Can you imagine what will happen this fall when the power 5 football conferences put pressure on the

NCAA to let them play football? They will want their rich alums to be able to come tailgate, get drunk and write checks. I love football, really love it, but I can't imagine a scenario where it will be safe to play in September can you? I think the pressure on the NCAA will be TERRIBLE. The money to be lost is enormous!

Plus lots of the power schools are in bright red areas with crazy Trumpers in the stands. I can already see it on football message boards, they don't believe it would be unsafe to play. The liberals "hate college sports", they want "all of us to be snowflakes like them". It is pretty bad already.

1. September is a lifetime from now

A lot of predictions haven’t happened as exactly as predicted. I think one day at a time is best we can do.

2. Late August, even, would be the normal start time. Even that is a ways off, so who knows?

I did hear on Gary Parrish's college basketball podcast recently that one idea that was floating around was to delay the college football season till January... and delay the basketball season till January as well so that they run concurrently. I rather like that for the idea that we could potentially have the Final 4, the FBS playoffs, and the championships in both sports all within a weekend or two. But college football in January and February would be tough to do in a lot of parts of the country. And if the NFL is playing at the same time in this scenario, televising college games gets complicated.

3. I'd say the odds of college campuses actually reopening this fall

are not so great. So they're not going to open just to accommodate the football team. At least I hope not.

4. Our campus has already told us we will be back on campus in August.

So has OSU and the small college in Edmond Oklahoma.

5. Thank you for that information.

But if there's another big wave mid-summer, all bets are off.
