milehiiu Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Not surprised about a conference only schedule. However, I am surprised with a Fall rather than a Spring schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 While I understand that FB is not normally a Spring sport. Due to the pandemic, should FB be moved to the Spring. I can't see how this could apply to FB players as well : IU to spend approximately $900,000 to honor scholarships for returning spring seniors - The Crimson Quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am surprised with a Fall rather than a Spring schedule. I think this is best case scenario with Fall conference games only. I can't see them having any but who knows. Sounds like they want to leave the door open to play though. A shortened Spring season sounds more likely. It won't be the same for sure but at this point nothing will be. Go Hoosiers!!!

Indykev Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) They just killed off a lot of sports at smaller schools that rely on the big pay days playing Big Ten schools. Stanford just check 11 sports what do you think will happen to Mac schools for example. They run their year on trips to Michigan or Ohio St.. If they want just power 5 schools in the NCAA this is a start. Edited July 9, 2020 by Indykev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Many smaller schools were struggling already with budgets. And many have already cut sports. I feel so bad for the athletes/coaches/athletic dept. employees that will lose scholarships/jobs. Sure some schools will bring back sports when times are better but many will never come back.

mrflynn03 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 If they end up going with a shortened spring schedule I would think they would have to cut back on bowl games too. I would not want to be starting a season in February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Does the conference schedule stay at nine games? If other power fives do this, Notre Dame might have some schedule issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don't mind this schedule for this year. So we just replace WKU, UConn, and Ball St with Northwestern, Nebraska or Minnesota? For this year I don't have a problem. 6 wins to bowl berth and quite honestly....some of the brethren over in the West can see what it's like to play Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St in successive weeks for a change.

My question. It's my understanding that IU's contracts with non conference opponents guarantee them a certain amount of money. That's one reason they come to B-town to play us. So do we still have to honor the guarantee ? And what about about our other non conference game on the road against UCONN ? Will they have to pay IU ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is insurance or extremely reduced buyout. That's what somebody already mentioned.....all those dozens and dozens of programs that schedule those games for big paydays and won't get them.

IU Scott Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Wonder how this would affect the qualifications to go to a bowl game. Now you have to win at least 6 games but if we only play conference games this could affect the big ten on how many bowl eligible teams they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much after football is over the players are going to train for the draft so if they move football to spring it would hurt players who are going to the draft.

First we hope we have a season. If we don't....my assumption is bowl games might be gone this year or maybe reduce bowl requirement to 5? Choppy waters coming.

mrflynn03 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I could see a scenario where they cancel bowls, keep the playoff and start a shortened season in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I would also wonder with us starting the season at UW and then having 3 straight non conference games will effect our schedule now. I would guess that they would maybe have to go back a do a little changing to dates of games. Edited July 9, 2020 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
