted the program to have new leadership.

A few notes from Lucia’s presser:
- League is fine playing with seven teams, but will be open to a geographical fit who are committed to the sport.
- Wants the league to be top-driven with committed programs leading. (Thread)

Your gentle reminder to please practice social distancing, proper hand washing, and to wear face coverings.
If cases continue to trend this way college sports probably won’t happen in 2020-2021.

$2.2m is a very large chunk of BG’s athletics’ budget. Without having the numbers in front me I think that would account for around 10% of their yearly revenue.
If the Big Ten plays in the fall, that means Bowling Green does not play scheduled games against Ohio State and Illinois. Those are $1.2 mil and $1 mil guarantees, respectively. twitter.com/KyleRowland/st…

Apologies for bringing the news late. Drew’s been under the weather this week.
- St. Thomas’ bid to jump to division one has been approved. A likely landing spot would be the CCHA.
- The MAC has delayed the start of fall sports to (at least) September 3rd.

- Players will be warned before being kicked out of face-offs. Two face-off violations during the same drop will result in bench minor for the offending team.

This is probably the best chance for a season this year. Will be interesting to see how the western leagues handle this with some road trips requiring flights.
1/ Hearing that @hockey_east will announce tomorrow its intention to play its league season with all 11 members. Unlikely any team will begin play before mid-late Nov. and there may be as many as 30 league games. Focus will be on completing the league season above all else.

This will give the CCHA the ability to have a balanced 28 game league schedule.
Unfortunately this also means UAH’s options for a league home for 2021-2022 are running out.
