1. Play a reduced season in the Fall with little to no fans in attendance and an unknown postseason.

2. Play a full season with full attendance starting Feb 6, 2021...the Saturday before the Super Bowl, with a full postseason.

NOTE: Let's pretend college football minimizes the social justice warriors for conversation's sake.

The thought of watching a noon kickoff in Neyland, and then heading on down to TBA for a 7pm tip off sounds almost heavenly.

I say #1
I want football this year, but this will affect the next few years of football. The kids need some recovery time, and 2 full football seasons back to back will have more injuries than normal. Remember spring is only 3-4 weeks long. That’s only a quarter of a season. That’s a lot of stress to put on their bodies.

Only if Trump doesn't win in November. If he wins there will be more pandemics, riots in the streets, book and statue burnings and CHOP type settlements in every city which will prevent any type of sporting events except women’s soccer.

I personally think they could start Feb 6 and end in mid-May...then possibly start the 2021 season in late Sept/early Oct. Then get back to the normal schedule in 2022.

That would be for the spring of 2021.

That would make up for what we had in the spring of 2020:

No Basketball, no baseball....no girls softball and no volleyball, no soccer and

no Little league.......no golf...no proms and no graduations..

And will the teams players start joining the riots ??

Saban has already joined to try to throw trump out of office by working to elect joe manchin who promptly tried to stop the will of the voters by voting to impeach and throw trump out of office

So football as we know it is hanging by a thread because of insane greed

Even the NFL is taking big risks by being democrats instead of being patriotic

Since the NFL s players life span is just 55 why be an organization that brings down people’s life span plus being against patriots

No people is clearly hanging by a thread ..soon maybe no more !!

2

Football without fans or reduced fans would feel like an exhibition/scrimmage/spring game to me. While I would certainly still watch, the whole season would really feel meaningless and would forever have a “this was not a real season” asterisk.

Spring football would be impossible for me to try and make work. Give me option 1.

1. I have no interest in spring football. That is basketball/baseball season. The AAFL/XFL made this clear to me.

ETA

We will have to consider no football this year, and I am fine with that. Universities need to refocus on what their purpose is, which is education. We are moving to a semi-professional model and that is not good.

Neither

Scratch 2020 and start fresh in the fall of 2021.

Football on all levels. Just go ahead and zap it now. No sense prolonging the inevitable.

Then you must truly not understand the financial impact that missing an entire football season will have. While basketball should survive, you can probably kiss many baseball programs goodbye...along with tennis, golf, swimming, track, soccer and most women's sports. If Title 9 is not modified, then you can pretty much say so long to every men's non-revenue sport. Without football revenue, most non-power 5 athletic departments will greatly suffer as will some power 5.

ETA: Do you really think you can compare college football to the AAF or XFL? While I enjoyed both because I love football, the popularity of college football BLOWS those away. Not to mention, we are talking about one season, not a permanent change.
