We shouldn't need leadership to tell us to wear a mask in public right now.
Sigh. When the president of the United States leads the charge against science and masks, there is leadership. It’s negative leadership. There are people who believe djt when he says that testing is the only reason for positives. There are people who see djt say “masks are probably a good idea” even though he is rarely seen wearing a mask. There are people who believe your statement about the need to wear masks is a conspiracy against trump.
This could push Notre Dame into a conference. I don't assume it will be the ACC.
If that happens, dominos will start falling.
I wonder if Army and Navy might get sticky with the B1G after this.
July 26 is the first domino - that's when the bonus unemployment benefit ends.
Then there's a slew of various temporary provisions that are set to expire over August & September.
Evictions start again (various dates late July through late Sept in different states/cities)
Foreclosures start again (again various dates)
Lender accommodations on interest & payments expire.
Unless they're extended, vanilla unemployment benefits (forget about the bonus payments) will start expiring for folks who were laid off in March during the first week of September. Those two weeks when 15 million made their initial claims on unemployment back in mid-late March - their benefits expire mid-late September. So unless we somehow come up with 15 million jobs in the next 8 weeks...
Last, and while less important than the above, more significant than a lot of people realize, student loan interest and payments resume Oct 1.
This fall is going to be a very rough stretch.
And just think, none of that even considers the possibility of a 2nd wave of Covid.
We're going to need football just to have something, anything to distract us.
That's part of what I'm talking about.

I can't control them. All I can control is my own actions-and its my firm belief that wearing a mask in public where I can't physically distance from people is the right thing to do. If every American thought like that, we'd have this **** under control. I'm not hesitating to criticize people who refuse to wear masks because it "impinges on their rights"

I see no way CFB is played within these NCAA guidelines this fall. The P5 document is equally daunting.

Mnuchin has already signaled the admin is open to an extension of the bonus UI. Six states among the top 15 in the country (Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Louisiana) per the CDC are home to Republican senators running for re-election. I'd be pretty surprised if the next COVID relief bill doesn't include an extension of that at a smaller number than the 600 (400? That's gotta be at a flat rate to accomodate the COBOL programming that all of that is based on).
True. With that said, the older generation is much more alert to the risks now and are being much more careful (in general) than the younger generations. I know my parents have changed their public patterns drastically for fear that they might become more easily exposed. Of course that can cause other problems (like depression).
Need more money, not just more time. Basically they need to extend new PPP loans to everybody who got one already because those businesses have already gone through that money and they’re not back to business as usual again.
“When we made the extremely difficult decision to cancel last spring’s championships it was because there was simply no way to conduct them safely,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement. “This document lays out the advice of health care professionals as to how to resume college sports if we can achieve an environment where COVID-19 rates are manageable. Today, sadly, the data point in the wrong direction. If there is to be college sports in the fall, we need to get a much better handle on the pandemic.”

I question whether guidance from the NCAA has any applicability in the context of a conference-only football season.

I question whether guidance from the NCAA has any applicability in the context of a conference-only football season.
It is an NCAA sanctioned and sponsored sport, although the NCAA does not sponsor a championship for D-I FBS. If the NCAA decides it is not possible to safely conduct sports, or certain sports, I would think most conferences would go along with that ruling. Emmert is basically saying there will not be fall college sports with our current trends.
I agree most conferences would go along with NCAA guidance. However, I also believe that the conferences with the most at stake financially, would consider bucking the NCAA guidance if they thought they could pull it off. A B1G or SEC championship is still a B1G or SEC championship regardless of NCAA sanctioning, and, as you pointed out, conference championships are still the highest level sanctioned championship that a team in either of those conferences can obtain under the current system.
I continue to believe there's a small possibility that disagreement over response to Covid could be the impetus that drives the P5 conferences out of the NCAA.

Conferences are not bound to accept the NCAA guidance released yesterday. The P5 conferences are expected to release their standardized protocols which will be virtually the same as NCAA’s very soon. Those will be requirements. I just don’t see how a season can be played with these restrictions.
In before accretive...

I think a more likely outcome will be the agreement to appoint a CFB Czar in the bet near future.
I'm not 100% clear what you mean and googling returns varied results. Do you believe this Czar would be employed by the NCAA? by some new coalition of conferences? the government?

It could reside in any of those bodies, except government, in my opinion.
Accountability, authority and leadership would be the hallmarks.
Mack Brown suggesting everyone should be playing by the same rules is glorious
if Brown feels that way he should get out of the ACC and go coach at an FCS school.
Before last season. He is killing it

Oh an extension to me would involve both
Just a rumor at this point but things could get very interesting going forward. 50/50 revenue split is a demand that stands out to me.

Who and what are demands? Covid related? Racial equity issues?
