jdgaucho Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think there will be a season. But not the full 12, 13 game schedules. OOC games are not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headbutt Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Did you read that an unnamed AD wants to cancel the season in the fall, and play it in the spring? As crazy as that sounds, it might be a possibility. Logistical issues for sure, but might be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Fun Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think college sports are way more likely to get canceled because they have the extra variable of campus being closed. Oklahoma just closed their campus until at least July 31st. Rutgers until August 14th. I'm sure there are others and more will follow. The pro leagues have the advantage that if they get really desperate, they can gather everyone up and live/practice/play at neutral sites. Can't do that with college athletes.

ridgeview2 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 We will still have college football, but it might be a shortened season. We will however have NFL. There's no way in hell that Goodell will cancel the NFL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffkills Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hopefully, the political chips fall in place rapidly, and a vaccine is produced, which totally negates the virus... No BSU and no Cowboys pushes that line juuuust enough for me to lose my shit.. We need a hero.. ...I'm sure Kellen will think of something......

happycamper Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Not a full season at least. If there's a winter resurgence could see a no ooc, no bowl year. And that's one of the good outcomes. Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

kingpotato Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 That would suck if the year Boise has the biggest home game in program history in Florida State gets cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowl Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 If it’s in the fall they may have games but there won’t be anyone in the stands. Most likely in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much going on, too much progress being made for me to not be optimistic about fall football. Folks like to compare this to the Spanish Flu of 1918. That was 100 years ago. We've come so far since then. Not that they would have made a difference, but antibiotics were just a concept in 1918. This is 2020, we've got this. I see so many stories of so much progress that I can't yet buy into the narrative that Covid won't be under control by August. Their are a ton of reasons to believe we'll have things under control in time. I'd hate to try and predict the conditions that football will be played under, but the rush to normalcy will be overwhelming enough long before then that I really believe the season will happen.

Love your optimism. I think it all depends on the rebound effect once the initial surge tapers off. No one really knows what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV147 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I think we will. Yes. Probably without fans, but people are starving for live sports on TV. I bet that the 2020 NFL Draft will be get as high of ratings as the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re talking about a vaccine by the fall, that is an impossibility. There’s no miracle that can change that fact. Hell, stage 3 alone would probably take longer than the amount of time between now and fall, and we might not have even reached that stage. That said, it’s infeasible that life won’t start back up at least by the end of the summer. We can’t shut everything down until a vaccine is developed. It’s just not realistic. You’re talking late summer 2021 AT THE EARLIEST. So yes, I am predicting college football in 2020 with fans in the stands. I’ll even be bold and say a full schedule unless an individual school cancels games. Is it fitting or irony that possibly the most versatile word in the English language is also of unknown origin?
