That's what's been said about every outdoor event that turns into not so widely spaced and a lack of face masks.

Have you watched any of the games on tv this year? Despite all the media attention and supposed rules, whole lot shown either without a face mask entirely or poorly worn at best.
Keep in mind that I am just talking about families of the players and coaches, not regular fans or filling a percentage of the stadium.

Keep in mind, it's FAMILY gatherings that have driven the massive increases in covid cases and deaths.

Unless you are going to out Mom in one section, Dad in another, Sis in another.

These kids have been up close and personal with each other for weeks. Covid outbreaks on college football teams have been happening non stop. Check your local listing for the number of games CANCELED due to it.

Let's try being on the safe side for a change and keep the kids AND the parents healthy.

He’s not wrong but it won’t matter. The Rose Bowl people are too instrumental in college football. They kept the nation for years from getting a 1 v 2 matchup in the bowl season. That’s why we had a split title in 97. I would much rather Kelly focus all of his attention on Clemson.

The game we're discussing is the College Football Playoff semi-final. It is scheduled to be played at the Rose Bowl (a stadium) in Pasadena, CA.

The Rose Bowl (the game) as currently constituted, is played between the B1G and PAC XII champions and will not be played this season .

The CFP semifinal counts as a Rose Bowl game in addition to a CFP semifinal.

parents are not allowed to attend their game.

Irish's Kelly threatens CFP boycott if no families

Yes I know this is pure posturing at this time but come Sunday, if Kelly still is holding out, should the committee take that into consideration when configuring the playoff pairings.

Assuming Alabama is the first seed, they would get the Sugar Bowl. If ND wins, they'd be sent to the Rose Bowl and California will not allow spectators. The Sugar Bowl will allow a limited number of spectators, so parents will likely be able to attend.

So what happens? If ND wins the ACC, Kelly better be ready to announce in his post game news conference, whether ND will go to Pasadena. In my opinion, it's a toothless threat and ND will go where ever they are slotted.
They need to make sure they get there first

Never mind
Yep. Looks like Kelly shouldn't have wasted his time whining about possibilities and concentrated on football instead. Now he can go play in the bumfuck bowl in nowheresville while the big boys play for all the marbles.

So now the question becomes, did he sabotage his teams chances at a championship by distracting his team?

And became the first team to get into the playoff while losing conference championship week. That is the power of Notre Dame.

You do realize Notre Dame made the playoffs without a conference championship in 2018. So yeah Notre Dame has that power too, try again next time.
