EVA Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I certainly don’t want to kick dirt on anybody’s grave, but there’s probably some poetic justice to Auburn winning the last Iron Bowl he ever got to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 And Connecticut has officially cancelled their football season.

EVA Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Edsall was probably going to get fired after this season, so you know why he was all about player safety all the sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The B1G schedule is out. Ohio State/Michigan is Oct. 24th, a tacit acknowledgement that the season probably isn’t going to make it until Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Seeing how badly baseball is playing out, even with much smaller rosters and more controlled environments, I don't see any way CFB makes it long, if it starts at all. The level of lunacy is sometimes almost comical. It's hard to know whether some of these schools are fooling themselves, or they know they're screwed and are just trying to make things sound good. Texas, like a lot of other schools, is still planning for half full stadiums. Meanwhile, they've told the students that parties, whether on campus or off, are banned. I kind of assume that they realize there will be at least a thousand violations of that before school even starts, but I dunno. This is the same bunch that list me as having an engineering Bachelor of Arts degree on my official transcript, so maybe they actually believe the students are gonna comply. Also, I assume what's going on in the Pac-10, Idaho, Colorado State, etc is just about the NCAA's worst nightmare. The players are waking up and realizing that they might actually be able to change the system. No idea how it will play out, but this feels different from the past where the all powerful NCAA held all the cards.

Zimbra Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Quote Facing revenue loss, Badgers ask fans to donate football season ticket money Well that's a really good idea. There are a lot of charities that could probably use that mon- Quote The University of Wisconsin athletic department acknowledged Wednesday that fans won't be able to use the football season tickets they've already secured for a 2020 season that remains in question. But the Badgers, facing a revenue loss of at least $60 million this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, are appealing to fans to let them keep that money as a donation. Oh. No thank you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Raul is Tagovailoa is eligible to play at Maryland this year, presuming there are any games to be played. Excited to see him play, but I have no idea how he qualified for a transfer waiver. He explicitly transferred for playing time.

RIPPA Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 There will be no FCS playoffs in the fall as now less than 50% of the eligible teams are participating in the Fall (The 50% was a mandate from the NCAA) The Big Sky and Pioneer Football League each announced today they won't have Fall participation which is what pushed the number lower than the threshhold It is possible everything will still be shifted to the Spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
