The 2020 College Football Season

[MililaniBuckeye]

There's some tasty tears already being cried about the B1G not playing as many conference games as the SEC or ACC this year.

We have to play the games first before they can start crying...

According to Heather Dinich, that guy talking near the hot mic is the head of the overall University system in Nebraska, and is not the voting member for the B1G, whose name is Green.

Looks like B1G football is back on the menu, boys (and girls)

Oh boy...the shutdown threshold of 5% positivity rate on a team is going to make things very, very dicey. That's what, like 5 or 6 players?

Great question.

Is it 5% of the scholarship players or 5% including walk-ons?

If the latter, time to pack the roster with guys who test negative and are willing to be quarantined until the end of the season.

This might be why they're waiting 5 weeks before they start playing. Let any positive tests run its course and perhaps come season time hopefully it won't be an issue.

And games have been being played for 3 weeks and there haven't been any outbreaks we're hearing of. Perhaps naive optimism, but I think it will work out.

8 games in 8 weeks is a tall task. I don't understand why they threw out the Oct 17th start date? They can be ready in 4 werks. 8 games in 9 weeks with a built in bye for everyone week 5 to allow for an outbreak on a team or re-schedule if needed sounded ideal given the circumstances.

They have to get a certain number of practices in before they can play.

Didn't Texas Tech have a major outbreak. As did Memphis?

Didn't Texas Tech have a major outbreak. As did Memphis?

Both teams are 1-0 and postponed their games this week due to quarantine.

I am trying to be an optimist, but the cynic in me says there are two ways for the naysayers to play this.

First is to say No - but the push back was too great for the cowardly.

Second was to agree to a plan that can't succeed.

Unless this plan allows things to move forward even if a few games can't be played simple carelessness or even sabotage from one of 14 could end it all.

Some self-important people are proud right now.

(I really hope this is a bit, hard to say)
