They traded an 8-3 Marshall team for a 4-7 Akron team. Marshall is playing VT as a makeup game and was available to play at the time the game hens scheduled Akron. They definitely were skeered.
Personally, I do not think that you should be able to make up a game unless it is the team that you were originally scheduled to play. Running from Marshall is not a good look.
I think it was stated in another thread that Marshall had a chance to play in their CC game, so USUC could not wait until that was decided before scheduling the makeup game.
That said - I agree 100%
If you let the SEC get away with doing this, guess what, they will all cancel games at the least hint of a storm so they can schedule a cupcake game later. This is all part of the SEC plan to cheat their way thru every season to be ranked higher.
