The better late than never edition.

Wyoming AD Tom Burman says that capacity at football games will be way less than maximum capacity. Wyoming expects maximum attendance to be 20-35% of capacity at football games this fall. Of course, this is all contingent upon th MW actually having football games this season. Good news from Wyoming is that after widespread testing there have been no positive tests of COVID-19 among student athletes.
