I will partake in drugs if they cancel college football. Life will have no more meaning

We have never created a vaccine for a coronavirus before
There was no money to be made in a coronavirus vaccine before which is why one was never seriously funded. When SARS disappears they stopped working on that own because there was no more money to be made.

Watch, the monopoly will end, you can't keeping robbing these kids
The XFL has 8 40-Man teams and a 9th practice squad.
That’s 360 players
The SEC signs roughly 350 recruits every year.
And that’s 1 conference.
Plus the XFL is paying like 60k which is nice but no aomething that’s going to compete with the NFL.
So out of high school you would have to be borderline retarded to sign anything longer than a 3 year contract.
The XFL isn’t going to want that kind of roster turnover and unless all those kids got drafted by the NFL or signed no high schooler is going to pick the NFL over the XFL at this point.

Depending on your school, a college football scholarship can be worth in excess of $100,000 per year.
The XFL will take some kids with bad grades, or other problems.
It won’t be a big threat.

The XFL is not a thing & never will be a thing. Pure garbage

I could see it being different. I would bet that Season Tickets numbers would take a significant hit?

If anything bad happens to LSU and college football because of this, I blame the mainstream and social media. Our fear would have been reasonable if not intentionally made worse by them. They made reasonable fear into paralyzing fear, causing people to make very rash and momentous decisions.

When the XFL opens the doors to these kids the NFL will be forced to follow suit
I don’t buy this. Why does the NFL care if the kids go to college or the XFL? The only thing that could force their hand would be if players were getting paid more in the XFL than NFL, and I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Hyperbole aside, this part might be true. At a minimum, it would be a litmus test exposing whether it’s the players or the schools bringing in viewers. My suspicion is that even if the quality of play drops off significantly in CFB, viewership will not decline as much as folks think.

That’s not what he’s saying
Expect a completely different CFB if they don’t play in 2020
P5 division
G5 division
FCS
D1
Etc
A lot of programs will shut down. And this is just football. Baseball, basketball, etc will be impacted the most
I think it’s absolutely possible that this changes the landscape of college football, regardless of whether the whole season is lost. To the OP’s point about it being a house of cards - many G5 schools are already facing a financial reckoning because of the P5 conferences cancelling OOC games.
That said, you would expect revenue-generating sports to be the last ones cut in most cases.

They're fast tracking a type of vaccine that has never been approved for use in humans to combat a virus that we've never been able to thawart with typical vaccines. Think about that for a second.
You may as well give up trying to teach reason on here .

All of this for a flu that has a 99.96% survival rate.

There’s too much money invested to just let this die. What are you going to do with the millions of dollars in athletic facilities? There’s mass acreage used by massive stadiums. There’s hundreds of people on every campus with jobs that depend on sports.
As long as pro sports exist, there’s a reason for amateur sports. While you have several athletes from SEC schools drafted into the NFL each year, you have many more whose careers end once college ball is over. Those players are all over the country, and still want to play.
CFB screwed itself by becoming big money. There’s no reason for many of these stadiums to undergo constant facelifts and renovations. Honestly, is it necessary for athletes to have sleeping pods? Access to daily meals prepared by a chef? This monster was created, the NCAA allowed it, and now we are at a crossroads.
The sport will go on. Many small programs may take a brief hiatus. Big programs will have to redo entire athletic dept budgets. But as long as there is a demand for the sport, it will be played.

They just need to hire Art Briles and some other big time spread guys. Invest all their money in the best NFL deject offenseice players they can find and just have 45 to 47 games in the spring.
I’d watch.
But it’s never replacing college football all or the NFL

LSU virtually abandoned all of its seasons in the ‘90s and came back just fine.

I already don’t care as much as I used to.
I couldn’t imagine if we did indeed lose an entire season.
