One thing is certain, this is a big blow to the fear mongers, the doom and gloom crowd. they thought that shutting down the big 10, pac 12, etc would spread everywhere, just as shutdowns did and masks did. The opposite happened. If college, pro and even high school sports can go on, then pretty much all of life can go on. they're going to have to find another way to scare people, stay tuned because they will.

Yeah...

 

Life goes on...

Rose Bowl could be sponsored by Pfizer.

Local radio had the head of gopher athletics on this morning, he blathered on about how safety has always been their top priority and how up till now they were unable to guarantee the safety of everyone, and now they can. uh huh. it's like magic.

 

One of the most dishonest conversations i've heard in a long time, and we live in dishonest times.

 

They just cant admit that back in early august they panicked, because that's their mantra, and now everyone else is playing and with the money involved, they feel they must.

Move toward fall football ramps up in Pac-12, Mountain West









 




 

The Pac-12 university presidents and chancellors will meet Friday and be presented options for staging a fall football season, but Commissioner Larry Scott says a vote by the CEO Group is not expected.


“(Friday) is a chance to get everyone caught up on what’s been a very dynamic and rapidly changing series of events over the last 24 to 48 hours,” Scott told The Associated Press on Thursday. “We’ll obviously have to decide soon, but I’m not necessarily expecting a decision (Friday).”


The Mountain West is trying to do the same and there even is some movement in the Mid-American Conference toward reconsidering a fall season.


 

“The board has asked for a plan,” Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said. That conference’s university presidents next meeting is next week.


The San Jose Mercury News reported, citing unidentified sources, that the Pac-12’s athletic directors were targeting Oct. 31 to start football season. Scott declined to confirm the report or go into any details about potential models for a season.


The Pac-12 presidents’ meeting was originally scheduled to address basketball. The NCAA set a Nov. 25 opening date for the season. Scott said for the same reasons there is hope for a fall football season there is optimism the Pac-12 will start basketball season at the same time as the rest of the country.


Thompson, whose league includes three California schools, said he has been in frequent contact with Scott.


The lifting of restrictions in California has been hurdle for the Mountain West to clear, too, but the conference is still trying to catch-up in another pivotal area.


Thompson said the goal in the Mountain West is also to have a season in place that could wrap up on Dec. 19 and allow its teams to be selected for the playoff and lucrative New Year’s Six bowls.


The Mid-American Conference, which was the first FBS league to postpone its fall sports season, indicated earlier in the week it was still focused on a winter/spring season. But some MAC players have followed the lead of their peers in Power Five conferences by pushing for a fall season on social media.


Kent State coach Sean Lewis also called for the conference to revisit the decision to punt on a fall season.
