Language of the contract will come into play which is the reason the conference announced and each school didn't. One part of each contract has the phrase impossibility to play portion...fee wouldn't apply. Still doing some homework though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could start the same time and plan for a stoppage or two and then less time before bowl games and no true bye week? We had two bye weeks last year. I'm sure I'm just looking at this too optimistically, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports maybe like this for years or until everyone wants to come out of their basements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy06 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sadly, this feels like a big step toward no CFB this year. Guessing it's 50/50 at best for an NFL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ten goes conference only -- What it means, what's next and what about Notre Dame? Maybe, just maybe. ND should have joined the B1G when the B1G was expanding.

Parakeet Jones Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I heard or read somewhere yesterday evening, I can't remember where, that if all the power fives move to conference only schedules that the ACC has said they would include Notre Dame in their schedule plan.

BobSaccamanno Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Without as much football revenue, if any, and with some schools whacking non-revenue sports as a result, it draws attention to the non-revenue sports and the considerable burden they impose. If it weren’t for Title IX you’d have to wonder if a number of non-revenue sports would be permanently whacked and relegated to the club sport level. In the economic climate of college education, particularly the crisis surrounding costs for rank and file students, absorbing the costs for scholarships for non-revenue sports functions as charity and is wholly divorced from the reality of economic efficiency. But with 80 scholarships for football, the schools have the heavy burden to pick up scholarships for female athletes who do not carry their weight on budgets. Male athletes in the non-revenue zone are in the same boat. Whether that’s the best use of the money—when costs of higher education are at scandalous levels—is very questionable. It’s not rational economic allocation. You have a very small amount of students absorbing money that could be used more efficiently by the school as a whole. Imagine management of an entity with fiduciary duties functioning in the real world looking at these numbers! While sports budgets function with their own balance sheets, we know IU siphons athletic monies to the university. If you were able to convert non-revenue sports to the club level, more money could be sent to the university to enhance budgets in an environment when non-athlete students are paying scandalous amounts with parabolic increases over time. It can show what over-officious activist government action can do in terms of over-regulation and damage to the whole. Club sports allow the kids to benefit from competition etc, without requiring associated scholarship costs sucking up budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
