So MW football sch pretty much set then (well if we try to have a spring season...)

Recommended Posts

based off oversight committee (8 game season, end by 4/17)

 1/4/21-bring football players back to campus. They start their quarantine+ get first vaccine dose  (guessing there will be a vaccine by then it just might not be the most effective, it also appears the current most likely vaccine needs two doses)

Sometime between 1-11/18 (depending on quarantine guidelines) practices start. Teams get their 15 practices in by 2/5. 

2/6 game 1

2/13 game 2

2/20 game 3

2/27 game 4

3/6 BYE week, gives the MW a chance to play makeup games if needed

3/13 game 5

3/20 game 6

3/27 game 7

4/3 game 8

4/10 BYE week, , gives the MW a chance to play makeup games if needed

4/17 MW champ game + potential make up games (so everyone has a chance to play 8 games)

 

Make up games would be prioritized based off of what will affect the top of the standings. Ie say Fresno has an outbreak and misses week 6 (vs SJSU) and week 7 (@ SDSU). Fresno is 2-4 at the end of week 8, SJSU 3-4, and SDSU 5-2. During the 4/10 bye week Fresno would play @ SDSU as that game could affect who wins the West. Then on 4/17 Fresno would host SJSU (so both teams still get a chance to play 8 games). 

One would assume an outbreak could take out a a team for up to 2 weeks. This sch gives some flexibility to make up those games. Gives 3 weeks to make them up for non MW champ contenders and 2 weeks for champ contenders. 

Skip the bowls as it appears our only potential opponent would be the MAC.

Not going to happen.

Nobody is going to play in the Spring. It just not feasible to schedule winter games. 

What player is going to risk getting injured in the Spring only to not play in the Fall or draft status for the NFL.

Any MW player that is going to get drafted would just opt out of the season. Guessing if you were injured and it caused you to miss two seasons the NCAA would give you a break and give you an extra year (ie those two lost seasons would only count as one lost season of eligibility).

Any players with NFL aspirations would opt out. In most years around 10 guys are drafted. Let’s just say another 10 latch on as UDFAs. So at most we are talking, what? 30 guys would opt out? About 2-3 per team.

Every fall sport athlete is getting an extra year of eligibility. The spring season would just be traveling spring football. A lot of freshmen who normally wouldn’t get a chance for a few years will get to play, coaches will get a look at some close position battles, and I would imagine anyone with an nfl future or even who will be important to the 21 season won’t be out there. It’ll be a bit like the nfl preseason. 

I’ll still watch the hell out of it.

The season would essentially replace Spring camp. Only instead of a few scrimmages there would be 8 games. 

This. To say it can't happen is silly.

To repeat. If the guinea pig conferences pack it in after a few weeks this fall because of COVID breakouts, we won't be playing in the pre-spring and spring. However, if they manage to complete their schedules, we will be playing even with a few players per team opting out.

For San Jose, Fresno, Hawaii, San Diego, UNLV it is. Maybe the warmer weather schools just host all the games. 

Obviously people with NFL dreams will op out. Honestly I think that is why Rice transferred from Fresno. He didn't wanna stick around and wait another year to start take his shot at the NFL. So he transferred to Arky State with hopes of being a late round draft pick or signing with NFL team post draft. A Spring season would have done Rice no good. He would have either had to skip it all or leave half way through to get ready for NFL draft/undrafted free agent hopes. 

And if you are saying there is no Spring football season you are also saying the MW will not play ANY sports this academic year. Why? Well even with conference only and an 8 game season that still gives the MW 49 (48 conference games, 1 conference champ game) games that can be put on tv. Guessing that would allow them to still get a large portion of their 20/21 tv money. Plus in the Spring there is a decent change many states with allow some fans (ie more money for the schools). If the MW doesn't play football they will not play ANY sports (including men's basketball) this academic year.

There are those who say “not going to happen,” and there are those who make it happen.

It better happen. Cause if it doesn't that means there is also going to be no college basketball (at least for the MW) this year.

They are not going to have to pack it in. 2-3 teams in each conference will suffer an outbreak and that will basically eliminate them from the conference championship contention. They rest will get lucky and have no major outbreaks. Just look at the MLB. A few outbreaks but in general most games are being played.

You could throw Albuquerque into that mix as well. Early spring in Albuq isn't all that bad. Might get the occasional snow storm, but it never too much, and doesn't stick around very long with the near constant sunshine we get around here (310 days +/- a year).Temps in early spring wouldn't be any worse than the temps Boise has during their potato bowl game anyway.

What you said. Out of the box thinking will allow for a February through April season.

1. Everybody has a "spring" camp, don't they? Use those 12 weeks as a substitute for spring camp as SalinasSpartan said.

2. Plan on starting the season on Saturday, February 6 and ending it on Saturday, April 24.

3. Everybody would have two bye weeks.

4. Have UNM, Hawaii, the three California schools and UNLV host the other six schools during the first half of the season while giving each of the latter six a bye week during that time. Reverse that during the second half of the season. (Any small glitches could be worked out by, for example, using the bye weeks as game days in some manner.)

5. There would be no conference championship game but so what? The champion would be decided by the season records. In the event of a tie for first, whichever team defeated the other during the season would get the coveted Rocky Long Winning-the-Title-of-the-Conference-Matters-More-Than-Anything-in-the-World Championship Trophy. If there was a 3-way tie for first, declare all three the champions of the Pea6 football world.

so you want these kids to play 20 games in 10 months? Ouch...

What’s posted above isn’t happening.   There’s not going to be D1 football in the spring.  They’ll say things now to keep hope alive but it makes zero sense from any angle.  There is literally zero good reason to play in the winter/spring.

A month ago, I was 100% in that camp.  Now I'm beginning to wonder  It might happen.

What’s changed though? CV situation has improved, other sports are figuring it out.  If you’re trying to avoid illness choosing to move the season to the sickest time of the year still doesn’t make sense; any Upperclassmen player that remotely wants to pursue nfl dream ( any d1 player pretty much) would opt out.  It won’t get picked up by tv (schedule set with other sports) and no playoffs, no bowls..
