College Football in 2020 in danger?

I don't think the stadium itself is a huge problem.   But even at 25% capacity, restrooms, entrance, egress, concessions, are all going to be issues.  Especially the restrooms.  Those are enclosed, dank, gross viral breeding grounds even under the best of circumstances.

I think this vote is different. This is the schools acknowledging the risks and agreeing they can proceed in a vote. It doesn’t guarantee it will happen but it’s significant. 

It’s significant like the release of the B1G schedule was significant last Friday.

When the lawyers sink their teeth in and show the Presidents their liability / exposure when and if a kid get sick, then it’s:

 

The Confederate Football Playoff isn’t going to hold up.

If BYU and Nebraska want in the Big12 for one year (the latter ain’t happening because Grant of Rights and such,) the conference should agree provided both play every game on the road.

I mean, “kids” have already been getting sick. And the vast majority of them still want to play.

Boxed concessions at every seat for every game. Water bottles only, piss or shit your pants

F that, I still have Taysom Hill PTSD. Don’t @ me.

I believe BYU’s current coach is two games over .500 in his tenure, and they don’t have the bionic man at QB. 

I’d also be fine playing only 9 games. Whoever wins the Big 12 is going to advance. To what exactly is anybody’s guess.

Feels like more than just lawyers and liability causing such a quick change of direction by the B1G since last week...

Unless you’re frenching the stranger next to you, outdoor transmission would be next to impossible 6 ft away outside

minnesota's stadium holds 50.805.  20k-30k fans is half that.  that ain't 6 feet away and it couldn't be controlled anyway.  also, utee is right that it would take 6 hours to ingress and egress.  it would also render the entire thing pointless as the atmosphere would be worthless.

shit sucks man.

I think the Nebraska rumors are Frost stirring up the media. The Big Ten would come down on them like a ton of bricks if they played in the fall. 
 

BYU is the only well funded Indy available.

Hahahaha no it wouldn’t. Why do you think the MLB and the NBA are playing without fans? Or the South Korean baseball league? God damn dude you have really shown yourself. You’re one dumb mother fucker. Please take the Longhorn out of your handle. You’re not a Longhorn.

Please follow your own advice and quit shitting in this thread. Name calling by a presumably a 46 yr old is immature and makes the rest of Longhorn nation look amateur.

....

In another stunning move, the Big12 presidents decided to change the logo of the league.

When pressed on why, the Presidents did not offer a response. Even in a crazy year like 2020, no one could have predicted that in addition to agreeing to play in a pandemic that the league would take such drastic marketing measures. It seemed also very confusing as the league only relatively recently decided to change their logo after the departure of 4 institutions and the adding of TCU and West Virginia to get the league to 10 teams.

But, I guess nothing is surprising in the new normal. And one has to just take kind of look to the new logo for guidance.:

The Big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Football Means More

Why do I get the feeling the Big 12 is still going to cancel in a few weeks and they're more just kicking the can down the road so they don't look reactionary and following any other conference's lead?

Zero chance there were parties pre race. Absolutely none.

A lot of the respectable football board types resort to name calling when their point of view is challenged.

We do not need to be pressing our luck with fans. Let’s just be thankful they are going to give this a go. Things still need to go right for this to happen at all.

I don't think you can understate the importance of doing what is right. If your school insists on playing football this fall in the face of what you consider to be unreasonable risk of illness, long-term damage, and DEATH!!!!!!, your school is clearly violating your moral code and doesn't deserve your support.

Fall college football playoff= Bama, clemson, Texas, LSU

Spring college football playoffs = Ohio St, Boise St,Miami(Ohio) and North Dakota state

Same weekend the first round of March madness

I agree. If you disagree with this, you should go root for Michigan State or Penn State who have recently been the beacon for all moral compasses to point to.

Mentioned this earlier, but if either American or Conference USA plays, that would give the "play" group a majority of the CFP board of managers (that's what they call their governing group). Seems like a no brainer if they can swing it financially, especially the AAC champ would have a legit shot at the playoff (Memphis favored, Cincy and SMU both pretty good).

That would leave the Rose Bowlers playing their spring conference games for...maybe a few sympathy poll votes? Ohio State can win every game by 40 and it would be tough to justify over an SEC/BIG/Clemson team that won its conference plus a semifinal and NCG.

Oklahoma has been signaling all summer that they are not interested in playing. Whatever Riley’s angle, he doesn’t want to play.
