My 2020 CFB Worst nightmare

The Drake game was the worst for me after my feet got wet.
I still can’t get over how super weird that whole thing was. That game was almost a worst nightmare scenario in and of itself.

With ISU on the doorstep of sustainable good football, yeah, I not surprised at all.

College football is allowed to be played, but only in empty stadiums due to COVID-19. ISU has its first ever 10+ win season in front of an empty JTS. Most Cyclone thing ever.

Left out LHN and ESPN+ being granted exclusive broadcast rights to 9 of our games. (Texa$$ gets 3 WTF???)

As a Chiefs fan, I’m shocked this didn’t all happen right before the Super Bowl. Too bad it couldn’t have actually happened a day earlier so we didn’t have a 20 loss basketball team.

If the season does get cancelled do they give a year of eligibility back to students?

Decent chance of it.

Its tough though, because there's consequences down the line. Granting more eligibility just means fewer opportunities for the next class.

True, didn't really consider there would be a 30+ person senior class.

Not as big a deal for football, but could have major impacts on basketball if that were to happen. The NBA makes a big deal about player age so grad transfers (i.e. DeAndre Kane - remember all the talk about how "old" he was?), late-blooming 5th year seniors and potential one-and-dones could face even bigger decisions.

I don’t anticipate any major sports being played until 2021. Any scenario where they are playing any college football games is not close to a nightmare scenario for me.

Yeah I just don't see it as feasible without a really accessible vaccine.

If they do this, I could be shirtless for every game.

Don't do it, Jamie.

Could you imagine the uproar if ISU had to cancel a game due to thunderstorms after having a 7pm kick during the summer?
