I think there will be an NFL season but no college football. The NFL is run by rich white males, Trump will do everything in his power to help them have a season, including sending valuable test kits and PPE. They'll play in empty stadiums for the TV revenue. I'm expecting some crazy stuff to happen but that's never stopped them from putting peoples health at risk to make money.

College has a bigger problem as it's tied to, well, the colleges being open and the legality of quarantining kids to play football instead of going to class. I think there is too much red tape to get through to have it all work out. They'll probably have to delay the season, which is also weird for the NFL draft because of injury risk and not much time off before they'd be playing for the NFL in September. Guys like Trevor Lawrence who is already considered the #1 pick probably sit out entirely in this scenario as it'd be to risky to play and get hurt and not have time to recover. Ultimately I think the season gets canceled all together and hopefully by 2021 we have better solutions to containing Covid-19.

Its a crazy time and crazy situation, stay safe everyone!

That would make the 2021 Draft something else... teams really would have no idea who to draft!

Burrow's probably a 5th rounder without his 2019 tape... that's just bananas to think stuff like that could happen.

The Pac-12 and Big Ten might be considering whether to play or not, but the ACC remains on track to kick off its season next month.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has heeded the advice of its medical advisory group, and the chair of that committee said he believes football can be played safely.

Dr. Cameron Wolfe, a Duke infectious disease specialist, told Sports Business Daily doctors have learned enough about COVID-19 the past six months to manage the risk.

“We believe we can mitigate it down to a level that makes everyone safe,” Wolfe told The Daily, via ESPN. “Can we safely have two teams meet on the field? I would say yes. Will it be tough? Yes. Will it be expensive and hard and lots of work? For sure. But I do believe you can sufficiently mitigate the risk of bringing COVID onto the football field or into the training room at a level that’s no different than living as a student on campus.”

Wolfe stated the obvious to ACC officials and league athletic directors: It is impossible to create a “zero-risk environment.” But he added “look at all of the regular sporting injuries that we accept as a certain level of risk as part and parcel of football.”

The ACC plans an 11-game schedule, which includes one non-conference game, beginning the weekend of Sept. 12. All schools, including Notre Dame, which will play in the ACC this season, will follow the same testing protocols.

Wonder if this will be the end of the NCAA. Can see the Southern schools playing and allowing all players from schools that have football closed to move and play immediately and if the NCAA does not like it to create a new 30 - 40 school super pack and hope the north cannot recover.
