Shit be getting real. This is a bad, bad sign. And it turns out you can't pick Yale this season, even if you wanted to. I had not heard that people were even considering bumping the season to Spring 2021, which I still don't think would work because I doubt we'll have an effective vaccine even by then.
But, and much more importantly for us, that would be a nightmare scenario BRFL draft since many players eligible for the 2021 NFL draft would doubtless skip the college season.
While there are coaches and administrators who still don't get it the evidence for cancellation of this season is adding up. The last I heard the BIG had trimmed back to a "conference only" season which is a pop-corn fart away from a "no games" season.
To be honest, when I first started hearing about this "novel coronavirus" I wasn't that impressed. And now? It's weird. We've kind of become almost used to it. Until you get reminded of the depth of the fallout even at places like Stanford.
In the end the fallout from this (cancelled) season is going to be bigger than most of us imagined. For everyone who got fat off the NFL's unpaid feeder system that was and is college football, the convergence of Black Lives Matter and College Football (um, Black players)/Covid 19 is bound to shake things up.

ReplyDeleteThat little weasel Paul Finebaum says that per SI's Ross Dellenger, the expectation is that the SEC may wait a couple of weeks to make a decision on their 2020 football season...
ReplyDeleteAgree with The Commish For Life, not looking very poromising.
This kinda smells like the dance of looking like they are deliberating when the die is already cast.
