The 2020 season will start a week earlier for Texas State and SMU.
Director of athletics Larry Teis announced in a statement Monday morning that the Bobcats’ game against the Mustangs, which was originally scheduled for Sept. 5, will be moved to Aug. 29. The news was first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.
“With the season being permitted to start on August 29 as scheduled, this move will give us extra time between our first two home games to manage any variety of possible circumstances that may occur,” Teis said in the statement. “Our original schedule did not have any open dates in (September). This improves our approach to managing the conditions of these unprecedented times safely.”
