If it gets canceled now, or a few weeks after the term starts and thousands of students start attending frat parties, getting covid and causing spikes, what does it matter? This season was never going to happen and the only hope I have now is that something can be moved to spring.
The Spring??

How have people failed? They don’t have the ability to create a bubble in college football and there is the added wrinkle of the liability that comes from putting unpaid players in harms way.

If you’re mad that there isn’t going to be a season, I could understand that in April. But if you’re Fucking stupid enough to think that these universities were going to sign up for this potential liability and you couldn’t see that this was getting cancelled you’re a fucking idiot.
They have failed for not acting soon enough with ANSWERS. Look I really thought we were going to play, they acted like we were without any guidelines.. Now it seems it's going to be canceled but the reason why they haven't said anything was because they have no clue on how to proceed after canceling. They can't even commit to a spring season (that's a joke), let alone how they proceed with eligibility for another season. Do they hand out a universal extra year? Do they force players into a RS year and those who already taken their RS year are SOL?

Again, they failed.. how did none of this come up when you plan for the worse? That's why I don't blame the players for calling a union. Maybe they will have a leader that can actually bring up this shit to those egg heads

The Spring??

The spring makes sense in a lot of ways, and TBH I'd rather have football than no football. The NCAA could grant extra eligibility to seniors that would have participated in fall. Kids who want to declare for the NFL should be allowed to and still play if they wish. A lot of schools, even P5 schools. rely on that revenue and not playing at all could have devastating effects to the sport as a whole.

I hope the ACC, Big 12 and SEC play and tell the other conferences to hug a nut.
The idea of playing in the Spring is beyond idiotic. Football isn't hoops, you can't play a Spring season of college football, take off a couple of months and then pick up and play a fall season. Not to mention any player that's even remotely draftable won't play. Either play the fall season or see you next year

Maybe we can end the pandemic now, so football season can get started.

Just have to push up the elections, right?

It’s all political by the Left to get Trump out of office. Watch how quick this virus goes away if Biden wins so the Left can claim they were able to get rid of it. And watch how much longer the left keeps things shut down if Trump wins...so in 2024 they can use in their campaign “Look at how awful the GOP handled the pandemic”

Ive never voted Republican in my life but the extreme left is pushing me that way
WTF! You voted for Clinton and Obama plus you’re a hammer? You hit the trifecta of suck.

What makes you think these same issues won't be here come February? So we'll have a better plan for football, basketball and the incoming baseball season? I could be wrong but a Spring Season is DOA.

I think this illustrates the failure of the NCAA; that it's being left up to individual conferences to try and figure out what to do.
Way to pass the buck, aye?

The NCAA is the central organization for athletics. It is their buck and they've passed it to conferences, so we're seeing plans all over the place. And when once cancels, it's going to domino.

These issues may still be around in spring, but the general consensus is that even without a vaccine (which is hopefully by early 2021), better treatments will be available, we have more time to isolate virus outbreaks - or - the virus burns through more of the populations, thus limited spread, and it also gives the conferences more time to plan. IMO spring should have always been the plan, wasting time on Fall prevented planning for spring.

You are so out of your league on this one. I could argue both sides for days. Everything has been made political because this is an election year. You think the Dems really want to spend 2 trillion dollars and add it to the national debt? No they just want to put a number on it that the GOP absolutely can’t stomach and they can claim they are evil. Make no mistake they think they have the White House and it’s full speed on the Senate now.

You can’t believe a damn thing out of any politicians mouth right now. It’s a complete shit show. The only consistent thing is both sides want power and will do anything to get or keep it.

I'm no political expert, but Sports have never been this polarizing since the civil rights era in the 60's. And in the last 4 years it's been polarizing again.

Sports was what brought everyone together, now it's been torn apart because people choose what they want to hear and what's easy.. instead of looking at the whole picture... sad
