If Louisiana Tech plays football this fall, the Bulldogs will need a new opponent for their home opener.
Tech’s scheduled game against Prairie View A&M on Sept. 19 was effectively canceled Monday afternoon. The Southwestern Athletic Conference announced it is moving football to the spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tech athletic director Tommy McClelland released a statement shortly after acknowledging the SWAC’s decision and briefly addressing Tech’s next step.

“We are having conversations with some other programs about the possibility of filling that open slot on our home schedule,” McClelland said.
