NAIA team forfeits playoff game

I thought it was 7-0 in baseball.

 

9-0 in a 9-inning game, 7-0 if scheduled for 7 inns. (like HS games)

 

No Aptitude In Academics

 

The score of a forfeited NFL game is 2-0. The reasoning behind this is that a safety is the only way to score in an NFL game in which no points are credited to a specific player.
I would think the same applies to American football

 

Exactly, one formerly NAIA school in my neck of the woods made a meal of players kicked off SEC teams in the 1980s. Their primary recruiting zones were across the street from Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Officially, they were just giving a second chance to some outstanding young men that had made mistakes. "Oh, he runs a 4.3, we'll just have live with that."

It worked to the tune of five NAIA national championships.

 

Hey, they work just as hard as the non-felons who actually go to school! Be nice.

 

You only cover the NAIA when we forfeit!

 

Not unless they play by Canadian rules ...

 

Friends University of Central Kansas did not want to play Carroll. That would have been Smith Center vs. Plainville awful.

 

I've heard about Smith Center. They're good.

 

I don't believe there has been a forfeited NFL game since the 1920s.

I remember reading, probably in the 1970s or so, that there are really draconian penalties for any franchise which ever actually did forfeit a game -- massive, massive fines (back then; they're undoubtedly much higher now). Obviously the message is that barring an unspeakable catastrophe, you do whatever it takes to get the game played.

 

Carson Newman?
And Archie "Gunslinger" Cooley made a living in the NAIA off using players who had used up their eligilbity at another school. Cooley just had them play under fake names and such.
That cat was a character.
You'll never see another guy like him be a college head football coach on any level.
