Chance of Football in 2020

Not to go all West Mall and all, but business owners work hard to achieve their dreams as well and many have been forced to shut down. Why all the crying for college football?

Edit: Not directed at anyone in particular. Just a general curiosity.

for me the writing was on the wall as early as February----it is a pandemic and the disease doesn't care what you want or where you are. It just wants to make you sick. So to speak.

I ordered my tickets and made my contribution just like I have for the past 38 years but did not and do not plan to attend any games if they hold them. Bevo Boulevard can work its magic without me.

As for all you brave folks who think this is manageable, I hope you are right and wish you well. See you in 2021 or 2022.

And the fact that a bunch of 20 year olds think it is all hunky dory carries the same weight with me as people the same age deciding it would be great to join the military and get involved in one of the fun wars that are frequently arranged. I had a lot of friends in the 60s who thought Viet Nam would be a neat place to prove their manhood. Most of them got their names on the plaque at Veterans' Park in our little hometown. Brave Boys. Young men always think they are immortal.

Good editorial but these young men face the same COVID risk whether they play or not.

The 10 game limit was to keep the games in the family (conference). They can go to 12 game all conference schedule if they wanted.

Other than 10 college presidents, it appears everyone else wants football.
 
BREAKING: Hearing there is strong traction that #PennSt #OhioSt #Michigan and #Nebraska will all join the #Big12 for the upcoming season. #Big10 #CFB

Sounds like a great idea but very unlikely but that would be a 'conference' loaded with tradition and big fan bases.....some very tough games also. But how would you establish divisions and who gets left out??

I wonder if those were just subtle threats to the Presidents before they vote.

Seriously? Move ISU, KSU and Kansas to the north division

Watching ESPN now and no official decision announced.
They are still feeling out other Power 5s.
SEC presidents are meeting, however, and that's a few days earlier than they had planned.

I read a few reports stating the SEC was on the opposing side of Big10 and Pac12 pressing Big12 and ACC hard to stay on course for a Fall season.
Real interesting stuff...

I wonder if this is an elaborate CYA scheme where the presidents can say I told you so if the situation goes south.

Hate to throw any water on this...think it still may have a leg....but that retweet was from a 2-3 day old tweet....prior to the events of this weekend.
Again....may have some validity, but the tweeter is being disingenuous retweeting that "breaking news".
And that makes you a reretweeter, LC!
;)
 
I betcha there is a ton of discord going on behind closed doors between coaches, ADs, Presidents et al......

Yeah but how can you discount Frost’s press conference today about playing anyone, anytime?
