No late night college football won't be the end of the world since baseball will probably be running into November/December.

Glad i'm not in college this day and age. Online classes are horrible!!! Not good for professional sports to have college sports out for so long

I don’t understand why all these places are jumping the gun too early

Decisions have to be made Gold. It takes longer to start things up with a revised budget than it does to just shut things down immediately and indefinitely.

Athletes and programs need to plan and they can see the current landscape offers little hope of a united reopening across the country.

Piecemeal conference play with no practice time will not cut it.

The optics of putting sports before classes is also a problem, even if the budgets dictate the need to do so.

gojetsgomoxies · 05-13-20, 11:47 PM

it was always going to be no fans if they played this fall.

can't the players still practice/play or is cali shutting anything like that down? (i think they are shutting that down).......

so no pac 12 probably. mwc has 3 cali teams if i'm correct. not that big a deal........ anyway, franklin of psu says other teams should play anyway.

will tons and tons of players do one-time transfer? no idea where that stands. but i'm guessing they won't allow it for the purpose of playing this season elsewhere due to covid........

WHAT A MESS

On Tuesday, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey joined “The Paul Finebaum Show” to set the record straight on that.

As you can see below, Sankey said the Power 5 conferences are too interconnected these days for it to be realistic for 1 conference to do its own thing:. “I was asked a question, and I think if the entirety is played of what I spoke, when this flared up, is the connection between the autonomy 5 conferences being likely stronger than I’ve ever experienced,” he said. “We’re speaking every day. But, even more importantly, our schedules are connected. So the notion that 1 likely thinks about going off and doing something in an independent way is actually not attached to reality
