NFL agrees to cancel 2020 preseason, reduce team roster sizes to 80 for training camp
https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ees-reduced-training-camp-rosters/5483773002/
People haven't wanted a preseason for a long time honestly. Jimmy Johnson was on The Herd and was talking about how he thinks it'll be cancelled and would be surprised if it came back for another season.That's not encouraging...seems like the modus operandi. Postpone the real decision as long as possible.
I still think 01Aug makes the most sense, but it could go as long as 15Aug. I suppose it is possible to start camps, but delay a game decision, but I think that is unwise. This is an extremely difficult decision. It would appear those in charge find the current state of affairs unacceptable, and are hoping things improve. Personally, I see no reason why things will be better in a few weeks.In an attempt to get things back on topic...
How long do you think the “decision makers” can hold out before they need to decide:
1) no fans
2) no season
For reference, for the NCAA basketball tournament, decision time was 1) 2 weeks prior 2) 1 week prior. That may not be a good example though as COVID was just becoming a wide-spread problem in the US and there were way more unknowns.
No..............it's funny every time it's used.
"When required"? Well.....that was sort of the point. Menards "requires" I do it if I want to enter......but will still do business with me if I don't? They don't care how I conduct business....why should you?
Good for you if those 3 hours of masking a week make you feel more a man. Like Fred said on this very site........I go to the doctor.

Media days for the Big12 is August 3rd - I think their hoping for a positive trend. If things get better preparation for the season continues but if the trend continues or gets worse fans will be the first to go, next non conference games and then the season.In an attempt to get things back on topic...

Just another thread turning from Cyclone sports to national politics. Man, it gets old.
How do you keep national politics out of a thread about how an international pandemic will affect whether there will be fans at games when the decision will be based directly on either action or non action by politicians and government officials?
Real question.

Thank you. It gets so old. There are plenty of threads for politics. Quite frankly don't go on the website nearly as much anymore because of the pervasiveness of the negative politicization of almost every thread.Give me a break. If you can't keep your political opinions our of this thread that's a "you" problem.
These guys will be the biggest whiners when football gets canceled or have no fansSpecial thanks to geniuses like @Raiders70, @CYEATHAWK, @ArgentCy and @Cyrealist we won't all be able to enjoy college football or really any sporting events for the foreseeable future.
A mask for two months and this could've been over already and everything under control but unfortunately Americans allow stupid people to try to make decisions on their own.

I'm thinking maybe non-con will go before fans. We PAY $$ to have the non-con teams come here, and LOSE $$ if the fans are not there.Media days for the Big12 is August 3rd - I think their hoping for a positive trend.
