There is always the world series of poker and the july4 hot dog eating contest...

I believe hot dog contest was sans fans. Wait, Have I just described sports in 2020?

The Pac-12’s decision extends to all sports like the Big Ten’s. It’s also postponing the start of mandatory athletic activities for all fall sports “until a series of health and safety indicators, which have recently trended in a negative direction, provided sufficient positive data to enable a move to a second phase of return-to-play activities.”

Pac-12 follows Big Ten's lead and won't play non-conference games in 2020

The Big Ten said Thursday that it would only play conference games if it had fall sports seasons.

What this means is that football powers won't be able to pad their records and bowl chances by crushing Lightweight State and Patsy U.

Yeah - I think it would make a lot more sense if they want to play games to just scrap the whole idea of conference play and create new schedules within state/region. All games become bus trips. Give the athletes games and the networks/fans something to broadcast/watch. Might actually create a more fun vibe when no one was trying to win championships, but just enjoying competing.

ESPN and Fox won’t allow the bus trip games. Of course we’re told it’s all about the health and safety of the student athletes. Will likely all be moot but the corruption of college sports is being revealed again.
