Feeling like football is going to get pushed to the spring

I think once the first league makes the move others will follow (Ivy League votes soon). This this is much more likely below the FBS level. Will be interesting if some leagues/divisions opt for Spring and others for fall. Could make for some interesting last minute scheduling and as many programs are financially struggling they could jump at chances for money games.

It’s going to be tough a decision and, like you said, will vary by program. I’ve seen some people suggest if the season were moved to the spring we would possibly only have conference games so that teams could have adequate time off to start the next season in the fall.

If you’re UNT, would you rather have an 8-game schedule with fans or a 12-game schedule with limited fans or no fans at all? Could we fit in any of the non-conference games? We could really use that A&M paycheck. And for the big conferences, yeah they get good TV money but would it be more beneficial to wait if it meant significantly more ticket revenue? So much to get decided here in the next 30-45 days

Hopefully they will wise up and do what baseball is doing and have a regional schedule.  We should be paired with SMU, TCU, Baylor and OU as we could bus to games and it would be safer. 

 

How is a bus safer than an airplane?

Yes. Incrementalism is best. Say you are going to play in the Spring, and then push it to next Fall. As they might say at Marshall, delay the Herd (immunity).

 

GMG

The longer they can drag it out the more donations and season tickets they can sell to offset their losses.  No doubt, this deal is going to be extremely tough on Smatresk and the like.  These million dollar coaching salaries have been insulated based on revenue.  How can a college charge as much when it will all be online???

@BillySee58 Have you heard anything about the number of players dressing out being limited? On one of the Sports talk shows, and I can't remember which, there was mention of capping it somewhere in the 60's

I have heard that likely being the case in NFL camps (sorry, Mason). Not sure about college.

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.

      Agree, there was some semblance of programs doing the right thing and following the rules even though they were always getting busted for violations, and everyone knew cheating was going on. It's why I was saying the veil is off now, and making everyone play by those rules has supercharged the whole thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the schools aren't supposed to work with NIL collectives to get players right? But everyone including UNT is 100% working with these collectives to send out deals to players. Same kind of fake rule following like we used to have, just more of it now.

      I’m not the type who’s going to say, “I’m done with college sports” and that be it. I’m moreso the guy whose interest is just going to wane to the point that I don’t watch anymore. It would actually free up a lot of time that I could be more productive🤣🤣
