This is a great read about the madness of College Football and college football and the current system College Football’s Great Facade Is Cracking

If North Dakota State didn't win an FCS championship, I wouldn't know who was the champ...they have won 7 of the last 8....I had to look up who was the other champ in the last 8 years.

OMG...can't follow Mount Union or Wisconsin-Whitewater or the Cortland Red Dragons...

Mary Hardin-Baylor and Mount Union had been battling, each winning two NC's in the last four until last year North Central won...but who knew?

With places, like Mississippi running out of ICU beds and staff you have to wonder how far the SEC will be willing to push this. Once you start the season the inertia becomes even greater to stick it out to a conclusion. What that conclusion looks like could be an image breaker that may exert a long term cost for short term gain.

In a near zero revenue situation for the MAC, skipping football for 2020 is certainly a net gain financially.

Perhaps we've inspired the MAC.

ESPNU's Full Ride said a G5 program will be cancelling football tomorrow and an entire G5 football conference may cancel in a few days (likely the MAC).

MAC is apparently already under pretty tough revenue issues and then the conf only scheduling took away a lot of the pay day games. Of course there are other concerns like health and liability!! Just saying.

The G5 program- Either New Mex St or UMass I would think.

Huskies are smart dogs.

Someone explain this to me like I am 5: why would cancelling the season lead coaches to think rosters will be raided? What schools have room on their roster at this point for the 2020 season? Is the NCAA going to grant immediate eligibility to students that transfer? And if they are going to are they going to expedite such a decision that it is decided before the season starts?

Transfer now...sit out a year that you weren't going to play anyway...and play next year.
