Move to Spring

Topic

[Data Dawg]

I have been firmly in this camp for awhile but, with the Michigan announcement, my resolve is clearer than ever: MOVE THE SEASON TO THE SPRING!

While nothing is promised with the spring, the odds of a CFB season being somewhat normal are astronomically higher than they would be now. In fact, moving to the spring could allow for schedules to be maintained (including a Michigan game) and, in my mind most importantly, the ability for tailgates and fans.

If in am being honest, the last point has always been the selling point for me. I love football, obviously I do. But husky football is so much more than the game for me. Meeting up with my college friends and spending time on Montlake is one of the highlights of my year. I would much rather wait a couple extra months and get to see games in person and maybe even a normal schedule than I would this conference only + no fans half season that we would have instead.

I don’t see how that would change anything. Like I keep saying, vaccine or no vaccine, Rona is going to be making the rounds every year for a while. It’s not going to be erradicated from the human population for a long time. You can’t keep fucking with these kid’s football careers for no good reason. Cancelling games and pushing the season back any amount of months won’t change a damn thing. The spread of Rona will probably be worse in the Spring than it is now due to kids going back to school and a lot of people going back to work outside of their homes. Then what?

We as a society need to get to the acceptance phase and get back to some level of normalcy with reasonable precautions. This pushing back the season and cancelling games bullshit isn’t about reason. It’s about these conference’s trying to figure out what they need to do from a public relations stand point to seem like they give a fuck. The BIG-10 has started the virtue signalling and now the other conference’s must follow or else they look like the bad guys.

Moving to spring would give the players literally zero down time before starting the following season. Uber Meyer was vocal on this today and said that the players need 2-3 months to recover after a season. Without it would put them at extreme risk of injuries. There’s no easy solution here

Taking out OOC play has the convenient effect of delaying the season for a month. That puts the start at 3 months from now.

Probably no chance of having crowds, just about letting conferences that can play, play. And recouping the TV money.

If they can get through this summer camp without infections or at least minimal and quarantined positive results, then they will all know the likelihood of conducting league play.

It will also let CFB see how the NFL handles this.

8 game conference only season in October, playing teams with closest proximity to each other. Half ass a conference champ game if possible, limited playoffs/bowls if any.

Just get the season over with to keep the poorer schools floating so that in 2021 there are better solutions to everything going on.
