    People in here acting like the Michigan president said something earth shattering. College football simps clutching their pearls

    of course schools that don’t have their full student body on campus won’t be playing football in the fall. That’s just a nonstarter

    also, i think we have to accept that when sports come back there are going to be positive covid tests. Until there is a vaccine that’s just a fact of life.

    Every school should have a contingency plan to finish the semester online if there is a widespread outbreak. If there are a small amount of cases, the CDC suggest’s closing the affected areas or the whole campus for 2-5 days for cleaning and contact tracing.

    Kickoff time announcements from the TV networks(ABC, FOX, CBS, ESPN) is being delayed 3 weeks. Usually it happens June 1

    Personally I think they’re one in the same. If football was going to start on a normal timeframe, they’d announce kickoff times. But they can’t/aren’t.

    I have a friend who is a coach for an NBA team, they haven’t been told anything as of this week, so take the restart with a grain of salt. They were watching the Euroleague and now that they’ve cancelled the rest of their season, NBA is on their own.

    Could also be an earlier start instead of a delay.

    I agree, but it was speculated recently is a couple of sports podcasts. The chances of it become slimmer with every day that passes with no decision. Personally I favor an early August start to the college academic year and football season so that they can be done by Nov. 1.
    I’m probably the only one who favors this

    They can’t. Nobody knows if any of it will be safe, much less compare an early start vs. a late start. I like it because I have a strong feeling that C19 will almost mirror influenza in it’s seasonality. Thus, getting done by Nov.1 seems like a good idea. The counter argument is “if that seasonality is mostly influenced by people being inside or outside, then it doesn’t matter when you start”.

    Time is the one thing that football has in its corner vs. the other major sports. Giving that up would be counterproductive, to say the least.

    I don't understand if the need not want to resume regular seasons.

    If you're able to figure out how to play, start the playoffs.

    The more time you take and the more game should play, the higher the likelihood of something happening and getting shutdown again.

    think its trying to get players tune up vs a sub-par product if everyones thrown back into full speed playoffs

    obvious alternative is scrimmages/exhibitions but nba might want to leverage $$$$ by considering them regular season for TV purposes

    I guess, but it's almost June. NBA preseason starts in October. You are going to be running up against that soon. Idk if the lack of off-season and pushing back next season or whatever they end up doing is worth it. Figure out a way to crown a champ quickly, and then figure out how to start next season safely and keep it going without a shutdown.

    Plus, there aren't any sports on. I'm sure they can figure out how to get money for some of the playoff games that typically would be on regional stations on national TV

    Cancel the non-conference slate, start the season 4 weeks later, make each team play 9 conference games, finish the season on time. No fans, pump in noise like the Bundesliga is doing.

    So keep the students in classes and dorms during what will probably be the major ramp up phase of the virus? Then send them home to their parents?

    Yes, but don't push the season back. Start it same time, or even better, earlier and have it done sooner

    And I'd argue no CCGs, and no bowls outside of the playoffs. Which all three games should probably should be held in the same location

    My concern includes the overall student bodies, university staff, and the families of both, not just the athletes and AD staff. Keeping classes going after November 1 could be a huge mistake.

    I’m not going to tout my #sources, but when a coach said he heard nothing tangible about a restart that was a major red flag. It shows how complicated this all is when you can’t baseline what is acceptable for player, coach, staff and game operations personnel safety.

    We play NFL preseason games and HS Games in August. Just play them at night.

    And there's really not any difference in weather on August 4th or September 4th

    he's got some chuddy reflexes but is in the ballpark of a reasonable take

    (reee Whitmer saying things won't be back to normal without a vaccine! then right after is talking about how the idiots in society need to start thinking about others and incorporating behaviors to help others)

    those are dichotomous positions so just seems like partisan signaling
