[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 708673, member: 1776"] I'm going to post this over from the other thread as I think it is the most in-depth discussion of this topic and college athletics in general to date. [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2020/04/08/college-football-future-2020-ncaa-coronavirus[/URL] They are definitely going to try to figure out a way to play as much of a schedule as possible to limit the economic hits AA's are taking (loss of basketball revenue, loss of donor donations, lower ticket sales, likely loss of revenue from gameday). But I still don't see the likelihood of getting a full season in as better than 50%. I will say if you made me place a bet there will be more college football games than college basketball games. The issue is two-fold. First, you can't just decide you are going to play football and start immediately. There is significant ramp up time needed - from first simply having some nuitrition and conditioning work. To then going to practices to finally having games. If players aren't on campus by early July ( and i'm not convinced they will be) then starting the season on time becomes very unlikely. Then you have the backend. There is an expectation of another wave starting in the late fall - probably November.

My belief is that the season will start, hopefully we get most of a conference schedule in, but I think there will be no bowls, possibly no conference championship games. I think there is a pretty good chance of a limited to no basketball season that given how many basketball games there are on a weekly basis and its overlap with flu season, I don't think it is going to be allowed.
