Do sports, and more specifically NCAAB, return?

They're meeting about what they can do to ensure Notre Dame joins the ACC fully.

The B1G ADs. That was a joke.

There are massive repercussions to not cancelling. Are schools going to leave themselves open to potential lawsuits if athletes get sick during the season and suffer long-term health issues? The research is starting to show some scary stuff just a few months after exposure.

I am SO shocked.

Season near collapse long before it can get started. It was a bad idea.

If football is played in the Spring semester, what does that do to hoops?

Big if.

I still say the upcoming season is a wash.

Summer?

[budwom]

as the Brooklyn Dodgers used to say, wait til next year. Spring football creates a ton of problems, plus it's far from clear that a vaccine will be widely available enough by then to permit it.

First get a vaccine, stick it in as many arms as we can, then we can talk about the next football season.

Just hoping for basketball at this point.

Reports that Big 10 football will be cancelled tomorrow on a 12-2 vote, with Nebraska and Iowa the holdouts.

Pac-12 too.

that sounds about right. Perhaps the SEC and Big 12-ish will try to muddle on...

I have gone from voting for a July sports return to thinking we won't have basketball at all.

Will the ACC be split North-South on this issue? Or maybe the split is more urban outlook versus rural outlook with Va. Tech, NCSU, Clemson and FSU wanting to play but the rest preferring not to play.

I imagine duke will be hopping off the train wreck at the earliest stop.

It is a hot mess. And getting worse.

I'm surprised that they're even seriously talking about football in a spring. When has the NCAA ever displayed the kind of flexibility necessary for that sort of change, especially in a sport where schools sometimes schedule non-conference games over a decade in advance?

Well,this is clearly unprecedented territory for many reasons. No one want to play Spring football, unless the alternative is no football. Much like no one wants to lose weeks of the season, or eliminate no conference games - it's all just punting the final decision a few weeks further and further


I suspect it's all academic anyway. I don't see college sports happening in any fashion this academic year.

I could maybe see college basketball getting a delayed start, and then that becoming permanent after everyone realizes a later start is better for the sport anyway. Maybe. I suspect your scenario is more likely.
