Avoids a conflict with the Patriots game. Always a silver lining. The league office will participate in rescheduling talks. Shouldn't there be a "third man in" rule like in hockey?🤔
I hope everyone approaches this as the virus caused the scheduling adjustment, not Lehigh.

It seems likely that this sort of COVID postponement will continue to happen for the next 3 to 4 weeks. The league should already be stepping in to re-organize what a week of conference play looks like to fit three games in so the short gap remains consistent for teams. Currrently, it's mostly Wed-Sat with some Sunday mixed in. Wouldn't they be wise to begin to re-structure the week for Tues/Thurs/Sat-Sun for February?

Really can't afford to wait too long or getting games in could be a problem.

I saw complaints on this board about HC having three midweek flights (even though two were during break) |

Good point on academics, Bfoley. Both teams would be in practice (2.5 hours of athletic countable hours I am guessing) on those games nights so I guess it comes down to how much more time would it take for travel and is that an impact that would be problematic? I don't know how the admins at schools or the league would see it TBH. Any thoughts?

I like the Friday night/Sunday afternoon combo to knock off road trips to Lafayette/Lehigh, Colgate/Bucknell and two Capital area teams in one weekend. If you can fit a Monday holiday in, it could be Saturday afternoon/night and Monday afternoon to avoid any missed class time.

I checked the Power 5 and they mentioned that the athletic schedule comes before class time. LOL

There is no chance of a Tue/Thu/Sat schedule for more than possibly one week. Schools won't allow that much missed class time. |

The players won't drop dead if they play Saturday and Sunday and mid week once or twice to catch up, especially if both teams are in the same boat. I believe Ernie Banks commented on that concept.

BU, Colgate, and Army are all day trips for HC as in could leave at noon and be back in Worcester by midnight. |

BU, Colgate, and Army are all day trips for HC as in could leave at noon and be back in Worcester by midnight. A way to do that now is to reach agreement with Army and Colgate that both teams will skip the hotel for their away game and thus have a completely level playing court for this season while cutting down Covid exposure in the community at restaurants, hotels, etc. |

BU is an easy back and forth; West Point a bit harder; but the trip to and from Colgate is rough having done it with buddies for a football game in 1968 . . . . and we were just spectators. Having lived in the Syracuse area for years, Hamilton is pictured in the dictionary for the word "boondocks." I suppose young athletes wouldn't have that much of a problem riding on a bus but I'd bet a hotel stay would be preferable.

Perhaps you just drive faster than we did or a bus does.

No way Colgate is an up-and-back-in-a-day if you are playing a game that day.
