No, but they essentially will be in one except for class. They certainly will be incentivized to keep away from people. Which will be difficult, but it will probably keep them fraternizing less than they otherwise would be.Would there be a way to put college players In a bouble like the NBA? If not college football and the NFL will probably go through the same thing MLB is now.
Didnt they recently start their football program in the last few yrs??I know a lot of folks here that work in the AD at Mercer. They’re all in scramble mode over their budgets because they were supposed to open @Vandy.
Yeah . . . They started back up about 4-5 years ago and got lucky when Georgia Southern and App State decided to move up to FBS and the SoCon needed teams. They went from no program to probably one of the best FCS conferences in a matter of a couple of years.Didnt they recently start their football program in the last few yrs??
They didn't play defense anyway, not sure that one matters. While hurts was good, Rattler will probably already be a better passer than him, though he's going to obviously need some seasoning.Please explain....
OU lost their QB. Top WR. All their best defenders... and they let LSU hang 60 on them with all of that.
They wouldn't even 3rd in the SEC West. Maybe in the East? Between us and them.
I agree. But I think there 4th or 5th in SEC. We already play at least 3 of those teams though, which was my point. Anyone except for LSU, will probably be worse than the Oklahoma.They do, but they wouldn’t in the SEC. They were lucky to get there last year after the K State loss and the 2 close wins over Baylor. Don’t get me wrong, OU is a great program and Lincoln is an amazing QB coach and offensive mind, but they’ve gotten outclassed the last few years.
This is to keep students on campus and then not have them return once the holidays start. You can start in August and eliminate all holidays (Labor Day/Fall Break) and get all the necessary days in by Thanksgiving break. You cannot start after Labor Day and get done by Thanksgiving Break...students would have to come back to campus after going home for Thanksgiving and being around large families (some) and possibly bring it back to campus.Then why start classes in mid-August and have them wrap up before Thanksgiving?
many people are predicting lawsuits. The theory is that you can't use an "act of God" clause when you replaced the games. If that happens, SEC teams may have to chose between paying FCS schools not to play or cutting back to an 8-game schedule. Personally, I hope we don't sue VU. What I'd really love, although it is incredibly unlikely, is if the FCS schools could somehow leverage these cancelled games into ironclad deals for a home-and-home in the future. Vandy in Macon might not excite many non-Bears, but could you imagine the Dawgs playing ETSU in Johnson City? How cool would that be?I know a lot of folks here that work in the AD at Mercer.

I was talking to a pretty big Ga Southern booster over the weekend, and he was already talking about the "act of God" argument. Really think P5 schools are either going to have to guarantee a rescheduled date or negotiate some sort of buyout for the contracts.many people are predicting lawsuits.

I'm not going to make up the whole loss myself, but I am prepared to make another donation this year. Hopefully, Jim will reach out to us with some sort of plan.
Probably not home and home, would be more profitable to be gate and gate at the SEC school..... it would be wild to see some of these SEC schools play in stadiums smaller than Vandy'smany people are predicting lawsuits.
