As you remember, the sec has gone to ten- game, confernvce only schedule.

The cats will play two opponents from the sec west.

Once again that announcement at 6 on sec network.

If everything goes as planned, the sec has also released more guidelines this season for fall sports.

During games, all coaches and non-competing personel, so basically everyone on the sidelines, will be asked to wear masks and social distance if possible.

Unfortunate news for the morehead state football program.

The pioneer football league which houses the eagles has decided to nto have conference competition this fall.

Members of the pfl are all over the country.

Just last season the eagles traveled to games in florida, iowa and california.

The challenges faced with team travel and also meeting state guidelines in terms of covid-19 reduction would just be too much.

Abc 36 sports chatted with head coach rob tenyer on the decision.

Rob tenyer morehead state head football coach "it's a different scenario for just about every group of guys.

Like you've got tour fifth year seniors that i've got two guys who are enrolled in grad school.

And so you this was their opportunity to play.

A couple guys already have job set up for january.

I've got fifth year grad transfer from rutgers who transferred here to play his last year.

And then you've got your freshmen.

Basically they get a free year, which is great.

It's kind a like a redshirt on steroids.

You get a free year.

A year in the weight room whatever the fall looks like as far as a window of practice or scrimmage or maybe even some game opportunities and then again in the spring and then hopefully we'll be able to gear up for the fall.

" that's all for now.
