Regional? Like WVU playing TTU?

an idea I had is for espn to search games from each team from the past 15 or so years and find their best non-cons and conference games, then patch them together as a regular "all-star game" season and air them as if they were a normal football saturday.
k-state vs usc, miami, and another non con, then our kickass conference wins would obvs be ours

Keep it conference to conference testing. WV is a low state for positive cases. Private plane, game-to-game. No non con makes sense for in conference play.

should work out fine since there aren't any states that have Div 1 schools in different conferences. Indiana, Iowa, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky...all examples of states that fit that mold.

If anything, games further away from home would be safer because fewer fans would travel.

maybe the cats could just play in state schools.. ku, washburn, emporia state, pittsburg, some jucos. just a battle for the sunflower state

that is honestly an incredibly horny idea

50 schools could hang a giant banner at the end of the year. And would forever be kings of the state. And KU would be happy as well because they'd finish at least .500.

We'd travel well to Hays, Emporia, and Topeka too.

Maybe we can set a record for most fans traveling inside state lines.

Play ku 12 times, then we won't have to wait as long to hear the head to head smack talk crap from them. Even if you lose to them once or twice you'd gain massively on them.

Let all other conferences cancel and then crown the big 12 champ as national champs.

I've changed my mind on this, I want them to play and I like the conference only model. Not playing football will have implications on these universities that may be irreversible. I think the schools should be online only and the campuses should be used as bubbles for fall sports athletes. The students report after Labor Day and the sports start in October. Winter sports would also be conference only, starting in January with the thought that campuses would be able to safely open by then.

steve dave · « **Reply #390 on:** July 10, 2020, 09:54:29 PM »

I agree 100% that the not playing football will be devastating to the universities. And I honestly bet it happens in some format (DESPITE MY STILL PRESCIENT CALL THAT IT WOULD NOT). But, there is a zero percent chance a general student population doesn't return to (most) campus this fall. there is not an appetite for it from the students, their parents, the government, or the institutions. The only ones who DO have that desire generally don't have money in the pot (there are exceptions obv). It being the "Right" thing to do is a tertiary factor unfortunately.

As a separate point I'm glad it's a wake up call for universities relying on sports revenue so much now, leading into player professionalism, which will happen.

Have a Kansas cup modeled after the FA Cup. Just let anyone in the damn thing. Yes it would be a great morale boost for KU

It's really the right thing for the universities to do, keep students off campus. I don't think any of these schools have the money or time to keep these students safe. A local district here put half a mile of plexiglass in one high school. How will they manage that on a campus with dozens of buildings and resident halls? That's not even taking into account that they don't have the ability to quarantine the students before they arrive on campus or do it for two weeks on campus before classes start. If these campuses open they will all be super spreader greenhouses.

Idk about all that, but what I DO know is that Mustang needs to call out Bama and Clemson now for one game to decide the season.

BYU won’t have a season after everyone goes conference only

A conference only season is exciting to think about but it reeks of desperation

If we go conference only it makes sense to bring them in for a year to get to 10 games.

Not gonna lie, I would get a lot of petty satisfaction to see ND with no games this season.

I can only speak with knowledge about one school but they absolutely want students on campus. They know they won’t get away with charging full tuition without it. And can’t afford the sunk capital costs with nobody on campus. And obviously they know they probably won’t be able to suckle on the football teet to make up for it. Most of what is being done is just using auditorium, arena, etc space for classrooms to social distance and getting weird with the schedule. They aren’t retrofitting every room with dividers or anything.

The crisis this week was looking up every foreign registered student and making sure they had enrolled in at least 1 on campus course so our big dumb president didn’t try to deport them. Foreign students pay a gigantic portion of tuition since they are the only ones that really pay “full” price.
