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

The Phoenix mayor can't get enough tests and turned to FEMA, who told her they were out of the testing business. Yeah, optics merge with reality.'We’re Definitely Heading the Wrong Way'

I've played competitive chess since a teenager, well, with a couple of 20 year breaks. Online chess is booming now, from top players to streaming tournaments and other chess related stuff.
Probably. But I've tried watching that stuff and it just does not do it for me.
if csu game doesn't happen there's a part of me laughing inside since lamb fan has had this game circled for the past 10+ years or whenever the contract was originally signed
It's amazing what dominoes had to fall for Bohn to end up with a scheduling contract win on his CU resume.
Crazy like a FUTURE KNOWING FOX!
Hey man, I thank bohn every day for those last two Nebraska games.
And Wilner has been saying for a couple days now the pac will do the same.
This is just kicking the can down the road. We aren't playing football this year.

No non-con also eliminates many of the biggest games of the year IMO. But oh well. I'll be surprised if there's a fall season at all.
I'm not going to Like this post. But it's not wrong either.
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.
It's also a way to extract the most money up front. tOSU-Michigan draws a lot more ratings ($$$) than Indiana-Purdue.
Did Bohn do those or RG? Seems to me Bohn was long gone when those games were announced.
