Tech and UVA play similar schedules nearly every year. As is usual with ballcoach, his opinions are completely biased and not reality.

Politics and fear are what's controlling society and now college sports. And IMO, the conference only route is largely for keeping as much of the gate and tv revenues in house should games have to be canceled. Otherwise what's the real difference in playing 2-3 less games? I believe we'll have football this academic year, and the worst case scenario is that they'll play a conference schedule in the spring. However, I think they'll get at least their conference season in this fall. There's just too much to lose by not having football season.

I do agree with Ballcoach, that the NCAA really dropped the ball on this. They should've got all conferences and divisions on one page with a uniform plan to handle this. Whether it be conference only, shortening the season by weeks, shifting the season so part is played in the fall and part in the spring, or just spring ball. The lack of leadership is deafening.

Literally because they're the P5s. That's inherent in the idea of them scheduling ooc.

Florida, Texas, and California are handling the spike in cases pretty poorly. Coincidently, not much in college football can happen without those states. Those states are the reason why I just can't see the season happening.

We can complain about poltics all we want but i think that is just secondary to trying to keep everybody safe and avoid the liability.

Follow Alex Berenson on Twitter if you want the real data.

[thepostman]

I should've trademarked the phrase "the real data". Seems everybody has their guy. I have 15 different data sets bookmarked and another 4 or 5 accounts followed on twitter that I look at daily. Gives a prettt good picture of how things are. For me, that is better than looking at one place or person. It helps avoid any kind of bias.

Everyone can just look on CDC's website and you'll see that more people are dying from Influenza than Covid-19 in every state. Is the news or Fauchi mentioning that? No, no they're not. The data is there; people are just not looking for it or care.

Don’t we have a separate thread for this crap?

[alabama24]

I’m in the camp where we should be halving a normal season. But it’s all CYA now

So you want only half of the games played? Which ones?

I don't think "spring ball" is an option.

1. Players would sit out for the NFL Draft
2. Not enough recovery time for the next (fall) season.

Junior Colleges are moving to a spring football season

I'm not sure if this is an indicator of things to come but it will certianly change up NCAA recruiting efforts.

Excellent observations.

(spring ball might interfere with softball and baseball season)

Hampton canceled their fall season as well. Anyone hear what the Big South and Southern Conferences are doing? Might be an opportunity to pick up FBS games should the ACC, CUSA, MAC & Sun Belt not stick it to us.

There's not much to stick with the MAC or Sunbelt. CUSA is not that far either.

[ballcoach15]

Sources tell me the ACC is considering a 10 game season with each team playing 5 other teams twice. (home & away). To make this work they will add Notre Dame as the 15th member of the conference.

(John Swofford is more worried about ND, than he is the real ACC schools)

Interesting to note however, is with all these Go5s missing out on their big P5 paydays, they may be just cash strapped enough to accept a last second game in Lynchburg.

Welcome to four days ago.

*Fraudcoach’s speculation regarding ND’s ACC status is his own personal silly opinion

I said this on another post but the more I think about it, it would be a lot of fun to do home and home with the remaining Independents and really build some bad blood and rivalry for future years. Their isn’t a major talent gap with exception of BYU and they aren’t unbeatable. I think for year 3 of FBS this would be a perfect time and actually a benefit for LU in a lot of areas. Could be easy to schedule where every team has alternating home and away games every week and even build in the same bye weeks for all teams.

Could TCU Become Liberty's New Season Opener?

The Forth Worth Star-Telegram is reporting that Alabama, BYU, Liberty, and Texas A&M are all “possibilities” to replace Cal on TCU’s schedule. The Horned Frogs and Golden Bears were scheduled to meet Sept. 5 in Berkeley
