BigRedBuster Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The only way there is going to be football, is if this reopening of the country goes well. If it does. Great. I really really really hope it goes well for many reasons. But, if it doesn't, there will be no football because there still won't be a vaccine. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Students on campus = football No students on campus = no football That is how it will work. I know NU is selling (or was) student tickets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Loebarth Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Personally, part of me is hoping there won't be a season as that would indicate a considerable effort in self discipline and safety. Safety both of the athletes, students and fans. In this scenario nobody can say greed was the driving force to reopen early. The fan side of me is greedy though. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
GISker Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Just one player on a (any) team with the virus and most likely the season is toast... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

How much testing will be made available. Will smaller schools that are showing up for a paycheck and a prayer to win now ask that tests be supplied to them Quote Link to comment

Which could speed up the talks about d1 becoming only 64 teams which then opens up the idea of farm teams for the pros. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Which Lincoln bars can't survive without students on campus and/or a football season? Barry's will be gone for sure. Everything at the Railyard, I have heard their lease rates are insane. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Huskers still expecting to be able to resume team activities June 1. Newcomers expected that day. Planning on football this fall. 3 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yep and kids will be on campus. I teach a lot of seniors and they have said that for most of them, they have been told to be ready to be on campus. Quote Link to comment

hunter49 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 i just don't see this happening.....you would have to quarantine the whole football team and coaches to keep the co vid from getting started....just too much contact on and off the field. as for the fans showing up at the stadium? nightmare!

Mavric Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 But still planning to play, it would appear. Quote Link to comment
