Correct it was a tournament. . Rules dont apply. .. Dont really matter if they play 3 games in 1 day... DIAA has no say at all...
Not against rules.... The game was a forfeit. . Therefore the game Newark was just filling in for was already over. So game they played didnt count.. Just like a scrimmage.. Dont count.. DIAA has no say...
DIAA does have a say, but it's may or may not be against the rules please read the DIAA manual since it's was a DIAA sanctioned tournament.

4.3.1 The maximum number of regularly scheduled interscholastic contests or competition dates for each team and individual in the recognized sports and their sports season shall be designated by the DIAA Board of Directors.

Lol.. Watch. They wont say nothing... This rule dont apply. .. You missing piont... The game didnt count on neither team record... It was like a scrimmage. .. Smh
Then Glasgow broke the allowable scrimmage rule. Also, if there was a scheduled game for Glasgow it should show as a forfeit win for them. Not there.
Correct ... But made a call.. Said they got approval. .. So must be ok... I thought something way different. ..
Must be nice to have Tommie on speed dial! Every other coach has to go through proper channels. Oh, that's right he's the AD and on the board. Still don't see how Glasgow gets a forfeit vacated and a new game scheduled in one fell swoop and on a Saturday to boot.
Weather conditions on Friday was the exception approved by DIAA
