Scott. I love ya. And I am sure you know that. But.... the question presented was about Seniors. De'Ron had his season taken away from him due to the pandemic. I just hope this does not happen to our BB players. Much less our FB players. In the end... it's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I doubt football happens in the spring. I think the idea of spring football is just the decision-makers' way of trying to postpone a decision they don't quite have the balls to make now. Does anyone really think they wouldn't have to deal with testing and crowd restrictions in the spring? Moving it from the fall will just lead to a strange, off-balance and surreal season anyway. Won't happen, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand and if there is no season this year then those seniors could get another year of eligibility just like they did with spring sports.

By then we will know how things worked out for conferences that tried to play, assuming any of them make it, and hopefully we will have a little better data about whether or not the heart issues some kids have are long lasting. Might have a vaccine by then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblaz13 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Unfortunately deciding not to predict a record was more accurate than I hoped.Ugh! P***es me off and hurts to think of what might have been without this pandemic going on. Moving forward - if anyone plays the season at all- I'll be keeping a close eye on whether the positive test rates are higher for those that do or those that do not play. Seems like the obvious "thing to do" in a scenario with other FBS conferences should any go ahead with games in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 3 minutes ago, Sark said: The issue for 2021 will be restoring revenues. An abbreviated season won’t accomplish that (any Spring season is likely to be a net net negative financially). They can’t and won’t wait for normality in 2022. Makes sense. If they dont play then they arent spending money. Either way they will probably have to get a loan tied to future earnings to stay afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 12 minutes ago, Sark said: I doubt they’ll need access to debt in order to finance ongoing operations, since they’ve never been reliant on football revenues to the degree that others have been. But the financial picture will be pretty grim, and people and non-revenue sports shouldn’t feel secure. IU football: Financial impact of a lost season would be ugly. Here's the math. Football makes up about 40% of revenues. I was surprised it was that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are either principled or your not...there is no almost. True, but there’s no way I would have voted for that. It taints the conference which is the premier conference when you look at the combo of academics and athletics. Don’t taint the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...with the exception of 2015 championship which OSU season was anything but a certainty to make it to the playoffs it’s been awhile since we won a NC in football and even longer in basketball. Premier conference needs to to get back on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrangerHoosier Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Penn State AD and University of Minnesota President are now unclear whether or not there was actually a vote by the university presidents to cancel the football season. This is such a cluster. I can't believe I actually want Jim Delaney back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 After one week UNC Chapel hill has already moved to 100% online. This will be the norm for most power 5 schools I suspect.

My daughter returns to her boarding school in September, first quarter is online but living in the dorms, with the idea being phasing in to in-person classes by second quarter. That gives the school / professors time to phase in more in-person interaction, clubs, meetings, sports, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it looks anything like FGCU down here as we drove to Petco and went past the bars and restaurants in the area it was packed shoulder to shoulder by returning college kids all at the bars and hanging out outside...none wearing masks outside but literally a foot from each other drinking. It’s great for the local economy that had a hard time with Covid canceling tourist season but man these kids don’t give a damn. I mean I’m all for keeping things open and being smart with masks etc but 18-22 year olds aren’t helping with this at all. I’m sure that scene is repeated all across America. Maybe with the idiots out of the way and sent back home the ones there that are dedicated to their craft will be safe and can focus on their season.

It’s been pretty good honestly for the most part. Respectful people and most taking precautions...had a spike but been going down consistently since. Hopefully the kids will be ok since they are young but can’t help expect the numbers to bump up with their normal teen activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 ^^ Yeah the schools / states / localities are all adjusting, reacting, and planning according to local conditions. Moved my middle child into student housing here in Texas last weekend. My oldest (at Northwestern) is taking his fall and probably winter classes online -- and he's in his senior year. This is probably how he will graduate. My youngest is returning to her boarding school in New Hampshire in September, where she will take her first quarter classes online, while living in the dorm, as part of the school's phase-in plan.

Who was deciding between IU ( as her best friend is an IU student) and the University of Colorado..... decided on Colorado. She lost out on her graduation ceremonies at Cherry Creek High School ( our local and largest high school in the state of Colorado). And just last week had graduation ceremonies at her house. And now... rather than going to Boulder to start college.... is staying at home.... deferring her enrollment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
