[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 717304, member: 1776"] Here is a great article from SI talking to all the FBS conference commissioners about what they are dealing with. My takeaway is that they are doing everything possible to have a season, to have it in the fall and to start as close to on time as possible, but that almost everything is still on the table because there are simply more questions than answers. This is a long discussion but well worth reading. [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2020/05/14/college-football-2020-season-ncaa-future[/URL] You can tell at this point they are hoping everything just sort of works out but coming to the realization that it is likely that different conferences may have different starting points and that even within conferences different schools could have different starting points. They are also coming to the conclusion it is going to be expensive as the schools are likely going to have to invest serious money in testing because without robust testing there will not be a season. One model that is starting to gain a little support is a conference games +1 model. C-USA commissioner said one model they have looked at is just having division teams play each other twice (home and away). (my note - If Conference +1 becomes the model for the ACC then GT would likely have to choose between either the ND game or the UGA game as its +1. Wouldn't be able to play both) As far as people in the stands the dolphins proposal has them hoping they can do something similar. When asked about who would get tickets if some people were allowed in one commissioner responded - students first, then faculty and staff, then season ticket holders. Also, the closer the season starts on time the fewer the people in the stands. They also don't know how many people would actually want to attend in person. [/QUOTE]
