I am holding out for greed. A football less fall will wreck college sports. Lots of cushy administrators are going to be out on their asses and non-rev sports are going to get cut to the bone.

The pro leagues have billionaire owners who can backstop things and use covid to control future costs. College isn't the same model.

Pro players all have unions to negotiate on behalf of their collective interests. Colleges have a lot more latitude to pursue such greed.

Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:Of all the college football players who have tested positive so far, have ANY had negative outcomes? The NBA players? The MLB players? The Korean baseball players? The European soccer players? The high school kids playing baseball in Iowa? What is the data point that tipped these dorks over the edge to cancelling the season?

I think putting kids in a situation where they may catch something that (so far) seems to randomly kill or permanently disable some people who get it, even if the risk is relatively low, spooks the sh*t out of people.

It's ^. The response on this from the people who should be keeping us safe is embarrassing (both political parties are guilty here). Even if there's a vaccine, kids 18-22 are going to be last to be vaccinated (or close to last) so I can't see them playing in the Spring. Maybe next Fall, but it would require a vaccine hitting pretty early in '21.

How are each of the two parties responsible? I'm not saying that to be partisan. I just want to understand what you're thinking in terms of where the Republicans are responsible (I guess WH vs. Congress), vs. how the Congressional Democrats bear responsibility for the present situation.

nebraska's scott frost: we're committed to playing this year, hopefully it's in the big 10, if not we'll pursue other options

The Big Ten vote was 12-2 with only Nebraska and Iowa voting to play.

Very surprising that Indiana, PED State & Ohio St voted no.

If it comes to a vote in the ACC, FSU, Clemson & Louisville will let the kids play; Duke will definitely be a no vote.

They're not playing football in the spring. Asking kids to play 20+ games in that period of time is insane (especially when they're trying to unionize for health benefits, etc.)

angrychicken {l Wrote}:OK...here's the plan in the Big 12 drops out:

1) Push the opening games back to the first week of October
b) teams play a 6 game schedule, all in their division
iii) at the end of the season, #1 in Atlantic plays #2 in Coastal and #1 in Coastal plays #1 in Atlantic
kwatro) winners play each other for ACC Championship

SEC follows same model; ACC Champion vs. SEC Champion for National Championship

Pat Forde reporting that if the Big12 drops out then the ACC will follow despite the conference wanting to play in the fall.

Adam Kilgore {l Wrote}:The Big Ten’s and Pac-12′s decisions were the latest steps toward the full cancellation of an American sporting staple that has unfolded every autumn for 150 years. But with the sport lacking a central authority, other major conferences have indicated they either intend to play this fall or will wait before deciding, and presidents from the Big 12 voted Tuesday night to move forward with the season, according to widespread reports. The Big Ten and Pac-12 said they could play football in the spring, although the logistics of doing so remain unclear.

Bryn Mawr Eagle {l Wrote}:I wouldn't get too excited about the ACC or other conferences saying they still intend to play as of today. I love that they are not throwing in the towel too, but we still have a month to go before the first (currently scheduled) game. Sept. 19 may as well be 10 years from now the way this whole thing is playing out. Let's see what things look like September 1 and then I'll start to let myself get excited about football.
