fake headline

I think that’s nearly exactly the headline from the article, substituting ‘may’ for ‘will’.

 

[psu00]

Well, that will certainly increase the pressure on the governor of Michigan.

On a side note, it would be 1 sure way to prevent Michigan from another 3rd place finish in the East.

 

[Lion8286]

Darn, I really thought Michigan had a chance to beat Ohio State this year.

Oh who am I kidding.

 

[LionJim]

Well, that will certainly increase the pressure on the governor of Michigan.

University president’s call.

 

[psu00]

University president’s call.

The Michigan president makes the call on the university decisions, within limits of CDC and state guidelines/ restrictions.

my point was the article headline

Does Harbaugh get a bonus for going undefeated?

Good...another win on our record and one step closer to the playoffs. I would have to assume MSU wouldn’t play and would give us two wins.

 

[Carl Spackler]

If other conference schools play would not UM's forfeits place them last in our division?

Can't blame them. When you're playing for 3rd in the division, why bother?

 

[Connorpozlee]

They’ll do anything to avoid another loss to Ohio State.

Tough being the biggest nit picker in the room.

Pres not optimistic on any Fall sports happening. He "expressed skepticism about the viability of fall sports being played at all this year'.

Too bad for them. Hopefully PSU admin & BOT show some fortitude and open up early June for athletes like other B1G teams.
We were in Tenneessee the last few days. I predict if the SEC doesn't play football this year, there will be alot of politicians voted out of office. You DO MOT mess with football season in the SEC. There are some interesting stories down there about not allowing politics to interfere with Saturday football games, especially in Louisiana which normally holds many of their primaries on Saturdays in the fall. They purposely schedule them when LSU is on the road.

Great way to avoid another third place finish.

 

[BobPSU92]

This is what we’re up against.

Finally found a way to avoid losing to Ohio State next year!

If that happens, the least we can do is send them an Honorary Third Place Trophy

 

[lurkerlion]

If I understand the situation, if the students don't come back at any school, football should be canceled--perhaps has to be canceled. How can it be safe for players but not students?

If all classes are online, is the university really open?

Well, we already know it is safe for students to come back to college and for players to play. What we don’t know is if the politicians will prevent either or both groups from coming back.

there will not be a college football season

Unless something goes completely off the rails at this point, there will be a season.

Even out here on the wacky left coast/Portland, things are quickly going back to normal. Other than my gym not being open and not being able to get a haircut, you cannot tell that we are in the middle of a pandemic... stores are open, traffic is normal, panhandlers are aggressive as usual, etc.

Things are coming back to normal but the universities do not want to take the blame for an outbreak. IF there is a season there won't be anyone in attendance. I highly doubt that every school will participate

I want the cfp and I don't care how it happens. Good.

 

[BobPSU92]

um shouldn’t be playing football because of dr. handerson.

 

[PAgeologist]

Question is, will Rutgers still find a way to lose to Michigan.

 

[Lion84]

I think there will be a season and there will be fans at 50% capacity maybe. What will be tricky is how they divy up tickets. My daughters college already said they will be back for in person classes this fall - it is in Georgia.

That’s nice to know. Princeton just said they’ll hold off on deciding until “early July.”

Happened before, could happen again..

1st of all... I do NOT see Michigan being "man on an island" and being one of the few schools not playing. If the majority of B1G schools play, all of the SEC schools play, all of the Big12 play .... then I do NOT see Michigan as "odd man out" and not playing.

BUT .... let's just hypothetically say that does happen. Can you imagine the migration of players from Michigan to other programs that are playing. To 17-22 year old guys, 1 year is an eternity. You ask a 17-22 year old to sacrifice 1 year, and it's like asking a 50 year old to sacrifice 10 years.

I'd say every player on Michigan's roster who is in their final season of eligibility in 2020 will consider a hardship transfer. Yes, they could always petition the NCAA to come back in 2021, but again to 20-21 year olds, waiting a full year is an eternity. Why would they put their final season of college football on hold until 2021, when they can simply transfer to a school that is playing. How about the guys who would be entering their 3rd year out of HS and after this year would be eligible to leave early for the NFL. I'd bet those guys would not want to stick around and wait. They already had it in their heads that they would spend 3 years in college then go pro. They are not waiting until 2021, they'd transfer as well.

Again, I do not see Michigan going thru with this. I see them caving and falling in line and playing games. But if they do, this would have serious ramifications on their roster. Think of how long it took us to rebuild our roster from being short on scholarships.

 

[Texas Lion]

Don't a high percentage of football players already take online classes? I seem to remember reading about Joe Burrows schedule being online and am pretty sure JT Barrett was 100% online his last year. so to those that ask if you could have football without people on campus, the answer is yes.

Its a percentage. Whether it's a high percentage, or higher than the average student on campus who also has access to online classes - have not seen any information/data to that end.

That sign is on I-75. You’re only other choice is to turn around and head back to ohio. So, should I cut my balls off or cut my dick off?

MSU announced they are bringing students back on campus in the fall. That just upped the stakes for UM.

The two seating options being discussed right now are checkerboard (18K) or serpentine (42K). I am afraid that Barron will make a cya decision and cancel season to avoid lawsuits, because there is NO way to adequately implement CDC recommendations in a football stadium. Ever try to socially distance at a piss trough? We should just get everyone to sign a waiver on their way into the stadium.

 

[Texas Lion]

If most others play and Barron cancels PSU Seasons, then that is it....worse than the NCAA Sanctions. Why? Because the kids will understand that a cure isn't a sure thing so Barrons idea could technically last forever.

It also shows where we are as a society. There is no inherent risk in anything because everyone just sues. We are now making decisions not based on the virus but based on what some asshole will sue you for if they get it.

Ah, I see you've been there already

 

[Texas Lion]

and just like that I just saw an article where a young lady has filed a lawsuit against CalU-PA because the online learning experience wasn't face to face!

It is people like this that need to get their shit straight.
