Imo we are going to play a nine game schedule this year. All cupcakes and nonconference games will be eliminated.

They will allow one extra game to maintain traditional rivalries.

And that’s about it.

 

[Scrape into the C Gap]

It’s happening.

"The move, which follows a similar decision by the Patriot League, will affect several sports, including soccer and field hockey, but not football. "

For the record. Not that it won't eventually happen. Such is life.

The nine zeros dictate that College Football will be playee

 

[grover]

I personally think all the students should physically attend college and go about their normal activities. Give the teachers and staff the option to wear masks or call in remotely.

 

[Genghis Cane]

It’s not football.

If our first GM is September 5, how does this affect us?

Football makes way to much money for these people. They’re going to do everything possible to make it happen.

It’s going to take a player to die for NCAA to cancel the season, and even that might not stop it.

bc easier to do it with paid professionals vs student athletes esp if the plans for students returning to campus in the fall doesnt go. there have already been some games cancelled or postponed (NW vs Winky wont take place at Wrigley as planned). i think they'll try to do an ACC only schedule bc it is far easier to work with teams within your conference as it relates to transparency in numbers vs outside (wagner and UAB wont share their testing results with miami and they also cant afford to test with regularity like a p5 school can).

 

[SayWhat]

They're going to drop sports like Stanford did while hoping like **** that the golden goose that is football can still fly.

I can wait until Spring, but only if Spring is a full season somehow.

Otherwise, let the mf's play if they want. It's america!

If for no other reason than to put an asterisk next to the season in the record books.

As long as the players wash their hands, don't touch their face and socially distance...what is the problem? (They already wear a mask of sorts!)

ummmmm, those players make millions of dollars, and even some of them are opting out of their salaries to avoid the risk of playing...any other brain busters?
