[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 710137, member: 4572"] I don’t think anybody is running around like chicken little who’s actually involved in the sports world. They’re trying to make contingency plans, and some of those plans include shutting down the possibility of operation for the remainder of the year. However, it’s being reported as if those plans are absolutes. [I]If [/I]college football gets cancelled, I’m sure the decision will come “way too early.” But you can’t wait around to make a decision when hundreds of millions of dollars are involved.
