[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 730941, member: 1776"] I feel like a crack addict, getting up every day, looking at sports sites for new news on college football. I know i'm not going to get a full season (ND AD's comments seem fairly realistic), but how much might I get and will any fans be allowed? Here's one question I have. If ACC, SEC, B12 announce a conference +1 schedule, given the ACC is committed to helping ND, would GT have to choose between ND and UGA and would they have a choice? FWIW, both the Big South and Southland have announced that they plan for now to start in September. [URL unfurl="true"]http://bigsouthsports.com/news/2020/7/22/general-big-south-to-begin-fall-sport-competition-september-3.aspx[/URL] This is a really good article [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-acc-big-12-considering-plus-one-scheduling-model-with-shortened-2020-season-becoming-an-inevitability/[/URL] One thing I did not know is that the NCAA Board of Governors have a meeting this Friday and they could vote to cancel all fall championships. "There is an NCAA Board of Directors meeting Friday during which, CBS Sports has learned, the association could cancel all fall championships. That would include the FCS, Division II and Division III playoffs. Some FBS sources are lobbying the board to hold off. " "Whatever happens, the process is being played out in stages.

That last comment is the one that makes me think the fans in the stands is something the power players aren't worrying about too much. i suspect they would gladly have empty stands if they thought it gives them a better chance to play more games.
