As some of the hard core fans know, Lambuth University (who holds the distinguished title of our first ever defeat) has had had tremendous financial struggles since losing accreditation back in 2010.
The stories that came out after last season of employees not receiving checks on time, people wondering if they would have job and the tension of working with clouds of uncertainty surrounding the entire school.
Last week the school did a fundraiser with legendary comedian Bill Cosby to raise money to help keep the school going.
I reached out to a local contact of mine and he used statements like "I really don't think Lambuth will be open by football season." That the school was in "financial disrepair", and a shutdown could happen at the end of the semester.
Will we lose a home game (and more importantly a potential win)? What will be our back up plan? Will we just go with another Open Date between road games with first year program UTSA and D2 West Alabama?

Let's go ahead and cut them a check and drop them. They could probably use the money anyway. And then go out and schedule Tennessee Tech who purportedly has an opening that Saturday.
