Rankings from STATS PollThe 2020 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by fourth-year head coach Danny Rocco, and played their home games at Delaware Stadium in Newark, Delaware. With the unique spring season, Delaware is scheduled to play 18 games in the calendar year. The Hornets will play seven games at Alumni Stadium this fall, including three of their five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference contests.

Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference, which announced Thursday to suspend spring football. The conference already had said it would not hold a fall schedule but would play in the spring, when it expected COVID-19 to be less of a problem. Nevertheless, the Spring and Fall 2021 FCS football seasons will pose difficult challenges for Delaware.

With uncertainties regarding the roster and preparation for the fall, Coach Rocco will have his hands full. But before the Blue Hens look forward to a full fall slate, the Spring 2021 season gives Delaware an opportunity to make up for lost time in a competitive CAA North. For the Spring 2021 season, the CAA divided its teams into two divisions, a north and south division, with the primary goal being to limit travel and ensure safety for its teams. With the release of the Fall 2021 schedule, the CAA will be abandoning that format as its teams will return to a full schedule as opposed to this spring's shortened schedule. Another aspect of the hectic 2021 schedule is how the turn around for the fall season will look.

Delaware originally had a game scheduled against Delaware State , but it was canceled on July 16 due to the MEAC's decision to cancel fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Hornets will play their next three 2021 games at home, beginning with an Oct. 9 contest against Virginia University of Lynchburg. Virginia Lynchburg did not compete in 2020 or this spring, and was 0-9 in 2019. Plus, DSU needs to focus on the upcoming spring season, which may have a few alterations depending on the status of sports in the state of New Mexico.

DSU has multiple football games scheduled every year from now until 2028. Boothe said a game against Tarleton State might be in that 2021 fall schedule, but that all depends on the WAC, which will be competing as a football conference come fall 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Football Championship Subdivision moved what would have been the Fall 2020 football season to the spring of 2021. All attendees at University of Delaware's football athletic events ages 12 and older, must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR coronavirus test taken within 72 hours of the event.

"Full vaccination" means that guests have received their final COVID-19 vaccine dose at least 14 days in advance of the day of the game.

The Blue Hens' schedules and those of its 11 CAA comrades were revealed. All of those schools, with the exception of opting-out Towson, are also playing a spring schedule beginning in the coming weeks after the 2020 fall season was cancelled because of COVID-19.

The Hornets will play seven games at Alumni Stadium this fall, including three of their five MEAC contests. For example, two games against Utah in 2028 and 2030 will net DSU $575,000 for each game against the Utes. The game in the 2022 season against BYU will pay out $425,000 to Dixie State. Games against FBS opponents, which are much harder to schedule, will not be moved or canceled. There's also a significant payout with most FBS games that DSU agreed to over a year in advance. However, there are still a handful of untouchable games on the 'Blazers' future schedules.

The WAC is working on a scheduling agreement with another FCS conference which should help the schedule. That would most likely be the biggest factor in allowing DSU to finish its 2021 slate of games. "What we're waiting on is for the new WAC schools to get their schedules figured out," Boothe said.

"We'll have some WAC games, but we won't have a full schedule like they will." Home games against Sacramento State and Weber State will stay, as will the away games at South Dakota State and U.C. The other home games against Missouri State and Fort Lewis are "okay as of today," according to Boothe. North Alabama needed to move from the Oct. 30, 2021 date, but DSU has UNA schedule for games in St. George in 2023 and in Florence in 2024.

In addition to Towson, the CAA foes Delaware will not face in the fall of 2021 are Elon and New Hampshire.

The system that NCAA and collegiate sports programs operate by is a system in which the program often exploits the student-athlete. The move of providing an extra year of eligibility is one of the few instances in which the NCAA gives the student-athlete some sort of power and the ability to make the choice to return to school for themselves.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association decided to take action and grant student-athletes an extra year of eligibility because of the lost season due to the pandemic. This was the right move for the NCAA as it allowed student-athletes to make the decision of returning for their last year of eligibility. This change in schedule on top of the newly announced fall schedule makes for a busy 2021 for Delaware.

Each student-athlete will be permitted two guests to attend home sporting events using electronic ticket access via a QR code. There is no change to face covering requirements for boys lacrosse athletes, coaches, officials, event staff or spectators. All game times are tentative and could be altered due to television schedules.
