Ivy League to cancel football this fall


Jul 8, 2020, 12:04 PM

Next domino might be Patriot league.

Hopefully the Big 5 leagues can create a solid policy to protect the athletes and staff, while still allowing football this fall.

Who will protect the players and staff


Jul 8, 2020, 12:12 PM

if they don't play football.

Still gotta a life to live.

Looks to me like it would be easier to protect them in a structured environment.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agreed. Players will still be exposed around town w/ friends


Jul 8, 2020, 12:15 PM

The issue is football will be blamed if anybody gets sick, even though they could have caught it anywhere.

I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not sure how people can start pinpointing where they get it from. If so, people would already be going after Walmart, Lowe’s, HD, etc.

I just hope it doesn’t come to that, LOL sorta!

I think Rutgers is going to be the first big one


Jul 8, 2020, 12:15 PM

They're supposed to be deciding fairly soon on what they're going to do and many believe they'll cancel all their fall sports. Sure they're not a big-time football program but they are a Power 5 football program and once one goes, the dominoes really start falling.

Are they going to have in person classes? If so why no football? If you can live in a dorm and go to classes there's no reason for no football. If there are no classes I would think there will be bankruptcy.

Maybe they will be wearing masks. Football players sweat and breath all over each other.

They just hired back Greg Schiano to a massive 8 year contract with a huge buyout

In other news, our local news reported that Willy B will be at 20% capacity this season. How is that any different from the last 2-1/2 quarters of any of their games the past five years?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Did not know Schiano had returned.

I learned something new today.

Not gonna be any college sports this year. Not gonna be a vaccine, ever. Our world as we know it has officially changed because of our idiotic approach to this virus. Large companies like United will have massive layoffs and then declare bankruptcy and be required to get bailed out by our government that is already trillions in debt. Then Crazy Joe will get elected and the stock market is gonna crash. And you guys are worried about Ivy League football? Ha!

This is the first domino. More coming.

My guess is college sports won't happen this year. There is a chance some professional leagues proceed.

Re: Ivy League to cancel football this fall


Jul 8, 2020, 12:36 PM

Yeah ...there is simply no way to have football unless you simply say it doesn’t matter if someone has it or not...as long as they are physically able they can play...it’s the only way...

Otherwise there is no way to keep the players from giving it to each other both on the same team and on other teams ...and there’s no way to keep the legitimacy of competition of players have to quarantine if they have it or have been exposed... it will be a cluster this way

So only one of two choices...say screw it and everyone plays who is physically able no matter what...or cancel the season!!!

My bey is that they cancel the season at some point!!! Not sure the conferences or institutions have the nads to say screw it...lettem play no matter what happens! N

things need to improve drastically


Jul 8, 2020, 2:43 PM [ in reply to Re: Ivy League to cancel football this fall ]

In the next couple of weeks for football to become a reality this year.. I just can’t see the powers that be allowing football to be played in the spring and continuing the next season a few months later. “Ain’t” gonna happen. If we could just play the ND and SC game I could live with that ... just barely!

Re: Ivy League to cancel football this fall


Jul 8, 2020, 12:43 PM

I thought they were moving the season to spring - not cancelling. Even still....hard to fathom college football in spring. Easier for Ivy League though as they don't have any impact on the P5 leagues.

Is this the first domino to fall? I read where Vandy was doing away with their Sports Communications Dept - from what I read was a pretty big deal. Only going to get more interesting as we move closer to fall.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ivy has too many field conflicts in the fall


Jul 8, 2020, 12:48 PM

Not enough fields at some schools to play all the spring sports plus football.

I did not know they played football in the Ivy League. It surely will not be missed

That a Tiger transfer was a quarterback in the Ivy League a year or so ago.

Not a big deal.....We've got high school teams in Florida that are bigger and faster than the Ivy League could handle.
