2020 CU football season POSTPONED until Nov 6th?

I wonder if the NCAA will give players an extra year of eligibility if the season is canned. I wonder how that would work with scholarships and all that good stuff as well. Seems like it might get kinda complicated.
 
Funny how the conferences seemingly waited for one to make a move before they proceeded to announce some plans of their own.

Well not a bad year to get out of non con road games at A&M and CsU.

WRONG! Roadie to College Station was on my calendar, and it was going to be glorious to see another Buff victory at Kyle Field. Plus, I was looking forward to seeing the upgraded stadium (and sample Aggie BBQ).

I agree. When Texas is saying HS football won't happen and they canceled the Texas State Fair (Red River Showdown is tied to that), I have trouble believing that there's anything close to a plan which could rationalize having people attend college football games. It's just not safe and the fan interest in taking the risk is too low for the financials to justify the public health risk.
 
I think it makes a lot of sense. You can implement universal testing and monitoring policies on your member schools, be more flexible with your scheduling, reduce the number of games by 2 so get more bye weeks and luckily most of the pac 12 universities are part of the pacific coalition group on covid research and regulations. Might as well just announce it now.

Yep. And there’s no reason to cancel everything right now and it’s perfectly reasonable to take a staged approach as there’s still time but there’ll be a day by which they’ll need to make a decision on whether there’ll be football at all this fall and that day is not that far off and I’d say it’s July 31.

August 31 is also workable for conferences that don't play early in conference games. But at some point it may just get so obvious that this isn't possible that they throw their hands up and cancel so they can begin planning for spring.

I view it similarly to casinos. When the casinos shut down again in a few months, you know it’ll be dire.
