What happens if fall schedule is cancelled in the middle?  
 

Start all over in the Spring? 
 

This is a mess.

Those are past champions but none were awarded by the NCAA. I'm assuming they have a website that shows past champions because all winners are members of the NCAA. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is ran by the conferences; the BCS was run by the conferences. Prior to 1998, champions were awarded by the AP, UPI, and other news agencies. At no point in the history of college football has the NCAA crowned a champion or awarded a trophy for a Division I football champion.

Even it is just on the NCAA website,  they could ignore what the southern schools do in the fall against their wishes, and only “recognize” what happens in the BIG10 and PAC12 in the Spring since it’s all mythical.

NCAA doesn't crown a Division I football champion. College Football Playoff is a consortium of conferences that together crown a champion following a playoff they operate themselves.

So two national championships and the NCAA can put both on the website.

Won’t they win the Spring National Championship then?  
 

NCAA brass isn’t supporting the SEC, ACC, and BIG12 having a fall season. Buckeyes may be the only honored champion.

I asking out loud if there are any connections between The Rona and violent crime skyrocketing in many places. My gut feeling says there is but who knows.

Maybe if we opened everything up, let everyone earn a living again, and cracked down on violent criminals there would be a lot less crime period.

may be a back log of beef.  Some people never forget.  

Also I would say the national championship goes through ACC and SEC, so whatever happens this fall will be accurate if it happens.  
 

Problem is if CFB gets shut down once, twice,  etc... the BiG 10 or PAC12 may win a national championship in the Spring.

Good thing the CFP would finish in 2021!

I’m gonna say he’s talking about those too.  

NCAA president says no championships in 2020. 

Practice can start when in-person school is safe. 

6 games: district and extras needed.  
Top 2 go to playoffs. 
If that starts Oct. 1, Nov. 1,  Dec. 1, etc so be it. 

I just can’t see sports while school can’t be in session.

So yeah ...

I’m sure it’s just me, but doesn’t it feel like the South is approaching the idea of playing college football the same way the it approached everyday life in a pandemic?

137% increase in pediatric cases in the last month.  I think that number is around 90% nationwide. 

Imagine these numbers when school starts. 

If we do not do what other countries have done we can copy and paste this thread for next year.  
 

Denial is why we are where we are.  

No to thread question.

You’re guess is as good as mine. I have no idea how this would work as far as voting goes. I have no idea about the logistical aspect of teams moving to and playing games against another conference. I have no idea how any of this would work. 

Hypothetical situation:  

These teams are contractually obligated.  Nebraska plays in the Big 12 this year.  Does the money they make go to the Big 12 or the Big 10?

This could be any team and may be a non issue, but money seems to always be the biggest issue.

I think we’ll see more than just those 3 schools. I think it will be pretty obvious what schools vote yes. OSU, Mich, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Penn State will vote yes. The rest of the conference I would think would be at best 50/50. Maryland, Rutgers, Northwestern, and Michigan State are almost assuredly in the no column. Purdue, Indiana, and Illinois would be the swing votes I would imagine. 

I can't see it being 7-6.  Wouldn't this have to be near unanimous to be effective?  I'd hate to be on either side.   

We have to do what other countries have done to be able to play any sports.  If we don't do that we can just copy and paste this entire thread.  

If I'm OSU, I vote with Iowa and Nebraska to save face.  😆

I just think that if we really think we’re keeping kids from spreading this by not playing sports we are living in a dream world since all these kids hang out and go to parties where they have a lot closer contact then playing sports but it seems to me that they won’t be playing sports.

That's not under the liability of schools.  Students do a lot of things at home they can't do at school.

Demanding percentages of revenue is not going to get them on the field. Period. 

Anybody think canceling the season is a move to show players you need us more than we need you?  

Just a hypothetical:  if amateur athletes get sick which we know will happen, because the pros can’t keep it out, doesn’t that strengthen the player’s bargaining case?  

Kentucky is going in the wrong direction for any of this to happen. 

Colleges make billions off of high profile college athletes, and overvalue the education they give for “free.”  Some may even be using some federal Education funds to prop up these scholarships.  
Players are being fleeced as well as Americans.

Time to compensate players it’s obvious they can’t operate without these kids paying the bills.

Each question seems to engender ten more. 

This 100%. 

(which some of us have been screaming on here since the beginning of this thread)

Anybody who is participating in trying to open a school at this time can't get their mind wrapped around fall sports.

A false equivalency!?  LOL

Does that include the cashiers at Big-Box stores?  Does it include the cashiers and baggers at grocery stores?  Does that include the waiters, hostesses, and bus boys at restaurants?  Does that include every job every child does for a small business or large corporation?

Hey kids!  The adults say you can work to enrich them but you can't go to school!

On tangent here, at my local Kroger I would say roughly a third of the employees consistently do not wear their mask correctly.  

By all means send the kids home from work, but to say a teenager’s work environment is a safer environment than teenager’s school environment is the false equivalency.
