Now that I have MLB/NHL/NBA as a baseline, college football w/o fans is lacking so, so much that I think they're better off waiting.

The whole spring FB thing by everyone is a BS red herring.

How could the NCAA possibly ask student athletes to play spring football? That’s asking them to play 2 football seasons in 1 calendar year. I surely hope the rumors are not true.

The NCAA is not asking anyone to play. Individual Schools/Conferences themselves are throwing it out as a scam to hold on to season tix payments/deposits and upfront sponsorship $ to make a few bucks in interest until they have to return it next yr.

So essentially just an empty promise for said schools fanbases so that the school saves a bit of cash from all this? my apologies, i was mistaken.

I am glad I do not have the very low opinion that a few posters here seem to have of HC. I don't see the school as running any sort of "scam" on the students and families. There are many issues in play and I see the college as trying its best to get the community through this as we move forward.

Supposedly, the PAC-12 is moving fall sports to spring. We'll see what the oifficial announcement says. Here was the official announcement since I have not seen it posted SAN FRANCISCO - The Pac-12 CEO Group voted unanimously to postpone all sport competitions through the end of the 2020 calendar year. The decision was made after consultation with athletics directors and with the Pac-12 COVID-19 Medical Advisory Committee who expressed concern with moving forward with contact practice. The report and updated guidelines of the Committee can be found here: Pac-12 COVID-19 Return to Play Considerations – Aug. 10, 2020 and a full list of Committee members can be found here: Pac-12 Medical Advisory Committee. The Conference also announced that when conditions improve, it would consider a return to competition for impacted sports after January 1, 2021. Student-athletes impacted by the postponement will continue to have their scholarships guaranteed. Additionally, the Pac-12 Conference strongly encourages that the NCAA grant students who opt out of competition this academic year an additional year of eligibility. As part of their guaranteed scholarships, they will continue to have university support, including academic advising and tutoring, among other support services. “All of the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors understand the importance of this decision, and the disappointment it will create for our student-athletes, the coaches, support staff and all of our fans,” said Michael H. Schill, president of the University of Oregon. “Ultimately, our decision was guided by science and a deep commitment to the health and welfare of student-athletes. We certainly hope that the Pac-12 will be able to return to competition in the New Year.” “The health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes and all those connected to Pac-12 sports has been our number one priority since the start of this current crisis,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. “Our student-athletes, fans, staff and all those who love college sports would like to have seen the season played this calendar year as originally planned, and we know how disappointing this is.” Scott noted that while the Conference’s detailed plan to keep student-athletes safe was working in accordance with the Pac-12 COVID-19 Medical Advisory Committee guidelines and state and local government orders, the situation was becoming more challenging: “Unlike professional sports, college sports cannot operate in a bubble,” he said. “Our athletic programs are a part of broader campuses in communities where in many cases the prevalence of COVID-19 is significant. We will continue to monitor the situation and when conditions change we will be ready to explore all options to play the impacted sports in the new calendar year.” “We know that this is a difficult day for our student-athletes, and our hearts go out to them and their families,” added Scott. “We have made clear that all of their scholarships will be guaranteed, and that as a Conference we are strongly encouraging the NCAA to grant them an additional year of eligibility.” About the Pac-12 Conference The Conference has a tradition as the “Conference of Champions,” leading the nation in NCAA Championships in 54 of the last 60 years, with 529 NCAA team titles overall. The Conference comprises 12 leading U.S. universities - the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Colorado, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Stanford University, the University of Southern California, the University of Utah, the University of Washington and Washington State University.

I can now cancel my PAC 12 package on Comcast. 😊
I have no intention of watching reruns from years past.

Story circulating today that the Big Ten (under pressure for cancelling the fall season) is considering a winter season starting early January with all games being played at indoor facilities (Minneapolis, Indy and Syracuse among them). The players and parents pressure has been intense.

When did Syracuse join the Big 10?
There is Ford Field for the Michigan schools.
The only other two I can think of, and they're pretty far-fetched; are Skydome and whatever the St. Louis facility is now called.

That was why they couldn’t play home game and bringing in contagion from the USA with 30 home games is a real threat
