Without a vaccine, it looks hopeless and while the 2 year thing is probably wrong, there is NOT going to be a vaccine by September.

Northeast Conference the latest to postpone fall sports
The NEC Council of Presidents voted to postpone all competitions and championships, and applies to men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball, as well as all other NEC sports scheduled to engage in competition this fall.
The council agreed to reconvene again by October 1 to evaluate the public health crisis and competitive options moving forward.
“While this decision was exceedingly difficult and will be incredibly heartbreaking for our NEC student-athletes, coaches and administrators, the NEC Council of Presidents focused on the importance of the health and safety and well-being of our entire campus communities,” said NEC Commissioner Noreen Morris. “This pandemic has challenged us all in ways we could never have imagined, and I applaud our student-athletes and coaches for handling this difficult time with grace and courage. We are committed to providing all of our student-athletes with meaningful practice and training activities this fall and look forward to reconvening our presidents by October 1 to discuss future competitive opportunities.”
Off note, the Duquesne football team was previously slated to face Youngstown State on September, 12 at Stambaugh Stadium.

Heard from a good source that a certain Big 12 team two hours south is looking to fill an open date Sept 12. They‘re looking for a smaller school. They moved their game from that weekend up two weeks to create an opening.
The YO Show:
Hmmm. WVU!? That would be exciting for an extra money game. But sadly I do not think that football would be played. What a schedule this would be otherwise.
goodnews:
WVU lost Florida State and already has EKU on schedule. I suspect they would be more inclined to play a MAC team if the season is played.
The YO Show:
Good news, maybe but it with the exception allowing FBS schools to count two games against FCS for bowl eligibility this year, maybe they just want the cheaper option of an FCS school? ???
After all, at a minimum this year will have lower ticket sales due to social distancing, maybe playing with no fans at all. Need to keep the costs down somehow. It may actually make sense to schedule a YSU instead of a MAC school.
