My takeaways:
-Shame that the league has to go back to 4 playoff teams from 8, and also cut the number of conference games from 10 to 8. Suppose there is a tie for 4th. With an unbalanced schedule, there are sure to be snubs, potentially.
-Salvaging the season is an important goal above all others
-All of this is dependent of course on whether they can get all 14 schools to reopen in time to play soccer and also to not cut "optional" sports and all associated travel.
The A10's release seems to be about preservation of the existing conferences and that's obviously their prerogative so hopefully this short term plan is seen as sustainable, when the time comes to kick off the season.
