Any word on how the USMMA games will be applied in the standings?

More specifically for Rochester since it doesn't seem that game will be made up.

It probably won't do much since the coaches aren't being paid but...

University of Rochester's Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity alumni offer to pay for the United States Merchant Marine Academy football team's travel to prevent cancellation of U of Rochester's Homecoming football game October 12, 2013

Issued: October 4, 2013

(Rochester, NY) Due to a lapse in government funding, all United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) varsity sport competitions have been postponed/cancelled until further notice including the University of Rochester's Homecoming football game on Saturday, October 12, 2013.  The lapse in funding has caused a deficit in the travel budget for USMMA athletic teams.

The University of Rochester chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity alumni association has offered to pay for the USMMA football team to travel to Rochester, NY in order to prevent the University's homecoming football game to be cancelled.  Robert Hartz '90, spokesperson for the alumni association says, "Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity has been an integral part of the University of Rochester since its inception in 1856.  We support all organizations on campus but in particular, we are very close to the athletic department and football program.  It would be a shame to have the homecoming football game cancelled so that's why we are offering to help pay for the Merchant Marine's football team to travel to the River Campus."  An inquiry has been placed with the USMMA.
