If students/athletes get back by, say, the second week of July, the season can go on like normal. Any later than that, I predict that the season would be delayed by a week or two. There WILL be a second spike in cases tho around October. When that happens, I wonder if we will repeat some of this. read on another board there was talk of mini camp being held in may if they get the all clear on ESPN radio today! that tells me for now PTB feel atleast 95% we will have football! "For now" and "IF" are the headlines though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightTiger 205 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 also if season is delayed! I have to wonder would that mean conference game only season? and no "non-conference?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 That's flat out 100% bullcrap. President Trump didn't start this virus nor did he bring it to America. Does anyone really believe he wanted America to come to a stand still and watch people die because of this damn virus? he'll no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any predictions at this point out should be taken with a huge grain of salt, and mine are no exception. But I imagine that with this much time to plan, and this much money at stake, they’ll figure out a way to play the games, even if they don’t allow crowds and only use a skeleton crew. There is just so much revenue to be had by televising the games. It wouldn’t surprise me at all though if this isn’t feasible for smaller programs that end up having to take a year off.

I could see them doing the following in order to play college football or even pro football, should the virus require large populations to stay home: 1. All coaches and player would be tested prior to any game. Temp, swab(w/ 15 min results) etc... 2. Games would have no one in the stands. All games would be televised w/ pay per view so that money could be distributed to the colleges that lose ticket money. Or colleges would still have virtual ticket sales taht would still bring money to the college and allow fans to watch the game on tv.. Any games located in designated hot spot would require venue changes to locations that are in the low category of risk. Any traveling teams would then be tested when arriving at the visiting location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the minute anyone involved, staff, players, coaches, crew, support, etc, tests positive, they will blow up all games, both in pro and college at any level.

AUBwins 10,075 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have a backup plan if no season this year. I am going to pull out the 2010 Championship DVD set and watch 1 game a week. Watching Cam grow in front of our eyes that year was truly special. Then go roll the front yard after we win lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightTiger 205 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 so don't know if anyone has heard but the last two days Friday and Saturday there were rumors floating that CFB would kickoff its 2020 season in summer months July, August, September. the rumor was quickly shot down by CBS Dennis Dodd who said he spoke to a high ranking "College Athletics Official and that there had been no discussion regarding the 2020 season at this time" bammer homer Cecil Hurt also claimed he spoke to a few college officials and they also they have not heard any discussions of a "Summer kickoff for College Football" so basically with that said just based off that it sounds like CFB folks are in wait and see mode like everyone else right now and probably wont really start making decisions untill mid-may/early june! also IMO while I feel its unlikely everything will be closed past May/June I do think there will be folks forced to make adjustments to their schedule and CFB will probably be one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to play between waves of the virus i suppose? yes rumors are that's why they were reportedly looking at a summer kickoff. but again it was proven to be nothing but a rumor as Dodd and Hurt both could get no confirmation from anyone they talked to! I realize that the virus is scary. but I doubt seriously a summer kickoff would even happen or be discussed for these reasons 1. pre-season practice would have to begin as early as late April/mid May and based off of Trump extending the guidelines to April 30th with a June 1st date to open everything back up we know that's probably not gonna happen! 2. all games would have to be played at night as much as folks in the south love Football I cant imagine anyone sitting inside JHS or BDS on a hot June/July afternoon in near 98-100 degree heat risking heatstroke just to watch Auburn and Alabama blowout a cupcake 78-0 3. this would most likely mean a shortened season (which may happen anyway!) but instead of Auburn/Alabama Auburn/Georgia Alabama/LSU or even Ohio State/Michigan happening in November those games would probably be held in late July/early August and where would that leave bowl games and championship games! well im guessing that would place them in mid August/early September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Let's say it's mid-summer and the COVID-19 is losing punch and it's safe to get out and it's safe to be with people again, would the NCAA push opening day to the first Saturday in October?

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 As crazy as this sounds I think that they would even think about starting it in mid August. Brutal. Right now I would say everything is on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,846 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 So I’m apolitical...truly...don’t give a flyin rip. But what about a virus is political? I just don’t get it. This thing eats people...because we are people. It doesn’t care the capital letter beside the President’s name or on what side of the aisle you sit. For that matter, the countries that have done the best at containment have violated personal freedoms, commanded isolation or in some cases flat out lied to make it look better. My opinion, but right now we need to be Americans and quit pointing fingers and start pulling together for humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
