P5 Commissioners talking to each other about no fall football UPDATE: Could B1G Still Be Played?


Not sure where you get the relationship with the players as the real issue. Nothing about that in this article.

Sources: Power 5 talking about no fall football https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29629669/power-5-talking-no-fall-football
via @ESPN App http://espn.com/app

Commissioners of the Power 5 conferences held an emergency meeting on Sunday, as there is growing concern among college athletics officials that the upcoming football season and other fall sports can't be played because of the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN.

Several sources have indicated to ESPN that Big Ten presidents, following a meeting on Saturday, are ready to pull the plug on its fall sports season, and they wanted to gauge if commissioners and university presidents and chancellors from the other Power 5 conferences -- the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC -- will fall in line with them.

Sources told ESPN that a vast majority of Big Ten presidents have indicated that they would vote to postpone football season, hopefully to the spring. A Big Ten official confirmed to ESPN that no official vote took place during Saturday's meeting.

Don’t you think there would be an issue putting the fall and maybe winter sports together with the spring sports? Many schools share facilities with multiple sports. Logistics will be a nightmare, not to mention trying to social distance multiple sports teams using the facilities.

There isn’t a simple answer to this complex situation. :confused:

I would think if they do it, its not going to be full season. Six games is what I have heard

Football is the cash cow and will win out if they decide to do it.

There are ramifications regardless of the decisions made during this complex situation. :confused:

Well the answer to that one should be no, if they "care" about the health of the student athlete.
