The logistics of no NFL or CFB in 2020 have yet to be discussed:
NFL:
1) Do players contract freeze for the lost year?
2) Is the 2021 draft done in the same order as in 2020?
3) Will there be an NFL draft in 2021?
4) Will there be a temporary expansion of roster sizes?
NCAA
1) For Miami, do King, Roche, and Rousseau stay?
2) What schools give up football?
3) Will eligibility be frozen?
4) Will roster sizes be increased in 2021?
5) At the QB level, how does a frozen eligibility affect recruitment of HS players? You may have players decommitting.
And finally the unasked question...what happens if the 2021 season is cancelled as well? Does CFB survive in any form? Do college athletics survive in any form? Does the NFL collapse?
Yes. You could very well have .....
- A 20-25% reduction in the number of teams across the board, (in all sports)
- For those schools that maintain football, a reduction in the number of games played,
- Merger and thinning of conferences
- No athletic scholarships
- Coaches going back to making $75,000 per year
