Though not a major player, I just saw the Big Sky cancelled football this fall. Likely not the last conference to do so.

I read yesterday that Luxury Larry is considering taking out a nearly billion dollar loan for PAC 12 schools.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I've been closely following the college ball situation daily. This as been the longest "bargaining" phase for coming to any sort of Covid "new normal" acceptance that we've seen yet. For lots of teams, fall camps are starting right now. Yikes.

They may try to play D1 football, but it won't last - IMO. I'm like 98% positive on this.

About 2 weeks ago, I had wrote up a good long new thread about my thoughts on "sportsball going forward" with a healthy section on college and pro ball, but I ended up deleting it. The chicken bones have already been cast.

I'm wondering if we should even try to do a college pick em' this year? We've run it for 6 years straight and have probably given (or where supposed to give) a couple grand to Children's Hospital.

This Covid stuff is lame.

Big Sky is a cupcake conference. Some teams are practicing with shields on their helmets. Some players have expressed their concerns about Corona virus. A few are opting out.

All I know is I give a hundred or so to each of the winners. I’ll be happy to host it again.

I mean...we should still try Dwat, I just don't know how. Could possibly do it as we've always done, and if they stop the season, the person with the best record wins. OR something else / different / fun? Happy to help figure it out. I believe the first games are on August 29th, but that some conferences won't even start until late September.

You guys should do women's basketball.

Sure, maybe something different.

Ducks suck.......

Condolences and prayers sent.

Don't be the problem, be the solution.

Grown men sitting around watching others achieve their goals in life on TV while their own goals fall short.

Powerbait.

I'm much too smart and much too good. He's used to trolling up lesser men, but it's usually around 2:30 am in dark Walmart parking lots.

Just pay the Lot Lizard his $20 bucks WDFW.

If there's no in person college classes happening, hard to justify football.
Well except for the money part.

You are so insightful!!

Here's the PAC12 position as of July 31.

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.
