B1G Discussing Thanksgiving Week Start

MLB reporting today no positives amongst players.

there were some fits and starts, but there's absolutely a way for leagues to manage a season. the 3 P5 conferences will further prove this.

Sounds like they will be taking the same strategy as basketball to get games in while students aren't on campus.
 
Games on campus in December with mostly terrible weather conditions is just another bad idea regardless if there are no students on campus..
Why do we talk out both sides of our mouth about this? They postpone the season and they're a bunch of sissy ivory tower non-jock University Presidents who never played the game, hate freedom, and would cry if they got tackled. But they want to play in the winter and we go "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'LL BE COOOOOOOOOOLD ON THEIR TOESIES!!!!!!! IT MIGHT BE SNOWY ON THE INTERSTATE!!!"

Are we a bunch of damn-the-torpedoes tough guys or not?

why wait unti November?
 
I’ve always thought the spring season from February to April wasn’t going to happen because it’s just too much football in one year for a bunch of unpaid kids but I think moving it up a few months would make it feasible.

That was January.. NFL will still be playing games in December right?

Don’t see them playing college games on Saturday and NFL on Sunday.

Without fans, there is no reason games couldn't be played in the Dakota Dome or UNI dome.

But the reality is that a domed stadium can easily house games on Saturday and Sunday. Hell Cowboy Stadium hosts all of the Texas State high school games from a Wednesday to Saturday, 3 games each day and then could have the Cowboys play on Sunday

Surely it's impossible, Tuco. What are we to believe, that there are stadiums and arenas that routinely accommodate rapid turnarounds between events like basketball, hockey, circuses, and concerts that use totally different surfaces for their needs?

Sure they can alter Wrigley Field to play football in it, but leave the football turf in place so that more than one team a week could play on it? Crazy talk.

Very True.. But that was before the pandemic.. And there never was any mention of domed stadiums in Dakota Dome and UNI Dome in the first place..

here appears to be the hierarchy:

fall season >>>>> late fall season >>> spring season > no season

I believe a poster on here has been stating this for weeks. apologies for no shoutout, you deserve it!
Well, considering college basketball is looking to start in November, it would make sense.

Yes, there’s infinitely more players in football, but how can you say people in the same school can play because it’s a different season?
 
It is a step in the right direction, but if you are going to play in late Fall, you might as well just go ahead and play the regular schedule in early Fall. But beggers can't be choosers, I guess.

What? Of course it was before the pandemic. What does that have to do with anything. Teams would show up, play, crew would disinfect the locker rooms if the stadium was needed for a Sunday games.

I don't recall any actual domes being mentioned. However, if the powers that be decided against sharing a domed stadium with an NFL team, then there are other domed stadiums in the footprint that could be used. Point being seating capacity would not be a factor if no fans are allowed.

Domed stadiums that were mentioned..Minneapolis, Detroit, Indianapolis, St Louis and the Carrier Dome in Syracuse..

So I revert back to the original point, games could easily be played on Saturday and Sunday, or even Friday, Saturday and Sunday if need be.

Look for ways to make it happen, not for excuses for why it can't
