I haven't read this entire thread - only a few pages - but I'm disgusted with the many immature & ignorant remarks about the topic of this thread. 3 billion people in the world are locked down, prisoners in their own homes, to avoid infection with Covid-19 - the first such event in the history of the world.
You can pretend the Covid-19 Pandemic isn't going to impact the college football season - but if you do you're stupid. Coronavirus will ABSOLUTELY impact every large public event of any kind - including every sporting event, concert, play, movie theater and every other event where crowds gather until a vaccine or effective therapy is found, manufactured, administered & available to the vast majority of the American public.

Athletic departments are incredibly minor/inconsequential compared to the businesses already facing catastrophe.
That said, the overreaction to this virus will be studied for centuries.
No I understand that completely, was just talking about athletic departments cause its a sport board.
This is one of the craziest things of all time, we basically have hit the pause button on life itself.
This will be talked about and studied forever in history classes.
Its insanity and it changes every single day.
Parts of society will be forever changed because of this.

Yea this shite is crazy, no doubt.
To think of all the things we've seen in our lives from Sept. 11th, wars, covid19. Crazy.
Remember just a few months ago when the worst thing we had was Australia was on fire and we were getting lectures from famous people about global warming. Yea, I miss those days now.

The huge majority of comments are pretty serious and seek to balance the risks with the economic consequences.
So I don't really know what you're talking about.

I'm just thinking aloud but if they needed some more time to get the players ready and in shape they could scrap the couple cupcake games every one plays and push the start of the season back a couple of weeks or so. I don't know if that's possible logistically or not though

If the USA is still restricting large crowds but is otherwise back to school I think you cold see televised games with no crowds but that will depend on risk of spreading infection among players...

The pandemic isn't going to do shite.
It's the panic that people need to worry about. You are using the panic to justify further panic.

College and pro football will not happen he claims
Long term effects on salaries for players and college football coaches will interesting to watch after this passes.
Lots of interesting unknowns ahead. Pro Sports has force majeure clauses built in to weather the storm to some degree. But, the belt will tighten somewhere to offset the losses and protect against future such liabilities.
Colleges administrators are already ready to jump off the roof as the impending losses from campus closures will have long term effects on bloated and bureaucratic brick and mortar university structures, which were already challenged to make ends meet. Plus, state contributions to Universities are going to inevitably contract as state budgets tighten. The stimulus bill has some account for universities, but it is going to flip things on their heads for quite a while. Some are certainly to lean on all sources, which means revisiting terms of funding and support for athletics.
College Ath Depts will further be devastated if football doesn't go. If CFB doesn't occur this fall, spring sports are likely to stay shutdown as most every school could not afford to field a team (what will it mean for Title IX?). Given the football revenue losses, inevitable removal of student athletic fees (as universities re-tax the students for other university funding shortfalls), NCAA and Conference distributions decline, and certain dwindling of AD donations, the entire college athletics structure is going to have to be reevaluated.
The midmajors, small schools, and lesser divisions will not be the only ones hit. If this continues through the fall, lots of change is on the horizon.

I don't disagree that a large part of the pandemic is the panic. But, it is neither here nor there now. It isn't going back in the box.

You prolly believe Nancy Pelosi has the country's best interests at heart.

Again, that only helps a few upper tier (especially in consideration of all ncaa divisions) programs and conferences.
Ticket sales and Ath Dept donations are as big a part of the equation or bigger for most schools than TV dollars. All three will take a hit across the board that have spillover effects to their University and total athletic dept budgets.

have no idea what the reasoning is behind this stuff, and I'm pretty pro-lockdown for the near term.
I'm sure it would be a logistical pain to play without fans or limit fan #s, but I'd have to think programs would be happy to do that to avoid revenue losses?
Behind closed doors seems feasible, but Players testing positive is why it’s probably not happening, or at the very least not finishing.

Completely ridiculous. What about the health of the players, coaches, and everyone else involved in putting on a sporting event?
Everyone involved in the decision to play would get sued by every family of every infected person.

0.073% percent of the world's population has Covid-19. You overreacting fig.

FIFY.
If this stretches out into football season, the panic and isolation will end up killing more people than the actual disease.

I was not taking a stance. Just pointing out an observation on what a CFB shutdown or even a reduction means to both longer term University and Ath Dept viability and financial strength

Not sure I agree, at all. This is pretty serious and turning a blind eye to it is kind of ignorant.
Will it turn into the Walking Dead? No. Will it kill millions? No. But we have to stay on top of this globally or else the answer to my previous question about killing millions could be yes.
