I'm really curious how that plays out. Iowa already cut 4 programs, will be interesting if they reverse course and reinstate those. I would hope so.

TuscanyTile2 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 How would the playoffs work if some teams are playing in the fall while others in the spring? Or is it only going to be conference championship games this year and then the season ends with no postseason? Or maybe they have a limited number of bowl games? And if teams play in the spring, are they going to come right back and play in the fall again? So weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole spring thing was just kicking the can down the road to delay actually having to make a decision. You’ll have a playoff if the Big10 plays in the fall.

Undefeated mid-majors still have relatively no shot at getting in so I am pretty sure the NCAA will concoct some other sham system to accommodate the current environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh these big schools print money as it is. Granted this is all political but the presidents and chancellors seem to be digging in and know they won’t be fired. I think there has been some realization however that these decisions are starting to backfire optics wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 That whole situation reeks!!! So what changed in the last 2-3 weeks that now they are willing to play???

freestater Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm no fan of 45, but I even gave Gase credit for getting rid of Macc. If he can bring back BigTen football, then great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post docdhc Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 SEC and ACC might get away with it but there is a real risk of myocarditis ( inflammation of the heart) with Covid. 12 cases of college football players have gotten it already and it can be a life altering condition. I just wish science and medicine rather than money and politics were driving the decisions but I know that is naive. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestater Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I simply don't see how postponing the season to a time when everyone has to perform all activities in indoor facilities versus outdoor stadiums is an improvement. I'm absolutely positive that asking a college football player to play 18 games in 10 months us ridiculous and instantly discredits any claim that they care about player health and safety. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSNY Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I cannot understand why they are willing to put kids health and safety above money and pressure. If the presidents of these schools truly believe that it is in the best interest of all concerned then have the courage of your conviction to stand up against any outside influences. It won’t kill them to wait a year but it truly may kill people if they don’t 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
