The 2020 College Football season will be played. It's March 30th

I mean seriously people the first games are five months away... There is no way this virus is still a big deal 5 months away. Has there ever been a virus to cripple our society for over half a year? The games will be played and the fans will be in the stands. Not having a season would have way too many detrimental results vs playing it out as scheduled.

You may want to rephrase this thread title.
Also, it's not just about the season start. This whole situation harms recruiting and Spring/Summer workouts. It's a legitimate concern that teams won't be ready by September.

Yes the season in 5 months away. Doesn't mean they can show up and play a game. Several coaches have said if players are not back on campus by July 1st the start of the season is in jeopardy.

There’s never been a virus (in modern times) that crippled our society period. We’re in uncharted territory here

College football isn't special. Major sports leagues across the globe have cancelled or postponed their seasons.
I don't think we're there yet, but if this continues for too much longer, then it's a legit possibility.

why do you want to overload hospitals? this is bigger than some meaningless game between lsu and nichols state

Forget conditioning - it’s going to be a hard sell for state governments to start letting tens of thousands of people crowd into games. no fans? Still takes hundreds of players, staff, etc to put on a game - plus travel. I think Herbstreit is right barring some major developments.

Wrong

Yeah, I think when we do have major gatherings of people (concerts, sporting events, conferences) they will look a lot different than they did prior to last month.

It's a multi-layered issue at this point.
- Will people be able to afford to attend games (which were already becoming unaffordable for families) if we're in a deep recession?
- A few experts are suggesting that the virus could suppress in the summer and then we could see a second wave in September. Do you have the season knowing you may have to play games without fans? Hopefully testing will be far enough along at that point to protect the players.
A virus? No. World Wars? Yep.

Not disagreeing, but let's all keep in perspective it has been two weeks of these societal changes. Seems like forever, but that is still an incredibly short period of time to act like we can now predict anything five months out.

There have been some badass viruses and society chose to keep moving.

I don’t think there’s any way we go from where we are at now to cramming 100,000 people into a stadium by the first of September.

It’s developing every hour, every day. There changes constantly happening. 3 months is so far away. If I had to guess, I’d say games are played with limited to no fans at worst. I just can’t see us as a country having so little developments in testing and treatment by then that we don’t feel comfortable with that situation.

I find this interesting
The asian flu of 1957 killed 70k americans, equivalent to 120k today
The hong kong flu of 1968 killed 100k americans, equivalent to 160k today
Those are within the upper worst case range of this pandemic, and we are shutting everything down
I had never even heard of the asian and hong kong flu pandemics until looking them up during this ordeal....

To put more context on to this, from what I have read the mortality rate of those two flus listed above was somewhere between .1% - .5%
I know Covid-19 was over 3% earlier this month but I think it has gone down. Seems to have mostly always been between 2-3% as a whole. Obviously it changes alot depending on where it is located.
