There has already been 1 program shut it down for the upcoming season. Some of the top players will opt out also. It’s coming.
Better get ready for no season
- Thread starter BIG BLUE GURU
- Start date
UConn is an independent and with the everyone pretty much going conference games only they couldn’t get enough games to fill a schedule.
Doesn’t matter. They are the snowball that will cause the avalanche. Just wait and see
UConn FB canceling their 2020 season causing an avalanche? All six of their season ticket holders might be disappointed, but in the CFB universe it's barely a ripple. We're not talking Notre Dame....
UConn should have cancelled their season even if there wasn’t a pandemic.
UConn needs to drop to the FCS. Even in normal times, it's tough to survive in the FBS without being in a conference, even if it's something like the MAC or Sunbelt. It's brutal if you're an independent not named Notre Dame and you're in the middle of a recruiting wasteland like Storrs.
We may not have football this year, but UConn isn't leading the pack. As someone said, what choice do they have, there is no one for them to play. Don't be surprised when BYU is next. Thank the ACC for keeping ND's season alive.
Agreed Grump. The major conferences are going to play.
Hate notre dame. Wish they would be canceled forever.
Some can’t handle the truth
This country is now a joke....
I'm sure canceling the season will happen. We don't want to offend any members of Cancel Culture or BLM with the "toxic masculinity" of football.

I remember now why I don't spend much time on here. I come here looking for a football fix and end up seeing the hills have eyes.....
Pretty damn easy to leave ==========>
Its 2020 boss...this is the new normal...
The "virus" is now causing me to like posts from Kyle and occasionally a U6 fan. Strange times, but at least we'll have football, whether the virus fans like it or not. If they don't like it, they can stay home, stay safe, and socialist distance and enjoy their satanic new normal. And they can also keep parroting that "we're all in this together" (hilarious, by the way).
I remember the good old days when it was the us vs. terrorist. what ever happened to those fellas? the terrorism tactic worked well for awhile. seems like the Rona is gonna do the job even better. good news is most of the sheeple have went to the other side!!!!
Not unfortunately; fortunately. Let's get this show on the road and quickly.
Every time things look good for UK, something jumps up and bites them in the behind.
With UK a threat to win the East, unless they are hit with the bug or injury to main players, canceling the season would be natural occurrence.

Well, look at the bright side, maybe the Rona will significantly thin the terrorist numbers as well.

That’s what I’m talking’ about. A positive mental attitude!
No one gives AF about UCONN football. Their decision was an easy one on the wallet. Should save them a lot of $$$
Doubtful since its a 99.98+ survival rate and those countries are near as metabollically damaged as Westernized countries.
The problem with playing the games will be false positives. Even if the false positive rate is only 1%, if you test the whole team, coaches and support staff before leaving for a game, you are likely to get one false positive even if no one has the virus. If one positive test is cause for quarantining the team, it's going to be difficult to get through a 10 game schedule without missing some games even if no one is infected. I am not a pessimist , i have just had too many statistics courses.
You may be correct with your conclusion (I posted as much a month or two ago), but the UCONN decision is not the "snowball."
Clarify. Which part is "unfortunate?" Too much money? The fact that they will play?
I wasn't referring to wearing a mask, which is something I do myself when required.
It’s gonna do a number on the idiots in this country.
Uconn has zero to do with what happens next. People like the OP are annoying, but there are enough of them that will amp up the pressure so that I too fear that football won't happen. University presidents hate bad press and they hate liability, and it seems like corona bros and potential legal action mean lots of both.
I hope that I'm wrong. We need football.

There's a lot of reasons football probably doesn't happen this fall. States are already starting to push fall sports to the spring, and smaller FBS divisions (along with FCS and smaller) are currently talking about doing the same with decisions happening soon.
It's not like P5 schools have immunity, they are just willing to risk more because the amount of money at stake is so much more at their level.
Every campus is going to be one big Petri dish. Some players will get sick and return within two weeks no worse for wear, but there's going to be others like Xavier Thomas who are going to deal with it in at last the medium term if not longer (some could be Eduardo Rodriguez). I wouldn't think many parents want to roll the dice on their kid being in the latter groups. Not to mention older coaches or their own families they could bring it back to.
I hope we have a season, but it's hard to think odds are much better than a coin flip we get through 10-11 games. Pointing that out as a fan is reasonable, and doesn't increase the pressure. Pointing that out doesn't change the nature of the virus. It already is what it is.

It is unfortunate because if player's health was the only consideration they would not play. The schools realize they need the money and have 85 scholarship players, so if 40 get sick they can field a team. No one knows the long term effect of covid so the schools are gambling with the health of players to make money and football fans will watch because it's not their health being risked.
