College Football in 2020 in danger?

LSU gonna be undefeated defending national champions for two years in a row!

Spring season would be a shit show for a number of reasons. The biggest is playing one and then trying to turn around and play a fall season 3 months later seems insane.  

I think you move 2021 fall to later into fall - it would be a mess but at least doable.  Maybe do conference only in Spring.  But no matter how the hell you look at it, this fall won't work.  NYC and Chicago plus other calm spots are going to force quarantine for travelers from hotspots.  A bubble type set up in pros may work but cfb is ill equipped to do anything like that - hell the NCAA has proven they're dumb af a million times over.

Remember there was a 2-3 day window in March when we thought: conference tourneys would finish with no fans, then NCAA tourney would be played with no fans, then a mini-tourney could still be held to salvage the Final Four...this feels like an extended version of that period.

Exactly.  Let's have a fanless conference tourney.  No wait, let's cancel the conference tourneys and cut straight to the Big Dance with no fans.  Aw fuck it, we'll wait till next year.  Same thing here.  We are in a much worse place with this virus today than we were 4 months ago.

Sam C, Sam E & Ossai will never wear burnt orange again. This just sucks. There won't be a 2020 season.

Interesting question, do you push for a season that will screw up the season after that? I would think its better to take your lumps up front and get it over with. I have no problem with trying to have a Spring season otherwise. I also think they will hold on to that hope.

It's already being reported the PAC is going to do the same. Sucks for y'all, but honestly, I think it's all gonna shut down anyways.

If the Big 10 is going to do it, the PAC will do it.  Why?  Because California, Oregon and Washington leadership will hold hands while they announce it.  And Arizona is a mess.  

Utah and Colorado could just fight it out 10 times for the conference crown.

Sam Ehlinger may have played his last snap in burnt orange. Even if they move the season to spring, so many draft eligible upperclassmen will sit out the season for the spring season for the April NFL draft

I have no idea why y’all think Sam wouldn’t come back for 2021. He’s not going to be a high draft pick. His best bet is having a huge last year. It wouldn’t make any sense for him to declare if there’s no season in 2020. Same for Ossai. He’s had like two big games his whole career. He needs a full season to show what he can do. 
 

I could see Cosmi declaring but the others you listed wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense.

While fall is done, I don’t see why spring isn’t a viable option, and I believe most players would play, including some going in the draft.

Yep.  And so did baseball.

But people listened then, and followed orders.  Today, half of the fan base would be bitching about liberties being violated, living in a tyranny, etc.

Perhaps canceling the nonconference slate is The power 5s way of showing they care about the health and safety of their student athletes so they can justify having an abbreviated season. Maybe there’s still hope yet for college football this fall

Dumb question time... is there something I’m missing that makes conference games safer than non-conference games? Lots of schools have certain regional non-conference opponents that require less travel than many of their conference opponents. Logically speaking, how can a school like TCU cancel their SMU matchup but justify traveling to WVU?

Only way to make sure everyone playing each other is following the same safety protocols and testing/etc.

[GreenspointTexas 10041]

Lol, its very unlikely we have a season starting even in, say, January

The way he plays and the number of concussions he’s had, he’d be dumb to beat himself up in college another year to move from a 5th rd pick to a 4th rd pick at best. He could be getting an NFL paycheck a year from today, or he could be getting ready for another college season a year from today. Which do you think sounds better to him?

Westlake would play Lake Travis every weekend before they didn't play football.

I would be ok with that,  mrs Fidy and I went to westlake, or brood went to LT, so we always win.   Based on recent test results within our family, I would likely attend every game if that were allowed.

He was draft eligible after last year, and chose to return, so it’s pretty obvious which sounds better to him. His childhood dream is to be the quarterback at UT. I don’t think he’s going to skip his last year to do that.

Did he already have his degree at that point? VY was draft eligible after the 2004 season, did him coming back in 05 mean he was coming back in 06?

Lulz. Yeah, I’m sure Vince’s degree was the change in mindset from 04 to 05, not winning a national title. Vince and Sam are very different. VY was a surefire top pick after 05, Sam isn’t and he’s been a diehard UT fan his whole life.

You’re agreeing with a guy who said this whole thing was a hoax and wouldn’t even reach 1,000 deaths, and he’s only gotten dumber and more obstinate since he said that. You might want to rethink your position in the “Coronabros.” 

[gmr548 16704]

Sam Ehlinger may have played his last snap in burnt orange. Even if they move the season to spring, so many draft eligible upperclassmen will sit out the season for the spring season for the April NFL draft 

There's a zero percent chance Ehlinger would not return. For one, he's a fringe NFL prospect without a huge senior year. If he wanted to go to the draft he could've done so last year and been in the same position he is now. And of course I'm pretty sure he cares more about being the QB at Texas than the NFL.

 

Cosmi is the only one you'd really need to worry about. Maybe Sterns or Ossai but they could both really use big years

To Sam Ehlinger? Is that a serious question? Dude committed to Texas at like age 7. I'm pretty sure if you told him he could win a natty if it meant he'd never get a dime from the NFL he'd take that deal.

Also I don't know why you think Ehlinger is guaranteed an NFL paycheck. He's a long way from a pro QB based on what we've seen. Practice squad gets paid I guess.
