A One Off or the Start of a Trend?

Maybe so few teams will play that we can get a game.

We don't have a losing record

If you think about it, that rumor about the Rose Bowl being moved makes sense. Why are we going to fly Alabama/Clemson/ND/Ohio State across the country to play in an empty Rose Bowl, with none of the pageantry, then fly them back home? Put that semi in Nashville.

Did these schools/conferences receive all their media rights feed save bowl appereances?

You know I'm going to try to spin this positively. This can give us a postseason with just the playoff games and the NY6 bowls which could be a pseudo test run for moving away from bowls and actually going to a playoff like literally every other level of college football.

Except for the fact there is still 20 or so bowls with App St v. North Texas in the Myrtle Beach Bowl tomorrow to kick things off.

What do you have against BC? We have visited Vancouver 4 times and always enjoyed it.

Or do you mean BCU?

Rumors are Nebraska wants out too...



>> The USC football team has opted out of playing in a bowl game this season, a decision that was reached collectively today (Dec. 19) by the USC medical team, the Trojan players and staff, head coach Clay Helton and athletic director Mike Bohn.

The decision was made following a recommendation from the USC medical team and discussions with the Trojan football leadership council. The football program has experienced a rise in COVID-19 cases among its players and staff recently, including positive cases this past week. <<

We’ve opted out. Players already voted no.

I think playing a bowl game under these circumstances is foolish. The selling point of bowl system is it is a blast for the players and fans. It won’t be fun to quarantine, and no fans. what’s the point?

Players would have to give up xmas with family for a horrible bowl game experience. Easy choice.

And the Rose Bowl is going to be played in Texas at AT&T.

Because putting 400-500 people in a 95k stadium was too much for California and LA County to handle.

ESPN must hate seeing all the teams cancel.
