Statement from The Citadel:
After the decision was made to cancel the football season, the administration at The Citadel came to a mutual decision that the best course of action would be to play all of our sports in the fall. We made the decision while it was still unclear if spring sports were going to happen, because we wanted to assure our seniors had the opportunity to play their final season. We knew that playing a full spring schedule was going to be challenging, and we will continue to prioritize the welfare of our cadet-athletes as we move forward.
 
Several of our senior athletes will complete their academics at the end of this semester and will opt out of spring seasons to move forward with their careers. They've represented our college magnificently, and we are excited for their futures.
 
We have filed a waiver with the NCAA to allow us to play a 12^th game and we are awaiting for a decision to be rendered.
 
Statement from Southern Conference on The Citadel's schedule:
The Citadel played four fall contests, which means it can only play seven spring games to avoid exceeding the NCAA-mandated 11-game regular-season maximum. The SoCon Council of Presidents approved a plan for the Bulldogs to compete in seven league games with one no-contest against a randomly selected league opponent. Furman was selected as that opponent in a blind draw. The no-contest is a game not played and will be considered a forfeit in the conference standings only, per NCAA policies.
