No MACtion: Postponing till Spring

This is disturbing from the perspective that the MAC Is one of the largest, most viable G5 conferences. If they don’t see a way forward, it’s not a good sign. The counter argument is that they pretty much tied their fortunes to the B1G financially, and when the B1G yanked the rug out from under them by going all conference, they had nowhere to turn. I’m a little surprised that the G5 leagues consisting of the MAC, the Mountain West, CUSA, the Sun Belt and the AAC didn’t try to band together to salvage their out of conference slate. It might not pay the same, but it could cut the losses some.

It really depends.. I do see a lot of law suites coming from that also. Make no mistake the teachers union who I don’t agree with is hoping for a good case.. especially since they feel they were forced back to teach. I can promise law suites are coming once school starts back, I have talked to many liberal teachers who the union has said to document everything and they are building a case also. I have even gotten emails on it.. which I reply frick you..lol
The only out the NCAA might have is the players have a option to opt out.. that might save them in court. But a lawyer will still try to find some way the school didn’t follow rules or ignored some case.. something stupid thing like that.

I totally agree... I thinks it’s BS. But I also couldn’t believe that families of Sandy Hook could sue Remington and Supreme Court upheld it. Crazier law suits have happened. I honesty didn’t think players could ever sue for head injuries in a sport that you wear a helmet. I figured that was kinda common sense that came with the game. I feel like some where we could sue Nike for the ACL injuries..lol But in all seriousness I think the same about the teachers union.. how can they prove the teach got COVID at school

There shall be many a book that makes its appointed rounds when once the dust clears on COVID-19. It has exposed the ugly underbelly of social inequities, put a magnifying glass, the size of the Hubble, on the great divide we call our insane political system. I think college football fans are about to see another chapter in that book about where it all went wrong.

If no football season becomes a real thing, Universities, and their excessive spending is going to come home to roost. Bills will quickly come due for all the schools that went all Hollywood. From the super plush stadiums and sports facilities on campus to locker rooms that look like they were patterned after your favorite 5-star Caribbean resort. If the American family lives from paycheck to paycheck, then college football has been living from bowl season to bowl season.

Coming up snake eyes on our favorite sport is going to expose some serious budgeting issues across America folks. There are a lot of fat cats in high places who will be feeling the pinch and then some. I suspect for a lot of big boy Universities it will feel more like open-heart surgery without the anesthesia. Maybe Trump can sign another stimulus.
