It's not going to work. All of the players, the trainers, the coaches, upper management, etc. There's a ton of personnel in football. Basketball has a chance due to fewer people involved.

the plan of both CFB major conferences and the NFL seems to be to wait for COVID to go poof, non of it makes any type of sense, football is such a cash cow that nobody seems to be willing to do anything that evens give the appearance that something resembling a full season can't be played even though it seems a near impossibility at this point.

Football has a much higher facility demand than the NBA does. I'm not sure there is an area you could bubble in that could accommodate.

Theyve had a lot of time to plan, Im sure there could be some way about it. No preseason games, extend the regular season into that time frame, which means teams get additional bye weeks. Keep AFL & NFL separate this year, so you can run the league in separate locations. Play games at facilities that could accommodate multiple games at the same time (places with a football field, baseball field and soccer field could permit 3 games at once). Have games running from morning to night OR just dont play (nearly) every single game on Sunday.

I feel like there are ways around this.

I don't know about the NFL but there is a zero percent chance college football happens this year. For some reason the Power 5 schools think just playing games within their own conferences will help. The geographic makeup for the SEC spans from Florida to Texas. Not quite ideal for containing a virus.

Yeah having a bunch of unpaid athletes risk their lives for the school is a terrible look.

I won't believe the NFL will happen at all this year until I'm watching a game. Even then, I will have the mind set that the league will continue on a week to week or perhaps even regional basis.

I'm a huge NFL fan, but it is hilariously sad how people are almost acting like things will continue as normal. I will be shocked if no games are delayed.

If we would just get our act together as a nation and do a real lockdown for 6-8 weeks (not the half assed stuff we did as an unorganized collection of states in April), we could make some decent progress.

Unfortunately, we live in a country where people would rather assign blame than take responsibility.

Beyond the futility of trying to pull this off, the amount of testing required to even make it remotely feasible is kinda gross at a time when average people already have to deal with delays in getting results.

I think the NBA and NHL will work out, but it's definitely not looking great for either the NFL or MLB.

I think we're about two more ball clubs with positive cases away from ending the season. I mean why continue if many of the games are getting "postponed" anyway?

This. The bubble strategy is the only one that has a chance of working. MLB could have tried it (bubble in NY for the East division teams, Chicago for the Central division teams, LA for the West division teams, then pick one of those for whatever postseason they do) and that might have worked. But any team-based league that thinks playing a season that includes travel to the teams' regular home stadiums will work is fucking delusional.

The beauty of the bubble is that it doesnt matter if they do something stupid they still have to get back through the bubble clear of the virus its acting is like a filter for the shit where is baseball and football are going to have this
