College football is looking less likely

The Pac-12 season is in trouble, and the NCAA itself looks to have major issues to contend with.

  1. I live in a D1 Football town and they trouble is that everyone has become addicted to the money…sports licensing, food services, bars, minor sports…. but yeah I don’t see it coming back without a “cure” the better team you are the more far and wide your players come from, thus the increased chances of spread. And with 80 man squads, how could you make a locker room safe?

    1. Its all about money and selfishness. I’ve always loved college sports, but when it comes to doing the right thing for the athletes, it should be done.

      As revenues have exploded, it’s only been added to more fan friendly stadium amenities and huge coaching salaries. Not just the head coach, but you have coordinators and assistants in football and basketball making millions now.

      One thing is for certain, a lot of people very comfortable in life are perfectly happy to risk the health of others to increase their wealth and comfort.

  2. There’s absolutely no way football can be played safely this Fall. Zero.

    While we’ve known for a long time that the NFL couldn’t care less about long-term player safety, the NCAA has always paid lip-service to the fiction that they do care about their “student” athletes. While this has obviously been window dressing to the truth that they only care about these kids insofar as they can make them piles of money, choosing to force them to play a contact sport with close, personal contact during a pandemic will put the final nail in the coffin of their Kabuki.

    2. Baseball is the one sport which can be played with the players’ almost social distancing, and they couldn’t get it right.

      Football has no chance, unless they try to adopt something like the NBA’s bubble, and it’s too late for that I think.

  3. College sports are not really a good thing for the athletes involved. At least according to several articles I have read about it, particularly one in the Atlantic.
    This would be an excellent opportunity to dial them back a lot.
