2020 Nicholls Colonels football team
The 2020 Nicholls Colonels football team was to represent Nicholls State University in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I FCS football season as a member of the Southland Conference. The Colonels were to be led by sixth-year head coach Tim Rebowe and were to play their home games at Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium. Shortly before the season, the Southland canceled their fall sports, with the hope that all sports will be playable in Spring 2021. This decision canceled all twelve games, putting on hold their play indefinitely.[1]
