I think nearly all teams are going to go to camp to start the season on time (even the Cali teams). The only exceptions may be BC or Northwestern b/c they are close to major hotspots (thankfully no college football in NYC).Good read, shows how there should be a commissioner of college football for the big conferences. I dont know if he wasnt quote-worthy or just kept his mouth shut (what I think) but Sankey was only quoted once in the article. No need to provide speculative fodder to the media. The timing sounds right about practices potentially starting on July 15th which is the deadline that UF has announced for publishing their plans for the Fall.
Still overall positive that there is going to be some type of season in the fall.

From what I here they are voting for the 1st or 15th of June. I'd do 15th. Get that extra two weeks of caution.Will the 2020 college football season be canceled? Coaches, ADs weigh possibility and impact
In my humble opinion, it’s still way too soon to make a decision. Who knows what the pandemic will be like in September? Hopefully by summer this is under control, and teams will be able to practice. Then, if necessary, play without crowds (and cancel games if really necessary).
Name and town if you wish to opine.
I agree. I don't know what that line is halfway through the logo. Is that supposed to separate the somewhat dumb part of Mississippi from the really dumb part of Mississippi?It took me a couple minutes to figure out what school was next to USCe...what the hell is that?!? Is that Ole Miss’ new logo? As Charles Barkley would say, that’s turrible.
@Ancient ReptileI agree. I don't know what that line is halfway through the logo. Is that supposed to separate the somewhat dumb part of Mississippi from the really dumb part of Mississippi?
Yeah, it appears that you and Swonkey have a point. A cell phone study was done to see which states had their citizens staying at home. Turns out Mississippi was the absolute worst. Our citizens were running around all over the place. Dumb rednecks. Dumb as some posters on this board who don't believe in this lockdown baloney. @Swamp DonkeyI agree. I don't know what that line is halfway through the logo. Is that supposed to separate the somewhat dumb part of Mississippi from the really dumb part of Mississippi?
During the 1918 pandemic, fans evidently put on their masks and soldiered through. The Ghosts of Football Past are looking down at us now.
Dooley is a fat twat. Once a vaccine is available, it will be business as usual.
Your likely college football future. There will be at least 3 asterisk seasons, no fans in the stands. Also, each week it will be a game time decision, which players can compete, based upon test results. In the case of 3 or more positive players, expect the whole team to be out. As testing is far from being completely foolproof or robust, so far, too many false positives and false negatives. 3 or more positives on a team, you will not know who precisely is shedding virus. There are 14 SEC teams, figure 25,000 to 75,000 season holders for each conference team. That is over half a million people paying $1500 and up for the costs of a season. I have for years. You need to balance being optimistic with realistic. Next 3 years will be different. This game means too much to too many, it will be back. But it won't be the same in the short term. If I have an expertise, it is this. It is what I studied, and I worked in this industry for 37 years.Perhaps not, but if a lot of regular fans don't return some of us who would not go due to the expense and crowds will. I think that the press box should be converted to suites with one for the game announcers, the rest should be available to groups.
