Report: SEC Discussing Conference Only Football Schedule For 2020

by Staff Reporter

July 9, 202071 Comments

Brandon Marcello with 247 Sports is reporting that the Southeastern Conference will be discussing a conference only football schedule for the 2020 season during a meeting next week.

The news comes just a few hours after it was reported that the Big Ten was planning to play a conference only schedule in 2020.

quote:
Discussions will include an eight- to 10-game schedule in the SEC, though no final decision was expected to be reached at the meeting. The Big Ten's decision, however, may change that. Publicly, the SEC remains steady with its plan to wait until late July or early August to make any decisions on the upcoming football season, which is threatened by the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

The SEC's head coaches conducted a meeting with conference administrators, including commissioner Greg Sankey, on Thursday morning and were told at the time the conference will wait as long as possible before making any decisions on the football season, including whether to start on time or move to a conference-only schedule, a person involved in the call told 247Sports.

No more cupcakes? Every year should be like this. Thank God for the Coronavirus!

TampaTiger22•70 months

You can only get covid from non conference games. That is refreshing to know. Game on

if we're not going to have a normal season might as well do something wild we'll never have a chance to do again. neutral site bubble, virtual classes, thunderdome

deuce985•70 months

Smaller schools are about to get ate up. How are they even going to have a season?

JackieTreehorn•70 months

Just cancel the entire damn season.

mr bunion•70 months

OOC games is a breeding ground for the Kung Flu

SuckFickNaban•70 months

lesser funded schools would have a harder time keeping up the precautions, not that it's going to matter anyways...

The King•70 months

If I'm choosing between a spring season and shortened season with no out-of-conference games, I take spring season every time. Seems like the much better solution for fans, players, and the NCAA.

TrueLefty•70 months

It's nice to be "The King"!

LSUfan4444•70 months

It’s only of matter of time. It’s going to be a spring season.

TampaTiger22•70 months

Kansas juco is moving to spring.

js1591•70 months

The teams and leagues should say they are protesting something. Then they could do whatever they want and can ignore all mandates related to the COVID.

CanebreakCajun•70 months

This is true. Per the “experts”, protests magically do not spread the Chinese virus.

Bristol Dawg•70 months

I'm good with an all conference schedule but how is that any safer? I think it's less about safety but more about managing the complexity (i.e., managing outside league, conference, individual school cancellations or restrictions...)

TenWheelsForJesus•70 months

Caving into an average virus and propaganda yet again. Americans have become weak.

ecb•70 months

Read your gospels and get off the internet and FOX

You know Jesus was just a man. A socialist man. Talking to an imaginary person (God) makes you a psychotic

Yeti_Chaser•70 months

It would suck major arse to lose the Texas game but this probably benefits the SEC more than anyone

LSU82Cajun•70 months

As long as the NCAA & CFB allows the liberals and media to dictate with their scaremongering of COVID 19 they will continue to chop away at the college football season ( see Ivy League). Not even listening to true Scientific research these mob-baiters and election meddlers will do anything to destroy college football, school attendance and the American lifestyle. All in the hopes of turning our great American experience into a Socialist utopia.

js1591•70 months

Could not have said it better. Enough is enough. Everybody needs to just stop with this pretend pandemic.

kemm1•70 months

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

hawkway•70 months

Please elaborate on what you think is true scientific research on COVID-19 and provide sources.

Tiger Vision•70 months

I would rather a 10 game conference only schedule than 12 games including the sisters of the poor and bidirectional polytechnic state reformatory.

LSULyle00690•70 months

Thanks for your opinion

No one asked

Privateer 2007•70 months

This is insane.
18-24 year olds are at essentially zero risk.
Swine Flu was wayyyy more dangerous.

Play_Neck•70 months

I had the swine flu. Was down feeling shitty for maybe a day, then A ok.

Genestealer55•70 months

Mortality rate for people under 70 with Covid is less than the flu. This has gotten silly

mattchewbocca•70 months

How did I know this was coming

DeafVallyBatnR•70 months

Probably cheaper to pay penalty for not playing than no fans for ticket sales and pay them to show up.

DeafVallyBatnR•70 months

So Lsu plays 8 games 9 games and Ohio State plays 11
