So they are playing a Club Football game
Per, @Taylor_McGregor, they are going to start FSU/SMU at 9:15 EST amid power outage. She added that they’ll be limited electronics during the game — the clock will be kept on the field, no coach-to-player communication and no IPads.
“They believe they have enough lights in order to play this game.”

D-I athletics right now:
• UCLA: $219M cumulative deficit
• Rutgers: $516.9M in cumulative shortfalls since joining the Big10
• Iowa State: $147M projected budget gap
• NC State: $18.5M projected deficit
• Dozens of varsity programs eliminated in the last year
• New fees passed to fans
More money than ever, still not enough.
Fewer opportunities. Greater instability.
This isn’t what college sports should be.

I understand getting rid of the actual staff.
