The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a stop to major sports with increasing concerns for whether or not the 2020 college football season will start on time. As coaches and college administrators continue to navigate their way through an unprecedented time, there is reportedly talk about moving the upcoming season into 2021.
According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, one possibility being discussed around the NCAA is playing the season in spring 2021. The idea, which has reportedly been talked about by coaches and administrators, would allow teams more time to prepare for a potential season.

Geaux Tigers!!!
Really, who cares about a bunch of self-centered jocks?
sucks man
First it was the rest of March,
then until Easter,
then April 30,
then sometime in June.
Now everyone starting to talk about canceling things in the fall.
Is it too early to talk about canceling trick or treating for the kids? What about Christmas? Maybe Santa shouldnt be leaving his North Pole. He could get infected.
There doesn’t seem to be an end to this. They are going to keep everything shut down until there is a vaccine (which may never come).
bull ship.....just stop this crap already.....
Of course, you won't mind missing college football this fall. You'll be enthralled with March November Madness and the NBA Playoffs.
Finally, a spring league worth watching.
Funny, life is pleasent without sports. Who would have thunk it?
Guess I will stick with HS ball.
Is this to coincide with the COVID-20 sesason?
Don’t bet that there will be any HS football games this Fall. = Many ISD boards are filled with “NERVOUS NELLIES”, who are unwilling to take ANY risk, no matter how small.

2020-The Year That Did Not Happen.
Spoken like a guy who lives in a state where they don't play high level college football.
Prediction: this will end sooner than everyone thinks, due to innovation from medical people, herd immunity and panic overhype immunity when people tire of media exaggeration.
A 300 lb. charging linebacker, oblivious to his own well being on a collision course with a fit 19 year old, is much more of a menace than a mere virus.
It all makes sense now. Michigan is having a high infection rate as the only way to avoid humiliation in “The Game”. It just means that they’ll have to be spanked twice by Ohio State in 2021.
Ok, say they do that. Start in April and run through June. That’s 12 weeks, the length of a season. Do you have an abriviated bowl season? When it the national championship played, August? September? No, kicking off in the spring would be ludicrous. The schools would go right from that season to the next in barely two months. It just would not work. Just scratch this year if it is deemed so.
Not to mention the Deep Fall Classic (AKA, the Thanksgiving
World Series.)
They’re already running the Kentucky Derby in September.
