The Deacon Club and athletics ticket office are working hard to finalize allocation options for various capacity configurations at Truist Field as well as the Duke's Mayo Classic vs. Notre Dame game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
That's from when there was belief there could be some sort of fans at the game. I doubt that will happen.
If no fans, no need to go to Charlotte.
Info about the Notre Dame game in Charlotte vs W-S. It's from June, but Currie is all in on Charlotte.

yeah no point if you can't do fundraising events and other PR activities
SEC says no to the end of season rivalry games--only conference games!
so is 5 the threshold for bowl eligibility? will there even be bowls?
Starting September 26. 10 conference games; no OOC games. SECCG on Dec. 19.
If the thinking is that each game brings additional risk of shutting down the season, it makes sense to player fewer games and to only play games that count toward the conference standings. This also adds in an extra bye week to deal with teams having to shutdown because of COVID. With the SEC/ACC rivalry games off the table, wonder if the ACC drops down to 10 games as well.
I wouldn't look too hard for logical support to these decisions
conference-only seems to be a PR move to give the illusion of control of a situation
I mean, conferences are canceling every sport but football for the fall and it certainly isn't because football is safer than cross country vis a vis the virus
Guessing there will be far fewer bowls. The Golden Goose is the BCS playoff and all of the TV money that brings to the Power V; so, they will do everything possible to play those games. Other than that, maybe a handful of bowl games will be played, but that will depend on lot of circumstances that are unknowable right now.
If football is being played, bowls will be played. There's way too much sponsorship and TV money to be lost without bowls.
