Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?
- Thread starter BIG ERN
- Start date
i would guess not attending school would make all the players all ineligible, as not every class could be on line attendance.
even the NFL will struggle......imagine every week someone will be on the unable to perform list with co void.

Well maybe but until we have the important data released (actual infection rates across the entire population) it is impossible to tell.
It may well be that the mortality
rate is very very low and all the shutdown / social distancing / etc was basically for naught. By fall it may be that 65% or more of population has already had the virus. That will make all the fuss over trying to contain the spread useless and fiscally stupid beyond all comprehension. The med “experts” who drove the bus into the grand canyon economically will never be believed / trusted again.

I would say late September would not be a bad start time if they needed to extend it. No fans is probably what will happen for safety measures. Recruits may be allowed but would not be able to be on the sideline during the game. This is of course a way too early prediction but I just do not see them starting the season on time.
I think they will play a 10 game season which leaves one OOC game.. They have a few weeks to play with in December and can move back CCG if needed. Won't affect much because there will be no fans anyway. Maybe ESPN crew will divide up and cheer.

I see it’s already been posted, but this makes me think it’s not gonna happen. Probably for the best since it looks like infections rates aren’t slowing and the death toll as reported is lower than it most likely is.

I think if this is an indication of anything, it's that it's more likely going to be a conference by conference, regional decision. For example, the SEC probably has some form of a season given the approach we are already seeing in the South.

exactly what would be expected of a chicken sheet org like NCAA. Try to stay away from the fire as though its none of their responsibility yet they have all the power and say so over member schools and athletes.

Moved a bunch of posts that were no longer really discussing Husker Football to the existing COVID-19 thread.

Scheduling is going to be a nightmare, even if it's conference by conference. Let's say New Jersey and Maryland go online only. They won't be playing any football.
