That’s about it @HoozGotNext. The Power 5s are meeting to discuss what to do. PAC 12 Big 10 on one side hedging not to play Big12 seems to want to play SEC and ACC in lockstep eager to play.

It’ll be wild if some P5s cancel and others don’t. Could there be last minute transfers??

Those are the 2 most interesting questions. There at least seems to be some interest in a few schools going “rogue” and running their own season even if it means breaking traditional conference alliances. i.e. An SEC/ACC super conference with OSU, ND and some Big 12 schools sprinkled in.
No word on how the transfer market could be affected. In addition, if they bounce all football to the spring, what happens with players who are NFL draft eligible do they opt out to do draft prep, assuming the NFL keeps their traditional schedule?

The Spring idea is ridiculous at this level. Draft prospects would surely opt out. And playing a full season and getting them back into it what 3-4 months later to do again is not realistic at all. Talk about putting players at risk.

Agree the spring makes no sense. And assuming basketball is played those two seasons wluld be opposing each other. So many bad situations.

It makes no logical or rational sense, but schools will be so starved for cash if this cancellation comes to pass they will try to make it work. Many other programs within many athletic departments will be at risk.

If they do play football this fall it’s almost certainly only going to be power 5 schools

B10 saying move football to spring makes no sense. Practice and play in freezing Jan and Feb. NFL draft. Short season. Makes no sense. As little sense as Michigan Coach Harbaugh makes throwing his regular tantrums. Had to throw that comment in regarding the sideshow that is Harbaugh. lol. Maybe we get some more transfers.

PAC 12 has officially joined the BiG and cancelled fall football.
Will be interesting to see what happens, we know the SEC will stand firm, I worry the ACC is squishy. Might all coMe down to which way the BIG12 falls.
The BIG12 is the big question. Everything I’ve seen has the SEC and ACC in lockstep and determined to move forward. BIG12 has been a bit more scattered.

That would be interesting.
I do wonder about fall 2021 plans if a full spring season is played in 2021. That’s a lot to ask of football players.
