Will be interesting to see if Valpo adds a non-conference game or 2 prior to start of 6-game PFL schedule.

What is going to be different in March and April than it was in September?

I didn't understand why the PFL stayed with the decision to not play a Fall season when so many of the conferences change their minds and played anyway.  I really thought that when the Big Ten reversed its decision that maybe the PFL would follow suit, but alas no dice.

No FCS conferences have played though. A few individual teams have put their own schedule together but that's it.

Once the NCAA announced that there would still be a FCS Championship playoffs/tournament in the Spring, the vast majority of FCS conferences did not play. The Fall Semester should have provided a kind of "dry run" to how best to handle football and other sports in the current climate, not only by what happened at placed like Valpo where fall sports were not played, but also looking to the examples of other schools that did. Still going to be pretty precarious situation in the Spring with the possibilities of postponements, etc.

In case there's any lingering doubt as to Valpo's participation, the plan is to do so.
