Guess you need an invite to get in.

Nope, just thick skin and a high pain tolerance.

 

[RandomGuy]

With Mich state out, have to think any B1G opting back in is less likely...

With ND at least 2 weeks off(I suspect indefinitely) and UNC out? Does that affect the ACC?

Stay away.

Out ? UNC is still planning on playing football, if that’s what you meant.

 

[orangenauburn]

Does this invite cheating from programs to keep players eligible?


Moreso than already occurs

 

[nd1973]

ND still plans to play.

I meant the NCAA mandate said no students, no sports... But here we are.

Yea, think you have a gray area , or loophole, I believe ND is saying they are shutting down in person classes temporarily, so technically they aren’t shutting it down and both UNC and ND are pushing on with football.

ACC plan floating around to reduce campus capacity to 20%. That way they can make football $$ and say the athletes are just regular students that happened to stay.

But how much would the schools loose by havIng to refund to the general student body room and board costs?

I have a tough time believing that:

1. Shutting down temporarily doesn't mean permanently. How will the situation improve?
2. That schools will try this again in the spring.

With that said, I still cannot believe that schools are bringing so many students back in the midst of a pandemic.

Beats me. Have to think its a veiled attempt to say that they are student athletes. No students, but players, is an admission that they are there for the $$$.

Maybe they are thinking they can profit longer off of the athletic department that way, and they are factoring that in. 2020 may be the year the NCAA slaughters itself.

 

[SUMBA]

But in the case of UNC cancelling classes....How would anybody know?

Spoke to Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick. ND is pausing football practice for a day to address team questions related to the school’s decision to move all classes on-line for two weeks. Swarbrick said there were logistical questions to be resolved.

That escalated quickly.
