Following the Pac-12 CEO Group’s July 10 decision to move to a Conference-only football schedule, the Pac-12 today unveiled a 10-game Conference-only schedule (available below as well as on Pac-12.com) structured to maximize flexibility, including the following features:
Season to commence on September 26 (normally Week 4), with the flexibility if necessary to commence on a later date if the situation warrants; Each team will play five home and five road games; Games that are unable to be played on their scheduled date can be made up in their bye weeks or in Week 12 (December 12), with the Pac-12 Football Championship Game, presented by 76®, now slated for December 18 or 19; and The Pac-12 Football Championship Game, presented by 76®, will be held in a home-hosted model for 2020, with the Pac-12 and partners Allegiant Stadium and the Raiders, Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and MGM Resorts International agreeing to commence hosting of the Championship Game at Allegiant Stadium in 2021 for its two-year run in Las Vegas in order to ensure a successful launch of the inaugural event.
Your longest post ever. Too bad it’s a cut and paste job. I almost thought for a moment that you were capable.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

There isn't going to be a college football season this fall.
Which is fvcked.
But I don't see it happening.

OSU is scheduling in person classes with social distancing Set. 23. Things must be different now. old days there were classes of over 200. How do you social distance that many students? Maybe Reeser Stadium will become a new learning center.
It will be interesting to see what happens this year with no college sports and "student-athletes", especially football and basketball, actually have to attend class.

Covid completes a pass to some athletes. Said athletes have long term health problems or die, and the conference, uni's and all related parties are joined in litigation....

Exactly.
As is typical, it will be insurance companies and the lawyers that work for them that put the stake in the heart of cfb if the season is cancelled.
Risk mitigation - it's a thing.

Word from the NCAA backroom is that the actual larger threat to CFB isn't Covid. It's the collective bargaining power these kids are starting to wield. As of last year, they can now be paid for their likeliness (video games, jerseys etc). Now with Covid, the star players are getting together across different teams and making player demands. They've been having player Zoom calls and put out a short list of demands / statements. The NCAA and all AD's are terrified of this.
So...blame the cancelled season on Covid, prevent the players from making further demands; stop any further collective bargaining power in it's tracks and keep the status quo in place (money flowing into the right pockets...which isn't the players).
It's always all about money. Actual health concerns and player safety will always be secondary to money. This is the American way.
Chit, the city of Tuscaloosa Alabama stands to lose over $2 billion in lost revenues just from cancelling a single Bama football season. Whole towns, universities and sportsball programs are going to be wiped off the map because of this.
