Will we have CFB in the fall?

BoiseStateFan27 · Aug 8, 2020

Our only hope is to postpone to the Spring, then hope as a country we get our shit together at least manage it better like all the other countries in the world are.

More data and testing

In March we didn’t know much and at the time deaths were rising exponentially.

True about the data and testing and we know more. But, a lot of us haven't done any better at mitigating it now than we did in March. Hell, here in Texas we're so stubborn we may be in worse shape than we were then. I know my county is....and we ain't near as bad as the cities.

Big Ten Commish might be in favor of canceling season.

As long as no one from the Power 5 drops out, there will be a season. At least for awhile.

String the hope out as long as you can to try and get every single penny you can possibly squeeze out of the fans/boosters/season ticket holders/ad revenue, because you know you're not going to have an entire season and every single university is going to take a major major major hit in their income.

Think all we know really is those who think they know what will happen don't know.

I get the notion that spring would be better but the reality is spring is only better if the country starts being more responsible. And we all know thats not going to happen

I’m to the point where I say just have it from the start of February to the end of April. Not sure how that would work with the NFL combine but at least the season is over before the draft, gets you 10 games plus 2 bye weeks. Then just delay the next season until October so players have 5 months of rest.

The best players may not play but it’s better than nothing.

I don't think its happening. They'll pull the rug from under us within the next week or so.

If it doesn't happen next month, it's not going to happen next March

Lets play game 1 before we declare it over and done for.
Mmmmmk

Hoping for spring. Better chance the virus is under control and there’s some sort of treatment and/or vaccine. No hope of fall college sports IMO. Shut down within two weeks.

Sure it could. March is 7 months away. Treatments, vaccines or natural spread and dwindling numbers could all very much allow for a spring season. There’s 0 chance of a fall season so IMO they should shoot for something that’s at least possible right now.

More responsible? What does that even mean? There isn't any stopping it until you've had it. Slowing it down just makes it last longer.

Once infection rates go down it will become politically acceptable to open stuff up again. Im speaking to the public relations aspect ( which is really all college sports cares about )

No

And Spring is a pipe dream.

MarkOU · Aug 9, 2020

With all the "United" bullshit and calls for Social Justice what eva nonsense spreading worse than covid, might as well cancel it till this shit blows over. It's all due to this being an election year and that's it. Ready for this fucking nightmare to end. I blame Democrats. They're fucking commies anyway and hate America and what's more unamerican that shit canning college football? You didnt see Republican destroy everything to prevent Obama from getting term 2 did ya? Fucking scumbag commies.

No. But this virus is a bit of cover. It is a danger, but are willing to push through it for money that football brings. But the players union that's not called a union that's popped up in just about every conference is gaining serious momentum and that's what's scaring the Power 5. That's the driving factor. They don't want them organizing any more than it already is. Push forward with the season, they're gonna organize more and the house of cards of "amateurism" is going to collapse. They'd be the only college sport playing and the only reason is for the money. It shreds basically every argument the NCAA has used for decades to protect its amateur status. If they pull out now and claim its all on covid, then they don't have to address any union demands or collaboration. It buys them enough time to where the virus should be under control (if America will ever gets its shit together) to where it'll be close enough to "normal" where the athletes won't feel they need to band together.

College sports as we know it are going to be pretty much over. Financially the loss of a football season is a huge blow to almost every schools athletic program. I'd expect mass shutdowns of programs (starting with the non revenue sports)

Will we have CFB in the fall?
