I think we're only going to play the conference schedule. I've thought maybe only athletes return to campus full time with still online classes but will allow them to play and practice (no fans) but don't see that happening.

There is a large % of students who are looking to defer a year if fall is online (not just Marist)

Akron's president said they're going to cut some of their teams, but didn't yet say which. Announcement will be tomorrow. Akron has the largest athletic department in the MAC with 20 sports (FBS minimum is 16). I imagine they will drop some combination of teams to get down to 16. Their volleyball head coach is former Marist head coach Tom Hanna, btw.

Pine Manor College (Brookline, Mass.) to be merged into Boston College as the Pine Manor Institute for Student Success.
PMC was an NCAA Division III independent with only about 300 students; they were likely going to face NCAA penalties including restricted membership due to failure to satisfy sports sponsorship minimums.

Bowling Green cuts baseball to get down to the Division I minimum required 6 men's sports. The MAC is having a rough week.

Gonna be interesting, and unfortunately not in a good way, to see how this trickles down to the MAAC especially if fall sports are compromised. Marist is one of the most financially stable colleges in the MAAC and they lost 7 figures refunding the portion of room and board not used after spring break. It would not surprise me if 1 or 2 maac schools shuttered in the next year or few years if things don't get better.

just in today...this is becoming a bloodletting, there will be more as the days and weeks go on. It's just sad.
Chicago State cuts baseball **see below**
Furman cuts baseball and men's lacrosse

so Chicago State's BoT did not actually vote to cut baseball in their meeting (which was ZoomBombed by hordes of angry baseball players and alumni!), possibly because it only very belatedly came to their attention that they CAN'T drop baseball and stay in Division I.
You must have a minimum of 2 "team sports" per gender not counting football, which CSU doesn't have anyway. Cutting baseball would have left CSU with only basketball and that would be cause for the NCAA to remove them from Division I. They will re-convene next month. Kinda funny stuff.

Very hard for me to see how fall sports proceed, especially ones that involve a lot of travel like football. The drumroll of schools maintaining online education for the fall is only going to increase and once schools in the northeast start doing it, I imagine Marist/the MAAC will go that route as well. I think some of the smaller schools are going to try to hold out as long as they can though because that lack of financial income could make them go under entirely. If this is true, freshman should just take a year off. Online college is not college life.

Why just freshman? It would be all classes - and I can not imagine what happens to the 2021 seniors - schools just wouldn't have room to enroll them.

If this is true, freshman should just take a year off. Online college is not college life. I don't necessarily disagree. But Ithaca just announced they are starting their fall semester on October 5th and that is a college very similar to Marist. I wonder if Marist could go that same route. If no students report until October, that will mean shortened sports seasons for everyone, or maybe they would only have athletes on campus "socially distant" for that first month. The move in days according to the marist site are aug 28-30. Sports teams, the band, and some other kids are all on campus in the weeks leading up to that point. So they will have to make a decision on that I would imagine by the end of June at latest.
