You can keep a field green all year just like they keep golf courses green all year...Being on a football staff for 30 years I spent a lot of time maintaining game and practice fields. The issue that the field is in bad shape because Butch wants a green field all year long doesn't hold water...Our field along with most D1 fields are green all year.

When you re-sod Bermuda it takes 2 growing seasons to get a good established root base. The field was re-sodded in June....which only allowed about 2 1/2 months of good growing weather....Bermuda growth slows down a lot about mid August. And if and fact what I've read is true that they aerated the field in August....the person or persons that ordered it to be aerated in August should be shot.....then dipped in a outdoor toilet and then shot again for stinking.

IMO, there were some bad decisions made up and down the line....but also re-sodding and playing on it 3 months later can cause major issues.
