Good for Conference USA. We’re really in a battle for the soul of America right now, and we need as many conferences as possible committed to playing.
We’re cooked as a country if football doesn’t happen in the fall. People are going to go crazy, and I’ll be right at the top of the list.

Conference USA isn’t a Power Five conference, but they’re still a very respectable conference that can help move the needle.
At this point of the war against coronavirus, there’s no such thing as too much help. We’ll take everything we can get.
Finally, it’s going to be laughable if leagues like Conference USA play football, but Power Five conferences sit out. It’ll be shameful and embarrassing.

Let’s put on the pads, folks. It’s time to play some football.
