Right. Somehow he must think OU, Neb, ND is just waiting by the phone for us to call.

Is the thought there that we will drop an existing OOC game so we can replace them with a better opponent who needs a game? I have a hard time seeing Kelly bail on a game this close to the season in order to trade up. Most likely, if any teams can't play in 2020, we'll see schools with common opponents who shut it down or with common open dates look to play each other.

And most will simply play fewer than 12 games...Especially if they are non-conference.

How is that payoff going to work when you will have to pay a fee for dropping a game (to the school and conference)? You sure as hell won’t make it up at the gate (25% max allowed). This has to be your dumbest post yet and that is saying a lot. 

We wouldn’t pay a fee if the opposition is the one dropping the game, that’s what this whole thread is about.

I would say most any team in California has a decent shot, Illinois would not shock me as well as NY. You literally made a detailed post and map of what teams were least likely to play, I would start with the bluest ones and those most likely to have concerns over public safety being disregarded for entertainment purposes.

No the thought is if teams on our schedule are not playing we would look to fill those games with other teams that are playing and are likely situated.

And if multiple teams in their conference and their out of conference slate are also not paying they will simply play 6 games because why would you ever bother to fill your schedule like teams scramble to do anytime they are able?

Gotcha - do we have anyone on our schedule with a shot at cancelling? if so, then I think it makes sense to go for a pay day game to help close the financial gap.

Temple would probably be the most likely but probably not, that being said that doesn’t mean we ought to be celebrating that there is a missed opportunity at reshuffling the deck because we currently have a deuce seven off suit that we should be happy to muck.

what is the plan if coaches and players contract the virus during the season? is the entire team quarantined?

I would think they would just quarantine the person or people that actually have the virus.

I'm not sure if that is how it would work.  If he exposed his roommate and, let's say, the other position players at his position, who knows what would happen.
