I believe it is. The Ivy League calling it a year doesn't have a huge bearing on the Power 5 as the Ivy likely loses money during football anyway.

Not sure about the rest of the Ivy League, but Princeton will not have all students on campus each semester. Freshmen and Juniors have the option to attend in-person in the fall, while Sophomores and Seniors may attend in-person in the spring. The decision to not bring back all students impacted their sports’ decision.

The best case scenario is we just make the decision now to move College Football to the Spring rather than neuter the season and then inevitably cancel it halfway through because a few people got COVID-19 on a half dozen or more teams.

May as well play now because the spring is just as bad as the fall.

That’s the absolute last case scenario.

Why? I can tell you right now that with the way things are trending at BEST we'll play an 8-game conference schedule with limited fan attendance this fall if things do not get progressively worse. I figure if things are delayed till the Spring there is a much higher probability of playing a full slate of games with regular fan attendance.

Because there are a ton challenges that go along with playing a full slate in the Spring. The first being is that we don’t know where this virus will be in the Winter/Spring sports season. Another is playing 2 football seasons in such a short period of time will take a huge toll on the players physically, mentally, and from an academic standpoint. Not to mention there will be a ton of draft eligible guys who I’m sure will sit out and prepare for the NFL draft rather than risk getting hurt . There is also a tv part to it that I’m sure complicates things That’s why I think it’s the last case scenario.

It’s unfathomable to think how deep this can effect schools,kids,sports,funding..I mean as bad as it sounds the mighty dollar makes this world turn.No one and I mean not one person has any idea how this thing plays out or when.Now u have analytics and math gururs etc that can project things like revenue loss,economy situations etc.To sit and say anyone can fully predict the repercussions of this from a top to bottom scale its just know way to know.Basically the whole world is throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks rite now.

So it’ll be.... ‘Live from Knoxville, TN, in front of 20,000 rich alumni, and family of players, we bring you the 2020 college football season opener between Tennessee and Florida!’

No thanks, hard pass.

. May not even be 20,000 fans. Fulmer will want 70,000 but I don’t see that happening

My guess would be that if there is anyone in the stands it is students only. Much like the players they theoretically can be kept in a UTK bubble, quarantined and tested.

Cannot say that about rich alumni or even players' families.

If the kungflu is going to kill all of these healthy, young student athletes when they interact on the field......how is 10 games better than 12 games?

The athletes will be fine if they get it. Fulmer and Chaney probably won’t do too well if they get it. But I guess those guys haven’t done much to help get UT back on a winning path so who cares if they get sick, right? How hard can it be to replace Fulmer with a competent AD that cares about football? And finding a good OC is super easy.

Not many positive are getting sick so what's there to treat ?

Well you can start with the almost 10,000 people hospitalized in TX with it, the 2,200 people hospitalized in GA with it, and the 3,400 people hospitalized in AZ with it then go from there.

Imo the best thing to do is play football, all fans required to wear mask

I was reading elsewhere that the cross division games we would pick up would be our next two for 2021 and 2022, which would be home to Ole Miss and at LSU.
