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.
What is making it a semi- Pro Model?
The players asking for a more fair share or the coaches getting insanely rich
I always thought the latter was the indicator that showed we were moving towards semi professionalism, but the majority of Fans ignored that

I dont enjoy it enough to have spring football. I don't really care about secondary sports, either. If they can't support themselves, who cares. I will be watching spring training, getting ready for MLB, and spring fishing. I have no interest in watching spring CFB.

Your points. The players have a grip. Administration and coaches are the problems.
I would like to see CFB scholarships reduced to 55, and a reduction of sports across the board.

Nothing will different in February compared to October or November. I don’t see why people think the spring is an option better than the fall. They need to just play the games as scheduled with full attendance for those who want to go.
Nothing changes until there a vaccine that’s actually effective AND a certain percentage of the population takes it. That’s not happening by February.

#1 to NOT F*** up the schedules of all spring/summer sports!

Oh, I didn't realize the mandate has already been set in stone. I mean several AD's have said it. I guess that should end the discussion.
Let me guess where those AD's probably work...Oklahoma State, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Texas...
Saying #2 is not possible is absolutely ludicrous. NO ONE here would have believed one year ago today that the NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, PGA, LPGA, WNBA, both pro tennis circuits, NCAA Basketball tournament, College World Series, etc...would just stop and either be completely canceled or postponed for 3-4 months.
To say that it is not possible to play in the spring, but it is possible for most college athletics programs to survive without the revenue generated from just one football season shows a lack of reality.
I'm not saying spring football will happen, but it will happen way before a full football season is just canceled.

I guess you must not know anyone who plays or has a child or relative that plays a non-revenue sport huh? Because, certainly if you did, you wouldn't be so selfish to want them to lose out on that experience, would you?
I have never understood the completely selfish mindset that would want the ELIMINATION of sports or activities just because YOU don't enjoy them. Like the people who hated the AAF and XFL so much, they wanted them to go away. How unbelievably selfish. If you don't enjoy it, then DON'T WATCH. How does them existing negatively impact your life?
I hate the NBA, but I don't want it to go away because there are MANY, MANY people that love it. I just choose not to watch and have no problem with others enjoying it that want to.
Same with MLB. They lost me after the 1994 strike that canceled a World Series and never went back. Despite that, I have no problem with MLB existing because millions still do enjoy it. I just choose not to watch. It's not difficult to avoid.

I didn't read any of that. You asked which scenario is preferred. I picked my choice and gave the reason.

How the hell are you going to play games in Madison, Wisconsin or Ann Arbor or anywhere north of Kentucky in February? Late winter/early spring weather in the US is not conducive to football anywhere. You'll have blizzards in the north in February and thunderstorms complete with tornadoes in March/April all across the Mdiwest and South. It just won't work well.

Not logistically possible - 55 is too low, True Fr out of HS aren't always physically ready for the G5 or P5 Level, in fact to make the game safer overall the CFB needs to expand to 95 schollies for G5 & P5 and then hopefully pulling up that much talent to higher levels will cause DII programs that shouldn't have a FB Team to start with to leave the CFB business and be basketball, baseball and track only schools
For safety reasons you can never have D1A CFB at 55 schollies, in fact the NFL probably needs to expand Rosters to 65 players for safety reasons, have 5 on the practice squad and dress 60 for games

Yeah I’ll take 2.
I’d love to watch LSU and eat crawfish

Yea, that's true. Football has never been played in cold, snowy weather before.

Another excellent point. It's a good thing there has never been spring training or spring football games. And, of course we all know the USFL, AAF and XFL proved it can't be done.
And I'll just save you time and provide your response: "Where are those leagues now" because we all know they all ended strictly because they realized that you can't possibly play football in the late winter/spring. Not because of any other reasons.

quote:Well, if we're talking about pushing the college season back to February, I pretty much guarantee there won't be a Super Bowl that month. "Big-time Football" will be coordinating things, so their timing remains synchronized.
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.
Not only do you have to maintain that because of the interdependency between CFB and the NFL as a business model (providing new talent etc), you also have the social outrage and liability issues. Why is one group pussing out and ruining fan's season, why is the other group arrogantly placing players and fans at undue risk etc.

The problem is nobody can guarantee number 2 will take place

The only thing holding up normal life is The media and their hatred for trump. Covid wont be a thing after november. And i shouldnt have to choose

The worst thing about a spring season is that no top juniors or seniors will play. I don’t think it would be an accurate representation of 2020 teams

It was a theoretical question. You won't have to choose because you will have no say in the matter whatsoever...nor will I.
