      If all the other school and conferences were having the same issues, I could agree. Looking at the numbers though, the AAC is doing marketably worse than the rest.

      Why is that Arseco? How can SMU have so many pauses, yet get in as many games as WSU? Why and so many programs having issues in your conference? How come your conference is doing a worse job at getting games rescheduled?
      Yeah, looking back in hindsight they should have been more aggressive earlier in moving games around to make up for postponements. Also, maybe they should have forced teams to play as long as they had at least 8 guys instead of giving them the option.

      • Wow - AAC is dead last in Taylor's article. 73% of conference games played??????? WTH????

        Oh and look at how all the big money conferences faired. Pretty telling. How is it that all the P-5 conferences plus the Big East did so much better???
        Another money grab for postseason bids and the pecking order exposed once again. I'm trying so hard not to be negative but I will be 100% shocked if the selection committee allows more than 1 team in from the AAC.

          I don’t know what the A-10 or Mountain West numbers look like but I believe I read that the MVC played 100% of their games.

          If anything was exposed, in my opinion, it’s that the American didn’t try hard enough to get games rescheduled.

              Agreed the AAC did a piss-poor job handling games missed...but damn...when you look at the Top-7 conferences that all get multiple bids every year...the AAC's #7 rating as 7th best conference in America correlates to 7th worst missed covid games???? Something fishy. Okay...I'll take off my tin foil hat now. ;)

                Not officially but it has been indicated.

                  Pretty much. Maybe our guys will get a senior night after all.

                  • Cancelling games because of a single positive was absolutely the wrong way to go. If 8+ scholarship players were available, games should have continued. Testing and quarantining could have easily got most, if not all, games played this season.

                        • It's a Q4 game ... But it's a game to keep some momentum going.

                          That said a loss in either of the two games remaining would kill the AAC title hopes and our tourney hopes.

                              Kinda .. but only playing 1 game in 3 weeks going into the AAC tourney would be worse. If we can't beat USF at home .. we would have gotten slaughtered in our first tourney game.

                                Doesn't USF still have a couple of guys out due to injury?
