So, today it came out that the Big10 and the Pac-12 intend to cancel the 2020 Fall seasons tomorrow.

Big Ten voting 12-2 against playing.

Nebraska and Iowa voted to play.

The ACC and Big12 were reportedly on the fence still and the SEC wants to play

ACC has just come out and say they intend to play also.

Now...

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29634231/scott-frost-says-nebraska-prepared-look-all-options-including-playing-big-ten

That would be crazy. Could this pandemic create realignment???

There is already a coronavirus topic but..
As a "team quarantine" guy I disagree with this
Halting the world for 2-3 months because a ongoing pandemic is one thing, halting the world for more than 6 months is a disaster
Time to return to normal, seriously

Play the fucking football. With a minimum crowd possible (2 meters distance whatever) or no crowd at all, but play the fucking football

Had we halted correctly the first time, we'd be able to have football. But we didn't, so we can't.

There is literally not a worse possible scenario for bubbling than college football. The size of both rosters and personnel dwarf every other sport. But more importantly (and this applies to all college sports), thanks to the NCAA's own hardline stance on maintaining players as "student athletes", you can't completely quarantine from the rest of the students. It literally takes what could otherwise be relatively contained bubbles for universities and exposing them to each other on a large-scale and frequent basis.

Or to put it another way.

Disagree. All the nations that locked down until end time have propped back up as soon as they let up unless hit severely hard the first time. For example, New York is probably good now because they got blasted early, same with New Jersey.

If the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 play with Nebraska, we can still have a decent season. That said, it is crazy the Pac-12 even delayed their basketball seasons

We should see soon if they can salvage the season with the conferences left. Urban Meyer said playing football in the spring is basically a nonstarter for his program.

Edit: forgot Urban Meyer retired lol.

UNC and Notre Dame go to online classes (UNC for undergrads) after coronavirus clusters in their first weeks back.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse last week cancelled practices after concerns regarding it.

Oklahoma had 12 cases in their football program I believe.

However, the new saliva test has them feeling confident this season will still be a go.

Nick Saban comments that a spring league would be a JV league because all the top players would opt out to prepare for the draft instead.

In College Basketball news, Coach K says it is basically unfathomable to not have the tournament this year also. It accounts for 90% of the college basketball revenues and was a huge hit not having it last year.

Oh and Fields and big ten players made a petition that they want to play. They believe it should be their right to choose to play or not.

Part of Fields argument was that it was safer for players to play than not play because if they do play, they will undergo regular testing and stricter guidelines / quarantine than if they don't play.

They weren't using names anyway. Randomizing player models (within reason) and jersey numbers shouldn't be a big deal. Hell, you can make that stuff customizable on the player's end.

Blitz was an extremely arcade-y take on football and had a competitor that did have NFL licensing. FIFA Street isn't a thing anymore, and they have FIFA licensing.

at least $100 probably

I have it on the PS3 hard drive. Might need to play a season this fall, it's gonna be really weird when the first Saturday of September gets here and Michigan isn't playing.

I probably get about 250k to 300k of business out of football season, but I expect to still make just less than half of that (maybe 100k-150k) and the SBA gave me a 150k EIDL loan so I should be fine. Thank you for the concern though!

The dirty secret to what happens when football and the basketball tournaments don't happen.

https://247sports.com/college/penn-state/Article/Big-Ten-Football-Canceled-Iowa-Hawkeyes-Swimming-Tennis-Gymnastics-Cut-Gary-Barta-150542022/

A lot of schools are having to cut sports due to no revenue. These sports are unlikely to get picked back up too.

Not sure how football and basketball funding other programs is in any way a secret, but at the same time cutting programs is in no way a new phenomenon either. It would probably normally be done more gradually without having to continue scholarships, of course, but I guarantee they've been on the potential chopping block long before now.
