That's true, just had spring in my mind based on today's reports. Delay it by a month and maybe not, I guess I just don't see that as likely right now. And I find it highly unlikely that the NFL would do this but if they pushed the Draft back some, it might get some players to play in the spring. But if I'm in the Justin Fields realm, no way I risk playing in the spring right around the Draft when I'm a guaranteed top 5 pick.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
President Donald Trump joined a U.S. senator and a number of coaches Monday in the push to save the college football season from a pandemic-forced shutdown.
There was speculation that two of the five most powerful conferences — the Big Ten and the Pac-12 — might call off their seasons. Farther east, Old Dominion canceled fall sports and became the first school in the Bowl Subdivison to break from its league in doing so; the rest of Conference USA was going forward with plans to play.
A Big Ten spokesman said no votes had been taken by its presidents and chancellors on fall sports as of Monday afternoon and the powerful Southeastern Conference made clear it was not yet ready to shutter its fall season.
“Best advice I’ve received since COVID-19: ‘Be patient. Take time when making decisions. This is all new & you’ll gain better information each day,’” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey posted on Twitter. ”Can we play? I don’t know. We haven’t stopped trying.”
A growing number of athletes have spoken out about saving the season with Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence among the group posting their thoughts on Twitter with the hashtag #WeWantToPla. Trump threw his support behind them Monday.
“The student-athletes have been working too hard for their season to be cancelled,” he tweeted.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh took a different stand, saying the Wolverines have shown players can be safe after they return to school.
“I’m not advocating for football this fall because of my passion or our players desire to play but because of the facts accumulated over the last eight weeks since our players returned to campus on June 13,” he wrote. “I am advocating on August 10 that this virus can be controlled and handled because of these facts.”
Sen. Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, picked up on the safer-with-football theme in a letter to the presidents and chancellors of the Big Ten.
“Life is about tradeoffs. There are no guarantees that college football will be completely safe — that’s absolutely true; it’s always true,” he wrote. “But the structure and discipline of football programs is very likely safer than what the lived experience of 18- to 22-year-olds will be if there isn’t a season.”

If any of the old people running the universities think cancelling this season will put the brakes on players organizing I think they're mistaken. Social media makes it easy for players to come together, they've grown up with it, and it's not going away. If anything a cancelled season will only further the movement in more rapid fashion.

What the B1G should've done for their season schedule after they cancelled the OOC games is to delay the start of the season until Oct 3rd, and play eight conference games with Oct 31st being a conference-wide bye week (games on Oct 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and then on Nov 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th).

You know what? Chicken butt.
Can’t believe I’m going to say this but in a strange way, I can find some sliver of meaning to this whole debacle to ultimately witness something that was bound to happen eventually and should happen: college football will never be the same.
The bullshit bureaucracy, all the phony smoke and mirrors with the sham that is the NCAA....I see this pandemic being the catalyst for it all crumbling down. Like I say, it was bound to happen eventually.
I just hope the right system emerges from the ashes. I hope it’s right by the players specifically. The fact that these guys even have to start this #wewanttoplay movement speaks volumes.
What a fucking joke the NCAA is.

Might work, you could add a couple more games in December to get to 10 and play the B1G Championship on December 19th. However, the original 9 games and a second bye week might be a good idea; and I'm sure the B1G Network would like staggered bye weeks if possible to have programing every week, etc.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Yeah, lived through that storm this afternoon around 4:00 PM. Have a friend with a 65 ft tree on his house... and Doc Brown ain’t getting back to 1985 any time soon...
That is / was College Church in Wheaton. South side of campus (where the Church is) through to Glen Ellyn (next town over) is a war zone. Three blocks north and we have a few branches down. Either a tornado or path of microbursts came through on a straight line a couple of blocks south of us.
Hope it died out before it got to you guys in Ohio.

You don't need ten conference games. We've been playing only nine conference games for the last four seasons and that's after playing eight conference games for three decades.

Think about it, football occupies their time and gives them a reason/incentive to follow safe protocols. These are college kids, otherwise you know it would be "party on dudes":

You kids stay off my lawn!
My guess is that the real decision is being made by insurance companies. No school with an endowment fund to protect is going to play football unless the threat is covered and no insurance company is going to cover the risk of a pandemic with life long consequences.
