College football 2020 offseason thread

The media wants there to be a domino effect.

Not sure there will be.

 

Will it?

Northwest Missouri State and Valdosta give a shit what Princeton does?

I’ll give you this: The stiffs at the NCAA probably care what Princeton does. So they could shut down NW Mo and Valdosta football on sheer principle.

 

What’s going on has nothing to do with the Ivy League. The Ivy League, to its credit, simply has no pretense that it has to care about sports.

This isn’t true of many, many places.

Schools care in the sense that it’s “something happening.” And that, as days move on, you’ll see more crusty politicians and commentarians cite the Ivy League’s decision.

 

Drop in the bucket. The Ivy League doesn’t need a dime of that money either.

 

D3 wave coming:

Case Western Reserve cancels all fall sports for 2020: ‘Competition cannot take place safely'

 

I know you've been arguing this for awhile, and I respectfully disagree.

What I think the media really wants is a concrete decision on high school, college and NFL football. Will it be played? Will the schedules be altered? How will they handle the virus?

Unfortunately, no one has those answers yet ... and the media is even less patient than the public, if that's possible.

 

I think the media's job is often to ask questions that make it look impatient. The presence of a questioning media should, at least in theory, cut down on colleges' ability to cut corners.

 

Ten-game conference-only sked likely for B1G grid.

 

ffs,
Zero game schedule likely.
