In episode 128 of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast president, Dr. Ricky G. Ford, to the podcast as Kollmeyer and Ford sit down to discuss what is happening at the college. In this week's update, Dr. Ford updates listeners on three topics of discussion for his twenty-fifth straight week on the podcast. Ford talks about football opening up next week, a return to normal face-to-face classes, and about the upcoming Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC), which is the regional accrediting body for Northeast and its visit on campus next week. During his talk about the 2020 football season, Ford talks about the different aspects of opening the season under COVID-19 restrictions such as tickets not being sold the day of the game and all tickets will have to be pre-purchased prior to the day before the game on the NEMCC homepage (http://www.nemcc.edu). Ford also talks about the admission process to the contests, parking, tailgating, and how visitors and the Showband from Tigerland will share the visiting stands. In his talk on a return to normal face-to-face classes, the president of the college states that over 3/4ths of students surveyed said they would prefer a face-to-face class schedule as to one that contained online classes and Ford discusses what to expect from the virtual campus meeting with representatives from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) as they make their on-site meeting virtual.
