Short of “significant movement from the Power 5 level,” the AAC will go forward as planned with football happening in the fall.
The AAC is continuing to move forward with a 2020 fall season after athletic directors met tonight to discuss potential scenarios, sources tell @SINow.
Presidents meet tomorrow, where there is not expected to be a vote, barring significant movement from the Power 5 level.

Put the pads on and let’s roll. This country wants and needs football. There’s no reason to not be playing.
