2020 CU football season POSTPONED until Nov 6th?

I like how some of you are simultaneously saying the Pac-12 cannot afford to look small time by starting too late while also talking about a whole slate of MWC teams in week one. Yikes.

I'll take CU football any way I can get it (other than playing the goats on halloween-that's not safe).
 
What the hell are they doing on the farm?
"Stanford’s Jacquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir in the past has threatened to take Stanford athletics in a different direction if the University’s athletes went beyond amateurism, including moving the school to another NCAA division. Muir told Congress in 2018 that if Stanford student athletes were allowed to unionize, the school “might opt not to compete at the level we are competing in.

Stanford has the endowment and they have the wealthy donors that if they wanted to simply drop FBS level football they could, and it wouldn't create a huge hit to their budgets.

Similar to the Ivy's they don't need to win football games to stay in the public view or maintain their reputation. Dropping football isn't going to change the number or quality of their applicants or impact their non-athletic funding.

Considering how screwed up the PAC has become, how expensive and complicated things could get if they have to start paying athletes, and some of the other compromises that could entail all while wiping away any remaining veneer of amateurism it wouldn't be a huge shock if 10 years from now they are either FCS using the Ivy league model (no official scholarships but subsidizing athletes with other financial assistance) or simply not playing football.
 
The WA schools, AZ schools, Utah and CU should just get together and start scheduling games. When there's a lack of leadership combined with a lack of cooperation in an organization, sometimes stakeholders have to strike out on their own.

If 6 schools start scheduling games against each other, watch how fast the others will start to fall in line.

Oregon schools and USC are all good to go as well and UCLA quickly changed their tune once it leaked that they were holding things up. It's 100% an issue with the Bay Area now, and maybe more specifically, the academic elites at Stanford throwing a fit.

Can't, it would undo the cultural fit.
 
Friendly reminder that there are 3 CA teams in this conference, including 1 in the Bay Area. 10/24 is their target date for 8 games.



Meanwhile, at Pac 12 HQ...

If he gets too many more notches in that belt, he won’t be able to hang himself with it.

I would like to know which schools president was the one pounding on the table for Larry Scott. There is always one guy who has everyone’s ear. Larry Scott was the one they thought the conference couldn’t live without and at that salary.
 
I swear if the Mountain West starts on the 24th or even the 31st and the PAC hasn't then the PAC will be the laughing stock in college football circles if not already.
