I keep hearing about a split season. I wonder how that is going to work, for example for seniors or juniors looking to go to the NFL. Anyone think they are coming back to play for peanuts for State U or will they sign with an agent, start making some money and train for the draft? Why would they risk potential injury in spring of 2021 completely blowing a chance for the NFL draft. Injuries substained in spring of 2021 could put a guy into doubt about workouts etc. Would top schools lose alot of players if they are out of the NC hunt at the split?

I could see this being a big issue for a team who has a slow start in fall of 2020 first 6 games for example. The season could actually be two completely different seasons, two completely different teams. Would they play bowl games in May?

What about conflicts with March Madness? How much would football take away from that? How much would that take away from football in other parts of the country?

Even playing games in fall and spring, would the big schools be willing to pay the smaller schools their "buy game" money, in some cases over $1million for a stadium less than half full? Will TV pony up more to get programming they desperately need?

I see alot of questions about a spilt season that the cf bureaucrats cant control.

It's an interesting thought. If it was split, a player that dominated in the first half might elect to not play the second half, much like one who sits out a bowl game to avoid injury. I hope we don't go to it, though. I'd rather see them wear puffy helmets for the first six games!

There’s no point in a split season, too much wear and tear on the players... just play a reduced Fall schedule with about six or seven conference games and vote a champion at EOY, no bowl games or playoffs. Limit to half-full stadiums. Need a vaccine before things get back to normal.
