Funding this will be an issue, and there would need to be multiple changes to NCAA rules like scholarship limits, travel roster size, etc.
Even a one year change can have a ripple effect for years.
We won't be the only conference but I like your thought process.. Big 12, ACC, and the SEC will be the "Power 3".What if.....somehow...the big 12 is the only conference running...and we win the title (even if you throw in a couple forfeits etc).....then we default win national title...hang the banner! LOL
AND, have numerous All-Americans, Heisman trophy, Doak Walker Award, etc...it'll be awesome.....
How does what "people are supporting" pertain to the conversation at all? People are already moving into their dorms for the year...I would say you are the one not paying attention.remind me how much heavy breathing and one-on-one physical matchups there are in a classroom?
also, you should probably note that a sizeable percentage DO support going online-only to start the year, especially for younger students. it's almost like you haven't been paying attention...
How many died from H1N1? How many people have died from pneumonia this year versus other previous years? Yes, we have seen slightly more deaths. Life happens but we've never, ever shut down before, and there have been a LOT worse diseases come and go.
Purely out of curiosity what makes you think they can play basketball in January when you can't play football in September? Indoor sport during the winter. You could argue a longer, more prolonged exposure to your opponent. I suppose the only thing you have going for you is the number of people you'd have to monitor.
I just think once you've put it out there you have too much liability to play, you aren't playing again until there is a marked difference in potential harm. And that's not going away by January.
If a basketball player were to get seriously sick the very first thing they'd point to is not being very far removed from canceling all football. You've basically acknowledged the risk is too high-- good luck coming back from that one from a liability perspective.
Baylor came out and said they wants more time to make a decision (highly valid reason). Don't know where the other school's stand 100% but we know ISU is a yes, WVU coach has been quoted on wanting to play, OSU and OU are wanting to play, and then you have the 3 other TX schools who I'd say will want to play. At the minimum I think a vote would be 7-3 in favor of playing.So who makes the call on whether the Big 12 plays a season? I gotta imagine the 4 Texas schools vote YES + Iowa State YES. That's 5/10. OU and Okie Lite probably voting YES too.
Well the ACC's Chief Medical Expert who happened to go to Duke (pretty good school I'd say), believes the season can be done safely..No one should be playing.
Or....we could have Congress just eliminate frivolous lawsuits all together. This ain't just a Covid issue. So much money is wasted in CYA because lawyers in this country have gotten out of control.
Apple just sued a company called PrePear because somehow these two logos look similar to someone. That's where we are as country.

I want to watch Iowa State this fall, but feel like we're delaying the inevitable.
That comes later, after class.remind me how much heavy breathing and one-on-one physical matchups there are in a classroom?
