re: Does anyone really think there will be a football season this year?

This will all be over no later than end of May.

MLB will start up and play an abrviated season starting June.

College football will be given an extra 2 weeks of summer/fall camps on top of usual amount of practice days. Football might get pushed back till mid September but we will have NCAA and nfl football this fall

On the bright side, business will be booming for divorce lawyers.

People need to stop being so negative. Live in the moment + a month and stay home. Yes, as things look in the present there is no chance for football. But there is plenty of time for that to change with new research, facts, etc..

Who the hell knows.

And pediatricians. There'll be a baby boom. They'll be corona babies.

Bunch of alarmist over reacting libs on here

Tipping point is in July -- for all of higher ed not just for football. If universities do not resume brick-and-mortar classes in the Fall of 2020 it will be chaos. A lot of students going to take a gap year. Tuition revenue will plummet. On top of cuts to state funding, poor endowment performance, and reductions in private donations, this could spell disaster for some universities.

So forget about just football for a second. Your entire fricking university may be on the verge of collapsing. Harvard and Yale might be alright, but everyone else is in trouble.

You get the big picture. The advantage of traditional in-class College Education is being in the same class room with both the Professor and other talented students who share the same "want to learn" (to borrow from ole Les Miles). On-line platforms, no matter how good they are, can't replicate that. So why would a student pay for an on-line education at some high price school when they can get something close to equivalent at a school that charges less. After all these students get through going through on-line class platforms to get through the Covid-19 situation, is it economically rationale for them to agree to pay the same tuition for those classes vs. traditional on-campus learning?

Lots of Universities, forget sports, might not survive this situation. And to be fair, there are too many Universities in just about every state with too much duplication of effort. Flagship schools in each state will all survive a lock-down again next fall, but starting with the next tier type schools, in Louisiana, the ULL's, ULM's, LA-Tech's, UNO's, etc, they will suffer more, then the next tier type schools, McNeese, SE LA, NW LA, Nichols, are going to face even more problems than the tier 2 type schools.

Dude there will be. Don’t be a dumb arse.

KEEP PANICKING THIS EARLY!

The only way I see them being able to play:

-cancel all OOC games

-cancel all bowl games except the playoff

-make a 1 year exception for an 8 or 16 team playoff

-push back conference schedule into December & play all games in consecutive weeks leading up until playoff. No bye weeks

LSU’s schedule could look something like this.

Aug 24 (1st day of school) would start a condensed 5week conditioning program leading up to...

Oct 1st preseason practice

Oct 31 OM
Nov 7 FL
Nov 14 Ark
Nov 21 Miss St
Nov 28 Bama
Dec 5 SC
Dec 12 Aub
Dec 19 A&M

Dec 26th conf championship games
January 2nd Semi playoff
January 11th CFB champ

If you go to 8 or 16, you push these down into late January
