[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 733693, member: 1776"] College football is going to be the hardest sport to make work for a multitude of reasons we have discussed before. Right now i'm sort of thinking the odds of getting the season started is just over 50% (you know the AA's want to play really bad - as does ESPN and FOX who both need the ad revenue that they are losing). I think finishing the season is maybe a 10% chance. Just feel like the general public could turn against it pretty easily if they feel that the student-athletes are being used in an unsafe way. Also, with the protocols right now any outbreak on a team is going to cost a team a minimum of 2 games and thinking 20 yr olds aren't going to interact with other 20 yr olds is not believable. The schools have not released anything beyond numbers of positive tests, some haven't even released that as they aren't required to by their states, but as more student-athletes and their parents relate negative experiences the pressure is going to mount on the school administrations. This report, from Pete Thamel who tends to be more negative about the season happening - but is pretty well plugged in, is at least worth a read to see how fast things can change.
