I was going to say the same about Texas, but then I remembered I'm a teacher and many districts across the state are reopening. I guess high school football is going to be massive this year.
If a spring season happens, it will be an exhibition type deal, six games max.
Especially when a ton of players opt out and enter the NFL draft.
I mean it was a pipe dream. I keep seeing the local HS football posting about equipment pick ups for practice soon on FB and I just smh. We couldn't even get little league going when we had less than 10 cases in the county, the minute we opened up, cases exploded, but you're gonna play football? Yea, ok.

A spring season won't happen. I don't think much will change between now and the spring. And like you said, players aren't going to agree to a season that ends in June only to turn around and start fall camp a month later. Next fall is the earliest things could resume.
Unfortunately, a lot of athletic programs at many universities won't survive this drought. Some programs will inevitably go under and won't return. Things will never be the same.
I have family in Alabama and the Crimson Tide, and church, are the only things that keep that state going. I can't image what its going to be like there without a football season. At least Ohio has some pro teams to support.
As a Clemson fan I am sad that this likely means that Trevor Lawrence will.never play another college game.
So I'm not a College Football Fan. I'll catch the
major games, title games, bowls etc etc. however I am a HUGE NFL fan, a die hard Cowboys fan. And man, I am feeling for die hard College Football Fan's right now. I am desperately hoping that the NFL can get a season in this year. I couldn't imagine not ripping my hair out week in and week out freaking out over the Cowboys.

I feel for the situations of so many kids that this will affect, this had to be done though, I'm honestly surprised they did it there is going to be so much money lost. So many smaller schools not swimming with Booster money rely on the actual seasons to keep their programs afloat
NFL has more room to make dumbass decisions this fall I think.

Exactly. Some programs may go under entirely and not return when this is all over.
I mean nobody was going to touch 2019 LSU ever so there really wasnt a reason to have another season anyway
Yeah this is going to wreck funding for a lot of schools which is really unfortunate. Necessary but unfortunate.
Almost like this entire economic system was predicated on a house of cards!
I am seriously wondering what the hell I am going to do on Saturdays this fall. CFB is an all-day thing for me since I do some writing on the side about it.
Gonna miss watching Hawaii football at 1 am.
As a grad of two sec schools, I'll believe it when I see that conference shut it down. I could even see individual sec schools revolting and playing each other for a few games down there.
The grandstanding by say Alabama politicians is going to be something. Could this be the moment for Doug Jones? Trumpism cancelled football!

I feel for ya man. My buddies are big time Penn State fans and they are crushed right now and it's not even official yet. Crushes me to even think about a season without football.

And yes, Trevor Lawrence is currently on one via Twitter.
When you get the Clay Travis stamp of approval you maybe need to rethink what you're advocating for.

Brutal for colleges.
College football pretty much pays the bills for schools' entire athletic departments, without that sports will be cut left and right. In addition to that due to title IX, a number of women's sports will have to be kept on to balance out football/basketball rosters. So pretty much every men's sport that isn't football or basketball is on the chopping block.
It's the right thing to do to keep students safe, but there was a big reason schools were so hellbent on trying to make it work. With schools pretty much saying football was more important than academics by trying to get football teams on campus before they were even cleared for normal students.
Kentucky had one of their best teams in a long long time too...
