    The MAC is the first FBS conference to decide not to play. They lost a lot of guarantee money when the Big Ten eliminated non-conference games.

    Men's soccer edges closer to no Tournament.

    The Big Ten is reportedly contemplating following the MAC and cancelling its football season. The Pac-12 followed the Big Ten when the latter chose to dump its non-conference games, and it could follow again. This morning's MAC announcement could be the domino that ends football, and any other fall sports still hanging on.

    I believe the count of schools that have opted out is 96. There are 207 Division I schools that play men's soccer. You need 50% of the schools opting in to have a championship. Just eight more schools opting out will end it.

    I'd say that's a sure thing. One conference and boom!

    They are starting to focus on long-term physical issues in otherwise asymptomatic people. The B1G has "paused progress" in practices, meaning no moving to pads:

    Here's an article from SI about problems with myocarditis:

    It looks like the Power 5 are about to either cancel fall sports or postpone them to the spring. :(

    12 of 14 B1G Presidents voted against fall sports. This is what Dan Patrick reports:

    "Here's the information I got almost an hour ago," Patrick said. "The Big Ten and Pac 12 will cancel their football seasons tomorrow. The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence. The SEC is trying to get a delay to have teams join them."

    The source told Patrick: "Three Big Ten teams that I've spoken with said it's done." The source said the SEC is "trying to buy time" to see if schools from the ACC or Big 12 will join them in pursuit of playing this fall."

    The obvious question is "who voted for fall sports?"

    ODU is in CUSA, though. They are still playing, right?

    With Mountain West canceling fall sports, I would imagine that takes out the three men's soccer teams Air Force, UNLV, and San Diego State that play in the WAC and Pac-12.

    I'd assume.

    We don't know what affiliates are doing but I can't imagine Howard (MEAC/Sun Belt) or the three MW schools you mentioned having soccer but no other sports.

    So you can shelve those schools, too.

    ODU is Conference USA in all sports.

    Yes, but prior to today it was left up to the individual schools and some schools Elon, Charleston, UNCW had mentioned an intent to play. As of today, all of the schools canceled fall sports.

    Those other schools are in the Colonial Athletic Association, not Conference USA.

    I know. I was saying in addition to ODU of Conference USA being out, the entire Colonial has opted out as individual schools made their announcements yesterday. Prior to that, it was left up the schools individually and Elon, UNCW, C of C were thinking of playing.

    And the PAC-12 is out.

    That's gotta put us close to that Half The Programs threshold.

    The only SEC schools that play men's soccer are Kentucky and South Carolina. The only Big 12 school that plays it is West Virginia and it plays soccer in a conference that's already punted.

    So for men's soccer, the big remaining conferences are the ACC and the Big East. I think those dominoes fill fall this week but I also think they'll really try and work something out.
