Wagner is likely an option for us. You have to assume Miami won’t pay them to fly from NY to FL to play and will choose either Temple or UAB instead

First of many? VT Caleb Farley is opting out of season to prepare for NFL draft.

Guess I should bet ND cancels the Arkansas game ahead of the Navy game given the the streak. Navy would have to head to South Bend per the new ACC +1 rules.

As it relates to currently schedules UVA/UNC games:

>>All non-conference game opponents, selected by the respective school, must be played in the home state of the ACC institution, and all non-conference opponents must meet the medical protocol requirements as agreed upon by the ACC<<

ACC with the preemptive Hail Mary

So silly, just postpone the season to 2021

Too much $$ to just cancel the season. They will need to be forced away from the trough.

and still, there will not be a season. Maybe some games, but not much. NFL players reporting Covid now and their protocols are far more extreme.

Welp...

The Northeast Conference will announce shortly that it has postponed all fall sports competition and championships, a source tells @TheAthleticCFB. This includes football (FCS). NEC presidents will reconvene again by October 1 to evaluate competitive options moving forward.

After a 132 year run as an independent, ND's future as an independent might come to an end soon. Swarbick is all for being a full member of the ACC.

Why the Notre Dame-ACC marriage of convenience may evolve into a meaningful relationship beyond 2020

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Yes. But there are antitrust issues involved in groups of colleges cancelling contracts with those outside a cabal and not inside it. Not that anyone seems to care about antitrust issues in college sports.

The P5 conferences are engaging in dangerous and magical thinking. The entire fall plan is built around their conference TV contracts, not player or coach safety. I don't know the negligence statutes in every state, but if they are like Connecticut, there is no waiver for negligence. Which means, any player or coach that gets seriously ill or dies can sue the school and the individual AD's and presidents for negligence, and a schedule that takes no steps to protect the players could be all that is needed to win the case. It could also provide enough of a window for the schools' liability insurers to deny coverage. Also not clear if the state universities have to indemnify the ADs or Presidents if they do something that violates recommended state health or CDC policy.

Streak is broken. Guess this will be a trivia question someday.

 

[Exit 4]

Guess everyone has decided its a good time to talk about finances.

Every school attempting to play will need to work hard to get buy in from the players and for some programs it just might not happen. Forfeits seem likely along the way.

For what it's worth, an ACC with Notre Dame as a full member can easily go up against the SEC in football.

Chestnut Hill...Boston College University announced today that it was updating its motto. The old motto, “Ever to Excel” is being replaced with a new updated version. Effective August 12, the schools motto will ”The only principal that matters is that upon which interest is paid.” For. William Leahy, the school’s president, said that the new, updated motto was intended to reflect the school’s more current values. According to Leahy, “Back in the old days, this institution tried to reflect Catholic social teachings and encourage students to reach for the stars. But, you know, since we get tons of cash for sending our football team to COVID hotspots, and we have no intention of giving up one penny, no matter how risky it is, we decided to change our motto to reflect our true values. This one does it”.

According the a BC spokesperson, other mottos considered included,
Show Me The Money, Anything for a Buck, and We’ve Established What We Are, Now We’re Just Dickering About Price. The latter motto had some support among faculty since it was based on a comment by a famous author, But the spokesman said The Principal one was selected because it sounded best in Latin.

Rough start to the Mike Norvell era at FSU:

Rough start to the Mike Norvell era at FSU:

No worries, FSU Fußball vor allem (football above all) and parents questioning coaching and athletic department cover ups never matter. Stay on the FSU storyline:

Potentially up to 1K tests may be available by some undefined date. Results possibly in up to 24 hours.

Enrollment > 40K fluttering about FSU campuses, communities, etc.

After all, it's just the Sunshine State with among the nation's highest SARS-2 infection rates and new 14-day cases.
