Having said that, this past week has been great catching up on Hulu shows, shit I dvr'd weeks ago and never watched, and playing XB1 games i havent touched in months. We have enough food (including enough tp to paper everyones trees in the hood) ..so as long as liquor stores and drive thru's remain open (and I'm getting paid to work at home) I can ride this thing out for as long as needed..but no CFB isn't acceptable no matter what. If has to be just the teams, support staff and tv crews...so be it. P.s...Its 1:59am and OU still sucks Username checks out.

April 2, 20205 yr If it’s canceled, is my LHF contribution fully deductible if I don’t get other season tickets?I’d imagine so. You aren’t receiving anything for the donation.
April 2, 20205 yr So, there is a possibility that the opening of universities on-campus classes will be delayed until January '21. Maybe we have football starting in January.

April 2, 20205 yr I haven’t followed most of anything. With basically everything closed. Are players across the country able to lift or workout? I mean this could be a shit ass football season

April 2, 20205 yr McMurphy on some of the radical options being considered, such as the CFP games held after the NFL draft around Memorial Day. Some very awkward conversations will be needed on most campuses. Sounds like a serious disagreement on whether athletes should be allowed on campus if all other students are not. This should come more into focus by late May https://watchstadium.com/spring-football-eight-game-season-ads-ponder-contingency-plans-04-01-2020/
April 2, 20205 yr 50 - 60 stadiums on Saturdays with anywhere from 25,000 - 100,000 people in each venue. Not going to happen this year. Sucks exponentially, don't get me wrong.
April 2, 20205 yr If this had all started in August/September it would have blown through the population in a month and burned itself out. It probably would have even lowered the unemployment rate since dead folks can't look for jobs or apply for benefits.

And that's not even considering the second wave in the fall.
April 3, 20205 yr Until there's an actual vaccine, and not just drugs that reduce it, there won't be crowds in this country. Who wants to risk it?

April 3, 20205 yr More possibilities from The Athletic. Noninvasive temperature checks at stadium gates "Checkerboard" seating for fans (How do you enforce? I can't see this working in CFB or NFL at all) CLEAR-type preregistration so fans can prove they are healthy and jump to front of line. CLEAR is already set up at some venues

CLEAR is already set up at some venues Do some research on how the state of Louisiana implemented responsible precautions during Mardi Gras. Then tell me you will trust the state of Louisiana to enforce responsible precautions when Texas plays LSU this fall in Baton Rouge. The bigger issue is the student athletes. There is no way to protect their health when they travel to away games. That was the primary concern that lead to cancelling the NCAA tournaments. Not paying athletes is one thing. Not paying athletes and then forcing them to choose between losing their scholarship and literally risking their lives so the alumni can watch games in the fall isn't going to fly at schools where administrators actually care about education and the lives of their students on campus. Before any conversation about playing college football games this fall, there first needs to a collective decision how many student athlete deaths from contracting the virus during travel will be acceptable. My guess is that outside the S!E!C!, that number is zero.

April 3, 20205 yr From Kentucky. Not a good sign. https://www.kentucky.com/news/coronavirus/article241741256.html
April 3, 20205 yr there is no reason to start the college football season until we can be confident it won't be cancelled mid-stream, although in Current Year America, that basically means "never".
April 3, 20205 yr So, if its not played, do ESPN, FOX etc pay out the TV revenue? Do the schools pay the coaches? How do they support the millions spent on student athletes next year?
April 3, 20205 yr 21 minutes ago, Don Johnson said: So, if its not played, do ESPN, FOX etc pay out the TV revenue? Do the schools pay the coaches? The networks don't have to pay for content that isn't provided. There will be a force majeure clause in there, and that clause is probably favorable to the schools for very short-term things but not so much if an entire season goes away. The contracts are not pay-for-play, meaning they don't pay on a per-game basis and if a single game or even weekend of games goes away, the network still probably pays out most of what it owes, but if the entire fucking season goes away, the schools are SOL. A hurricane comes along and blows away 2 or 3 ACC games, that's one thing. The ACC takes 2020 off, that's different. As to the coaches, they're employees and they have a contract. The only way to not pay them is to ask them nicely or go to court.

April 3, 20205 yr Typical sensationalist Finebaum messaging. I don't know anything about the KSU guy, but we'll be lucky to have a vaccine "in place" (like, for everyone) by July 2021. To have CFB games, we need campuses open which will mainly be about immunity and ability to test quickly. Consensus on that seems to be 2-4 months after whenever the curve comes all the way back down.
April 3, 20205 yr 39 minutes ago, Js1 said: I think he’s saying that without a miracle vaccine by July don’t even think about fb. Seems like common sense. We’ll still be in the shit mid summer. The curve flattening doesn’t mean we’ve solved anything it just means we’re on to the next step, which should be massive testing and tracking. I’ve heard nowhere that there’s any plan for that in the US yet. Edited April 3, 20205 yr by 4th&Five
