If so, will scholarship limits be raised to accommodate. Will recruitment rules be changed a many HS are canceling seasons also? Any chance of a spring season? And will a Runza store finally open up in Tulsa? You'd have to think they would make some special exceptions when it comes to all of this. Alot of paperwork upcoming Quote Link to comment

They literally buried their heads in the sand, and hoped for a miracle. What the hell was Kevin Warren thinking that led him to release the revised schedules on Wednesday, and come out and support it saying he would feel safe, and yet 4 days later, it's all going up in smoke? You can't tell me the B1G wasn't talking to the presidents... What have these guys been doing since March? 4 Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If the big ten/Pac-12 cancels & everyone else plays it’s gonna be a disaster. What changed at all these few weeks? Quote Link to comment

Good thing that's not whats going to happen. At this point it seems like the SEC is the only one still trying which is a beyond futile endeavor given the current situation in the SE. Don't worry.

If football is a pipe dream with testing & restrictions then the dorms/classes/partys are gonna be ugly. 2 Quote Link to comment

You can't tell me the B1G wasn't talking to the presidents... What have these guys been doing since March? I think they probably kept hoping things would work out well. European soccer leagues managed to finish their season with only minor issues. MLB has had a lot of problems so far. So I think they took a wait and see attitude. I think the preliminary findings on covid induced myocarditis in younger people may have spurred them to the final decision. In the end, the mycarditis effect may be minimal, but risk aversion may have taken over. https://www.si.com/.amp/college/2020/08/09/ncaa-cardiac-inflamation-coronavirus-myocarditis-concerns Had the US managed to reduce the number of positive cases walking around, then the combination of: small number of positives * small rate of serious effects from covid = really small number may have been an acceptable risk. But with the US still having fairly high positive rates and not knowing the myocarditis effect, it probably raised the risk for them too much. And, as many have already pointed out on this thread - there is also the potential for the more cynical "stop the players from unionizing/forcing a work stoppage/getting a bigger piece of the pie/etc." In which case, covid is a convenient way to cancel the season while they get a handle on the future of college athletics. Things will probably be very different in college sports by fall 2021, even if some kind of covid vaccine is available. At this point things will never return to "normal" - the normal of the 1980s - 2019 (ever since the Supreme Court ruling that opened up the television money floodgates). 1 Quote Link to comment
schriznoeder Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The SEC is looking to form a sort of super-conference for the season, along with securing a one-year TV deal. Let's take them up on their offer. Can you imagine how much that deal could potentially be worth?! Quote Link to comment

There’s a writer in Florida who tweeted out a quote from an anonymous P5 AD how the story isn’t about Covid because that’s enough to cancel the season, rather the presidents concerned about players organizing a union, and shifting college amateurism.
