It’s horrible, why did the liberal state run governments let everyone die?  Shameful.

Chi Town - I did look for grass stains, as he was a known chewer of turf grass, prior to Les Miles. Only significant signs are the “Holtz” written on the inside size tag and that it came from his known sister/SIL.
Plus how in the hell does someone from the Houston area get a “medium” ND sideline pull-over jacket (that he was known to wear)?

That's definitely a damn cool item to have.  Even as someone who never really liked Lou, I'd love to check something like that out.

He isn’t wrong you know. Hopefully the Big XII and SEC lead the way in pushing back. 

Clay Travis is a fucktard.

You know how fall of 1918 went, right?

 

Edit: One minute after googling "college football 1918"

 

The third sentence on the wiki page for 1918 College Football Season is "World War I's impact on colleges in the country, and the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, eliminated most of that years scheduled football games." It's annotated with a source - an old newspaper article at the Michigan library.

 

An SI article in May notes that in addition to 18 schools (which I'm willing to bet id proportionally equal to a larger number now) canceling, most couldn't start until October or November, and many played three or four games.

 

Lastly I'm willing to bet the no mask crowd is overrepresented among college football fans. Not to mention attendance numbers were wildly different then.

Doesn't aggy claim the 1918 national championship ...

Fans' heads will explode, but if the stands are gonna be empty anyway, the safest, cheapest and most logistically sound thing to do is play in Austin or Norman
I'm gonna pretend you didnt just say this..

If the season is canceled or significantly reduced, it seems everyone gets an extra year of eligibility. I’m assuming many graduating seniors will stay at their schools unless they are projected as high draft picks, or we may also have a high degree of graduate transfers. Either way, they can stay and finish out their college career if they choose to.

What’s a little crazier to me is the high school situation. No high school senior is going to take a victory lap for the sake of high school football. Recruiting and signing day will be strange with much less info to rely on, then we’ll have a class of less proven talent that will enter college programs where the previous “freshmen” never even got a freshmen season. It seems like they’ll basically get lumped together into one giant bizarro class.

Meanwhile, NFL could lock down as the #1 game in town, on Saturdays.?!

Much like the NBA, it will only take a few positive tests to shut down the NFL this fall. 
 

We really should be focusing on preparing for 2021 football so that doesn’t get messed up too. At the rate we are going, not great Bob.

The US Supreme Court just gave half of Oklahoma (including most of the city of Tulsa) back to the Native Americans. So they have that going for them. Which is nice.

So you're saying they went to court and the Native Americans lost?

This comment was probably in jest, but the court case has nothing to do with transferring ownership of land or other civil/regulatory matters. It looks to be related to criminal law/jursidcition over crimes committed on what was tribal land.

The comment was somewhat in jest, but not entirely.
 

Yes, the specific issue in the case was whether two specific Native Americans could be prosecuted under Oklahoma state law and in Oklahoma state court. Two terrible crimes the commission of which isn’t really in doubt. However, the reason that question is raised is whether the existing Muscogee (Creek) reservation, encompassing about half of Oklahoma, was ever dis-established as part of Oklahoma’s statehood. 

The Court held that it was not dis-established, and still existed. The only immediate impact is that the convictions of the two specific individuals are erased, and they have to be re-prosecuted in federal or state court. 

However, the potential impacts are much, much broader. We simply don’t know the scope of the impact on civil and regulatory matters. It may impact private property ownership, including mineral ownership.  These issues were pointed out in the briefs in chief and the amicus briefs. Oklahoma and the Tribes are playing nice for now, saying that they’re studying the opinion and considering its effects. But in the amicus briefs, energy trades and other groups expressed strong concerns that this could put quite a bit uncertainty into existing and future criminal, civil, and municipal proceedings, regulations, enforcement, and jurisdiction. This is potentially a very, very big deal. Much bigger than the presidential cases that were decided yesterday that got all the attention.

SANTA FE — Citing an explosion in virus cases, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Thursday that New Mexico will reimpose a ban on indoor dining and call off high school football and other contact sports this fall.

She also urged colleges and universities to postpone their football seasons but said she is still weighing whether it’s safe for New Mexico United, a professional soccer team, to play its season.

Meanwhile in nearby Oklahoma, the ability to play high school football is being "tracked", or is it..?

Yes, that was the matter at hand, speaking of the Sooner State, OU athletic director Joe Castiglione, on "the B1G shaft":

I think the odds of making it through a season are basically the inverse of the odds of no trainers, no coaches, and no family members of players catching Covid and passing away from it. And I think the odds of not a single one of those people dying from Covid are as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero. It would probably happen even without a season. But as soon as it happens during camp or the season, it's curtains.

At this point I'm convinced all of the Universities have all of their donation and ticket revenue sitting in their Robinhood accounts and are just trying to get as much of that sweet sweet stonks gains off of it as possible before having to refund it all. They know it's not going to happen.

Next will come the realization that every university in this country now has an AD budget that is proper fucked.  As most of these universities will also have massive holes in their overall budgets, and state revenues will be down.....good luck with a bailout.

This is the apocalypse that no one ever thought to plan for (obviously) but it could cancel the UT-Arkansas/ OU-Nebraska games in 2021...

That is unless there is an effective vaccine (as I assume the 1st batches to have some side affects), we may not see CFP on track 'til '22..?!

Not only that, people continue to act like irresponsible selfish assholes and corona is acting like principal Vernon handing out cancelled sports seasons like detentions.
