Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

[nic]

I sense momentum building for this October start. Teams would have to start in pads within two weeks. They are still practicing at some Big Ten schools. For those that are not, they probably need the entire month. Seems like we will know soon if there are legs to this rumor. Thanks for talking football rumors folks.  My hopes are back up a bit, just in time for a Holiday weekend.  Maybe I should stop reading this thread until Tuesday.

The train is still at the station...unloaded.

Not sure if it was posted earlier, but this guy was saying things are close. And now this.

 

 

Seems to be matching what Yacht has said, but a lot more reliable source.

So, presuming nine vote to play and five vote no, what do you do, as a conference, with those five schools? Allow them to opt out? Force them to play? If they opt out, what does the schedule look like?  And what happens if, say, Illinois says they want to play now, but they decide later not to? 

 

I think when the conference chose to shut down the season- they required all schools to obey the conferences decision. If they choose to play- don’t they have to require all schools to obey the conferences decision?

 

Personally if some teams want to opt out it doesn’t bother me. But I think the Big10 will be opening themselves up to more scrutiny if they allow teams to break formation

Am I in an extreme minority by not really caring if anyone plays this year?  If they play, great!  If not, it's just another disappointment piled on top of a million others this year.  I'm really too tired at this point to give a s#!t.  I have enough COVID related stress in my week that I plan on drinking beers on Saturdays with, or without, college football.  I know it means a lot to the players; but as a fan, it just seems like a year of going through the motions and everyone knows it doesn't really count anyway...

 

I'll watch if it's on.  If not, I won't. Oh well.  I just hope the players get what they want as long as it's done responsibly.

I'm anxiously awaiting for that email from admin that says I have to quarantine for two weeks just to get a break!

This is really starting to feel like a coaching search. Should we start tracking Zoom meetings or flights or something?
