Another program bites the dust and ends the season before it even begins! According to Brett McMurphy, there are now 54 college programs sitting out the season.
It’s just a depressing as all hell number.
New Mexico State postpones fall football season to spring because of COVID player health & safety concerns as well as 14-day quarantine requirement when traveling back into state, sources told @Stadium. Of 130 FBS programs, 54 will not play in fall, while 76 plan to play in fall

We also know that New Mexico State will absolutely not be the final domino that falls in the war against coronavirus.
There will be other programs that don’t play in 2020 that haven’t announced yet. I can promise you of that.
Also, I am very confident that the Aggies won’t play in the fall. No chance in hell that happens. Their football program is on ice until at least fall 2021.
