Almost a true round robin except Toledo won't visit us and we won't visit Eastern Michigan. Miami on a January Tuesday is lame. Otherwise, four Saturday home games and a Friday home game with none during a student break. If we end up actually playing this with fans in the building, this is as fan-friendly of a conference schedule as we've ever had.

There's probably going to be a spike in cases on campus when the students come back in January but may be back down by February. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Michigan allows only two guests for each athlete, with no other spectators allowed. That should allow EMU to have a sellout crowd at every home game. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by.

If so, I would imagine there won't be any general public if that sticks.

If so, I would imagine there won't be any general public if that sticks. On top of that, since we depend so much on students for the technical production of the ESPN broadcasts (more than any other MAC school, since some of our December games are in the dark with students away), are our live broadcasts at risk with limited students on campus?

Wright State would also be there, not sure on the 4th team. We are also trying to schedule at Dayton. Would be a good test for our young team!
