I don’t know all this to be true, but I really, really think it’s the case.

The thing is there’s some minimum number where it starts looking weird. My assumption is the academically inclined part of the ACC gets cold feet, and if you lose the ACC, it’s unlikely the rest stay with it.

Yeah, this is obviously just my opinion. It's how I see it playing out. And I could absolutely be wrong. In fact I hope I am, I hope we get to September 26th and things are looking good at B12 schools and they decide they can play. I'd love that. I just don't see it happening.

I think we're in agreement. I merely note the SEC has sort of dug into its position, so it may be more recalcitrant to reverse course.

I lean to thinking some games will be played.

Definitely could happen, and I expect the SEC to be the last to call it quite if/when that happens.

I think it possible the ACC bails in a couple of weeks, and the SEC/B12 hang in and start the season. That's my most likely option, I think.

They play 2-3-4 weeks and have to bail.

Maybe. Then again I wouldn’t even be a little surprised to see them all get their entire season in as well as playoffs.

East Carolina switching to online classes and has paused football

I would be surprised, not really shocked, but I view that as a probability less than 50%.

My GUESS is something like:

The SEC/B12 START the season - 65%.

They finish the ten game season - 20%.

ACC would be more like 30% and 20%.

I do wonder if we may see spring football for the B10.

It was a clear divide, with the four helmet coaches making noise, and the rest tucking tail.

But even Purdue fought against losing the football season, albeit without making the noise Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State have.

What I'm getting at is look at the context. University of Minnesota canceled their stadium security contracts with the Minneapolis PD after Floyd's death. And Minnesota's governor is particularly adamant about keeping the state closed. Maybe the Gophers are taking the posture of ducking out because they just don't have the environment or willpower from the public in place to be as ready for football? This is exactly the case out West. And speaking of ducking out, wouldn't you know rumor has it Minnesota is apparently where Kevin Warren is hiding out like the Dalton Gang did in western Kansas?

If I'm Fleck this is my cue to look for another job to include lateral moves.

Really?

Brohm got good PR for releasing a spring football plan, but I don't recall any public uproar from Brohm, Bobinski (AD), or Daniels when it was canceled.

This seems like reading a lot into this.

The original story wasn't that Kevin Warren denied that choice to hundreds of other parents. The original story was that the University Presidents made that decision.

Now the University Presidents are getting blowback, so they're changing the story to pin it all on Big Bad Warren.

I question the logic on that report. While I don't question some of the basic facts, the idea that the AD's and presidents would use Warren as some sort of go between is really odd.

You're right but I figured it worth dragging Minnesota into this mess. It's a way to find a target for my unhappiness with having to settle for only NFL this fall. What a weird year.

Fleck seems to be a popular target

especially for Badgers

Covid makes it's appearance in Tuscaloosa.

It felt more like Nebraska charged the hill and the other 3 helmets decided to flank once they saw the slaughter...
