Why not start the season a little later instead of canceling the whole season? They said they will know more by next month so we shall see. Something tells me that the football power programs may tell the NCAA to piss off and play with or without the NCAA’s approval.

If the students aren't on campus, they'll be online. I think if the players are taking online or campus courses, the season could go on. However, for those subject to the nutballs that will still insist on an enduring lockdown, that's too bad for them. If you can't open school, you can't have football.

My daughter attends Texas A&M and she received an email recently from the Dean that said school will start on time and in person and there will be football. My other daughter attends Texas Tech and they already sent confirmation that school will start on time in person however no mention about football.

Half of the class will be on Zoom and the other face to face. Then they will switch the following week. A scheduling challenge and tough to keep track of everyone when their are more than 30 students in a class. However, faculty have the prerogative on course delivery. I can’t teach wearing a stinking mask and face shield for three hours so I’ll probably stay on Zoom until masks and shields are not required. In terms of CFB, I think in the end some schools will play and sone will not...an incomplete conference.

Not sure about the entire P5, however the SEC is playing football this fall with or without the NCAA’s approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can argue that class has started on line so maybe start football. Wondering how ESPN will handle College GameDay now that everyone is socially distancing. Can’t really have those big groups of fans and students partying while they are packed in like sardines trying to get on ESPN. This is pretty crazy and sad as College football was always about the fans to me. We need that vaccine so hopefully 2021 season can get back to how it should be.

Call me naive, but I do not see how any institution of higher education could on one hand determine that sufficient threat exits in that all students could not sit together in a classroom, yet on the other hand, allow a portion of their student body to engage in heavy physical contact with students from another geographical region As such, I see the schools that fully open-up for fall classes, having all fall sports (including football) For the ones that utilize either 100% virtual or some sort of rotation, fall sports are probably out Thus, the incomplete conference scenario NEB noted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger question that the sports world really wants to know is will UNH play football in the fall? And I would think you would be more effective teaching with a mask, less of your face showing would be a positive for the students IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NCAA cancels that then there will be an uproar. In terms of masks there are some coeds freaks who would be into that and I don’t need that in my life.
