Reports say B10 to have conference schedule only in fall

[MJG-90]

I just got the email from sandy confirming this to be true.

 

[JWB389]

I don’t think so. Besides, BYU students (and people who look like them) would never play with themselves.

Just looked it up. They were interdependent as of January 8.

There will be many games out there with group of 5 schools dropped by the P5.

Will PSU now have to pay for breaking contracts with Kent St, San Jose St, and Virginia Tech?

If there isn’t some natural disaster/ act of God clause in the contracts will the big ten be covering the costs or do they expect the MAC type schools (who depend heavily on these games to pay their athletic department expenses) to just forgive this move?

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Friends, there wont be college ball this Fall. Just accept it. This is going just like March Madness was, they just have more time now to make it a slower process. Probably sunk.

Won't have to pay VT.

Don't worry Sandy can hire the attorney soliciting on here to help students get out of their apartment rental contracts using the force majeure clause .

With the BIG going to 10 conference games, I would be all for each team playing the other 5 teams in the division twice in a home and home series for this season.

It's not going to happen, but I don't think the season will happen now, either. Unless the NBA, NHL and MLB COVID experiences during the next month or so turn out to be OK. We may still get the NFL, but I don't expect our society's fear mongers to allow college sports to happen. Hopefully this will cause the college tuition bubble to burst at least.

Now that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks. Seriously, I hope you’re right, but pigs would rather eat each then go on a diet.

 

[katchthis]

What if all the conferences decide to play conference only? That would mean Notre Dame (and any other independents) would have no one to play!

Twitter----ACC commissioner John Swofford has said that if league adopts an all-conference football schedule for 2020, Notre Dame likely will be in mix. Irish already have six ACC opponents on docket.

They are not going to miss out on the cash bag that ND brings.

There are 7 teams in each division.

VT and the ACC could say their hand was forced to go this route after the Big Ten unilaterally announced this so late in the summer leaving 5 ACC teams with sudden holes in their schedules. (I’m sure some Tobacco Road lawyer would love to give it a try. ).

 

[doctornick]

So, who thinks VT will still make the road trip to Happy Valley or will they force PSU to make up the away game to do it?

 

[MaconNitt]

the road trip to Happy Valley is not until 2025. I'm sure they will work together to get a Blacksburg game back on the schedule.

 

[GregPSU]

The plan would involve 10 conference games, no non conference games, if they are able to play in the fall.

Per ESPN (Also making the rounds at The Athletic.

So if all conf's do this who will Notre Dame be playing????

 

[Lion8286]

So if all conf's do this who will Notre Dame be playing????

Already discussed. ACC teams.

 

[rmem]

Their shitty ACC foes. You know, "the conference they belong to".

If Notre Dame is in the mix then every week there would be an ACC team without an opponent unless they schedule outside the conference. Maybe another ACC school opt out of the season to bring it back to 14.

Oh. I thought they were still in the Mountain West or whatever.

 

[LMTLION]

How about we go to in-state schedule of just Pitt and beat their a$$es 10 games in a row?

 

[BobPSU92]

Look, I know I’m stupid, but here’s what I don’t get. In my area, girls are playing little league softball. Girls can play little league softball, but we (likely) can’t have college football? There’s still travel in little league softball. A kid could puke on another kid sliding into second base. Catchers are going to be touching spitballs.

Maybe these girls live in nursing homes and are expendable?

 

[marshall23]

I think Pitt is poised for a great season. No team in America is better prepared to play with no fans.

Uh oh where’s Pitt going to find their 8 wins.

Wait till they hear they have to play Clemson during the regular season.

My buddy @IrishHerb just pointed out to me that Florida State is scheduled to visit Syracuse and was speculating on the NY quarantine requirements for visitors from Florida.

Here's another guys look at possibilities. I think in this one , ND moves up to 8 ACC games by addition of 2 games on other ACC teams bye weeks. ......

I think its okay if you have a negative test result within 72 hours of travel.

 

[NittPicker]

I don't know about wins but I'm confident Five Loss Pat will live up to his name. He'll find a way. He always does.

 

[BobPSU92]

I don’t see three wins on our schedule, whatever it is.

 

[BobPSU92]

ASS. BEATING.

 

[NJPSU]

So do we just play conference schedule as is or are they gonna reshuffle and add conference games?

 

[BudatPSU]

What if all the conferences decide to play conference only? That would mean Notre Dame (and any other independents) would have no one to play!

Damm, that would be a shame. Too bad.

 

[marshall23]

Damm, that would be a shame. Too bad.

ACC has already said that they will accommodate ND

 

[NewEra 2014]

You’re right. I got ahead of myself, as I saw rumors that Rutgers and MD were going to sit out the season.

 

[bluewhiteApos]

So, how does conference only games help to stop the spread?

 

[IrishHerb]

I don't know about wins but I'm confident Five Loss Pat will live up to his name. He'll find a way. He always does.

You mean that even if Pitt only has a 3 game season, they'll find a way to loose 5?

 

[step.eng69]

The FIGHTING. IRISH. will have to play with themselves.

PRAY. FOR. US.

The players will go blind, at least that is what I was told in the confessional 58 yrs ago

 

[NittPicker]

Yes. Never underestimate idiocy of the Dooz.

 

[LMTLION]

It is all about the optics of it all.
