50/50 But doubt any fans will be allowed.

I think there's a very good chance as long as both teams want to play.

But can they sue MSU for the travel guarantee? Heh

No fans in the stands means it isn’t worth paying them to travel to Bozeman. Why throw away money for a glorified practice?

Very doubtful they would win that case.

Why? The players. Unless money is the only thing that matters.

So they are going to travel from Utah to Bozeman to practice in front of no fans for free? If they make the trip, MSU is going to have to pay them the guarantee. Seems like a horrible business decision if that’s the case.

Playing one game against Dixie State with no fans is for the players. I was told that they can’t play this fall because it is too dangerous. Also, yes, money does matter for more than ever for universities, and I hope every decision is being made with cost-efficiency at the front.

Did MSU cancel the BSC season? Were you told by Choate, Costello or someone else associated with the school and or athletics department that MSU is the reason the season was cancelled and it's because it's too dangerous to play this fall?

Did you somehow miss the announcement fro Costello, Choate, and players in leadership that they aren't playing this fall? Dixie State isn’t going to pay for their trip to Bozeman on their own, and with no fans. It’s delusional to think this game is a possibility.

Didn't answer my question. I heard the announcement. The announcement was made because the BSC canceled the BSC season. MSU didn't go to the NCAA, or the BSC and say we can't play this is too dangerous. Maybe they did, but I don't think so. That was my point since you previously said they wouldn't play Dixie because you have heard it's too dangerous.

IMUO they will play Dixie State in late Sept. or early Oct. and it'll be the Gold Rush game. People can make cardboard cutouts wearing Gold Rush t-shirt of themselves or whoever and drop them off for MSU staff to place in seats around the stadium. MSU will have a suggested donation to offset the cost/lost revenue of the game. The payout will be renegotiated with MSU making a return trip to Dixie. ROOT will carry it live and proceeds will go to MSU Athletics.

(Make sure you know what IMUO stands for)

Will they place my cardboard cutout where my exact season tickets are at? I can’t see this working unless they put the cutouts in the exact seats we are assigned. Otherwise, it would be total chaos!😉

LOL! Yes, if you put your section and seat number and row on the back of your cardboard cutout, then IMUO they will do just that.
