AmenJay Bilas: "...you have to remember — the NCAA office in Indianapolis has no say over football. And the SEC or the Big Ten, if they feel like they are safe enough to play football, they're playing football and the NCAA is not going to be able to stop it."
the SEC will 100% play. hope the B1G does, too.
The way the SEC states are opening with little to no restrictions, don’t be surprised to see fans in their stadiums opening day.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see stadiums in FL, AL, GA filled for college football season.Yes, but people are still practicing social distancing and are 6 feet away for the most part...
Still don’t see full stadiums for College or NFL this year..
we're likely going to have population immunity in the south very quickly.I wouldn't be surprised at all to see stadiums in FL, AL, GA filled for college football season.
it's May and those states, especially AL and GA, have lifted many restrictions after 6-8 weeks of having them in place. another 4 months to let the dust settle on the rest? I'm not sure what trends would point to those not being lifted, either.

I also think, like the NBA's new proposal, positive tests won't stop college football from resuming.I will be surprised to see any stadium’s full this fall due the Covid 19..
It will be enough to test all these players, coach’s trainers, officials before every game is played this fall making sure no one has contacted this virus..

I don't know if widespread testing of every single player/coach/media person will even be a requirement by then. all the testing is just an assumption at this point.
nascar is racing this sunday, and they're not testing their drivers. sure, it's not football, but it's not like they have zero contact with anyone on race day, either.
if college football games were happening this Saturday, I'd tend to agree with you.NASCAR Let’s compare basketball and football and leave it that..
with the ncaa's announcement and local governments opening up left and right, don't be shocked to see programs returning to campus sooner than later.Before we even think about having games, Head football coaches are asking for eight weeks to get players in game shape, only till this happens is when we can start thinking about having a College football season...
This sport which you know isn’t NASCAR or horse racing or LOL soccer.
This thing will either be old news by August 1st or we'll have a sh##storm by then. Just look at how much has changed in the past 60 days from "we're all going to die" to oh wait "we have to stay locked down so not so many die". The bottom line at this point is that we achieved the goal of preventing our healthcare system from getting overwhelmed. Even New York City the poster child of what not to do, survived the onslaught We're going to build a LOT of natural immunity in the population over the next 60 days. The sooner the better because a vaccine won't be in time to save most at risk people regardless of what we do.if college football games were happening this Saturday, I'd tend to agree with you.
they aren't. they're 4 months away. I'm using the sports that are getting back to competition now as a good litmus test as to what things could look like come fall.
if certain competitions don't test today (auto racing, horse racing), who's to say others will absolutely, 100% require testing then?
german soccer comes back this weekend. players/staff there are tested twice weekly, including the day prior to a match. results are given to staff doctors the day of, and those who're clear can participate.
and that's just using the technology available today. all in all, there's a pretty wide range of what it could look like down the road, and nothing's absolute or off the table in my opinion.
So how does this work for college football, schedules and crowning a conf and National champion? What if a place like Michigan won't allow for football and doesn't play a 2020 season? I saw a tweet saying conferences were talking about doing home and home games with other teams to replaces games where teams can't play.

What about practices? So after June 1st Nebraska and other teams can practices as much or as little as they want? no limits?
This just seems like it is creating a hodge podge of do whatever. Which don't get me wrong, I will happily take a hodge podge if Nebraska has football.
the ncaa controls the national championship, but not conference titles, so I don't think there'd be any change needed there.So how does this work for college football, schedules and crowning a conf and National champion?

only the CA schools in the mountain west have been impacted thus farWith all the conference realignment lately, and the California schools being closed this fall (and potentially indefinitely) i wonder if any forward-thinking conferences are having discussions with any of the non-California schools in that conference?
Goal posts moved, entirely. Lockdown was to save hospitals...thankfully, mission accomplished. Time to help protect the 15% if they can't be protect themselves, for some reason, and let the 85% live life, experience either zero, mild, or moderate symptoms and probable immunity, and move on.

still, an interesting question
I have a hunch the MI and PA teams will play.Also I wonder could we potential see a free for all type schedule. For example say Michigan, Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan St, Penn St, NW state regulations don't allow them to play football this year. Could we see Nebraska replace games with another BIG10 team or maybe even go out of conf and play a team from another area that is open.
Here are some articles on herd immunity, with information from actual epidemiologists (as opposed to armchair ones found on college football chat boards):

Those guys and their ilk can stay home inside for 5 years until a "vaccine" is found. The rest of us will take our chances. When half the population of Sweden dies, I'll start paying attention.
You're right, I've never seen a Nebraska game in person....well, except for the ones I have.Let no reality stay in his own domain and get fat eating pizzas.. He isn’t one of us who have seen a game amongst the Red Sea so who cares about his opinion..
You mean "ilk" like epidemiologists....none of whom in the links I posted said to stay inside for 5 years?Those guys and their ilk can stay home inside for 5 years until a "vaccine" is found. The rest of us will take our chances. When half the population of Sweden dies, I'll start paying attention.
Yeah that’s not enough games to comment budYou're right, I've never seen a Nebraska game in person....well, except for the ones I have.
In Boulder- 1997, 2003, 2007, 2009
2015 vs Northwestern in Lincoln
2016 vs Illinois in Lincoln
So yes, other than those 6 games, I've never been to one.
And...I didn't offer an opinion. I just posted links.
I can’t tell if you are trolling or seriousLet no reality stay in his own domain and get fat eating pizzas.. He isn’t one of us who have seen a game amongst the Red Sea so who cares about his opinion..
