I think that they and ISU red should be reprimanded by the league big time. I doubt that lack of players is the reason and agree that money, or lack there of, is the real reason.
Two road games for them means two home games for the other schools. All schools had the same number of home and away games, so it is likely that these two schools made their away games and deserved a chance to play at home and maybe make some money.
At least ISU blue made the call not to play up front.

I'm looking at the stands on our home games and the ESPN+ broadcasts and I'm not seeing anybody covering expenses so far. Not even NDSU who could pack the place if they were allowed, had enough, I think 500? Can't make money with government restrictions like that!
Only decent crowd in any sport in a year was the Texas Rangers! My new favorite team. Tribe is a bunch of cheap losers. Indian tribes should push a name change for this bunch of no hit wonders. No "tomahawk chop" in Cleveland. They just leave the tomahawk on their shoulder until the ump. calls them out!

I'm fine with telling MLB to F _ _ _ OFF! But my point was NOBODY is making money off empty stadiums. Not the NCAA schools, not pro sports. NFL makes enough off TV they can get by, but everybody else relies on attendance, and NOBODY (but the Rangers) are putting enough butts in the seats to cover costs.

Temporary government restrictions are the least of our concerns when it comes to attendance IMO, I've seen some pretty thin crowds the last few years, especially late in the season.
