Just spoke to Memphis associate AD Mark Alnutt. Decision has been made that Memphis-ULM football game will go on as planned Thursday night.

Hurricane Harvey forces schedule changes

The Sam Houston season opening football game with Richmond, scheduled for Sunday night at Bowers Stadium, has been postponed with Hurricane Harvey approaching the Texas coast.

Officials with both Sam Houston and Richmond are in discussions about finding an appropriate date to play the game. That announcement will come at a later time.

“These storms can be difficult to predict and we want to have as much information as possible to make a decision,” said Director of Athletics Bobby Williams. “I want to thank everyone involved in this process as this is not an easy decision to make with all of the factors involved.

“Ultimately we need to do what was best for both team’s players and our fans who are travelling to the game,” he said.

The No. 3 Bearkats and the 7th-ranked Spiders were scheduled to open the season in front of a national television audience on ESPNU. Television and streaming options are still being discussed and will be released when there is a set plan for coverage.

So this can be done for us too if neither team make it, right? Looks like UH offered it so the AAC was ok with it?

probably different circumstances since its a non-conference game. UTSA also declined making that an option and the game has been outright cancelled.
