Bowls not likely in the “shutdown” states etc. The NCAA is going to have to consider an all or none ruling on football etc. I think. i would guess not attending school would make all the players all ineligible, as not every class could be on line attendance. even the NFL will struggle......imagine every week someone will be on the unable to perform list with co void.

Well maybe but until we have the important data released (actual infection rates across the entire population) it is impossible to tell. It may well be that the mortality rate is very very low and all the shutdown / social distancing / etc was basically for naught. By fall it may be that 65% or more of population has already had the virus. That will make all the fuss over trying to contain the spread useless and fiscally stupid beyond all comprehension. The med “experts” who drove the bus into the grand canyon economically will never be believed / trusted again. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I would say late September would not be a bad start time if they needed to extend it. No fans is probably what will happen for safety measures. Recruits may be allowed but would not be able to be on the sideline during the game. This is of course a way too early prediction but I just do not see them starting the season on time. I think they will play a 10 game season which leaves one OOC game.. They have a few weeks to play with in December and can move back CCG if needed. Won't affect much because there will be no fans anyway. Maybe ESPN crew will divide up and cheer. Quote Link to comment

Probably for the best since it looks like infections rates aren’t slowing and the death toll as reported is lower than it most likely is. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think if this is an indication of anything, it's that it's more likely going to be a conference by conference, regional decision. For example, the SEC probably has some form of a season given the approach we are already seeing in the South. Quote Link to comment

Try to stay away from the fire as though its none of their responsibility yet they have all the power and say so over member schools and athletes. Quote Link to comment

Let's say New Jersey and Maryland go online only. They won't be playing any football. Quote Link to comment

One of the things we heard is that it’s expected that testing nationally is going to double every month from now on.” And he believes the s#!t the White House says? I see the Big 12's leadership is about as clueful as it was when we left... 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment
