According to MetroNews, like the American Athletic Conference and the Sun Belt, Conference USA is moving ahead with plans for a full 2020 football schedule.

 

For Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick, open weeks in September need to be filled quickly. The Herd has lost three of their four originally scheduled non-conference games due to the ACC’s new policies and season cancellations by the MAC and the Mountain West. The Herd’s regular season finale against Old Dominion is also off the board as the Monarchs decided not to compete this year.

 

“We are going to play someone in our division twice home-and-home,” Hamrick said. “So the conference is putting that together. We do have the game at East Carolina. The American Athletic Conference has indicated that they are moving forward.”

 

The ECU game, which will memorialize the 75 victims in the 1970 plane crash, will be moved off its original August 29 slot to a new date.
