Herbstreit making a business move. No sports for the foreseeable future so this is his first step to set his resume for CNN and MSNBC.

I'm a helluva lot more concerned about people getting sick and a % of them dying than whether or not I get to watch college football this fall. I'd miss college football a LOT but losing a football season isn't going to kill me. On the other hand, that virus could get me, you or anyone else if we got unlucky playing the game, sitting in a stadium, attending a watch party, etc. It just flat isn't worth it.

At this point I'd put better odds on not having college football than having it. If there isn't football, I can see all college sports canceled for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Right now, I believe CFB ain't happening. Everywhere this is still increasing. Until that can be stopped and start decreasing at a fast pace, the season isn't happening.

If we're still this concerned about it this fall after we shut down the country for a month, then fuck it... Just let it run its course. Fuck living our whole lives in fear

A lot can change between now and then. I'm hopeful, but I wouldn't bet anything on it occurring. I think by late June, we should have an answer.

Late June would already be pushing it. That would be all spring ball canceled. But I dont know how these guys are conditioning. I dont know how they're lifting weights. Some states are completely shut down and those coaches wouldn't be allowed to have any contact with their guys and others might not be a strict.

I think if you didn't decide until late June, you would already have to push the start of the season back a bit.

Everyone would still be playing with an equal playing field. However, more injuries is likely. Let's face it. There will not be any spring training for college football this year in the regular school year which usually ends around the beginning of June.

They might not see them in person but they still interact with them with video chat or playing Madden video games

I wonder how many people actually had this covid 19 in 12/19 through 02/2020 and didn't know about it? We have a lot of time from now and fall. Right now everybody has the sky is falling mentality. China will never tell the truth. I'm not trying to make light of this but lets just see where this goes. We can't shut the country down for months on end. It will totally destroy the United States and the world for that matter if we are shut down for months on end social disorder with be worse than covid 19. Herbi might just be trying to scare the shit out of football fans to stay the fuck home.
