College football, as we know it, will not exist this fall. It will have a hard time coming back

Nobody wants to watch a bunch of spoiled, whiny, sniveling brats disrespect the flag, law-enforcement, and tear down our country. We have that now. All we have to do is turn on the Evening News.

I'm afraid so. The operating expenses of every major sports program are so high (due in no small part to Title IX) that the lack of one year's income from football may leave them seriously impaired. Unless administrations are willing to dip into endowments or, in the case of large state institutions, the state governments bail them out.

That last is the worst possible outcome as far as I am concerned.

This should cause Universities to think about their primary missions and their priorities.

The RRR and the State Fair of Texas are two different things. Cancelling the State Fair has zero impact on the football game as it stands.

College football, in and of itself, though, is obviously an entire separate conversation. In our case, like 25 separate conversations.

Correct the game is still scheduled until the NCAA cancels everything for the Fall which I expect to happen soon.

It can be played at the Cotton Bowl in the Spring if that is when football occurs as well. The game just coincides traditionally with the fair. It isnt actually part of the fair.

It's really hard to separate Texas/OU from the Fair. Like I said, college football no longer exists as we've known it. Schools scrambling for dollars just to stay viable and afloat will contribute heavily to this situation.

As Merle Haggard once mused . . . Are the good times really over for good?

It is just one season that the fair will not occur at the same time.

There's whole you tube channels dedicated to this with much more raw footage and dudes in their basements commenting and laughing etc at this stuff.

What we need is an election to end all this.

That's the biggest antidote. I hope y'all are crushing it in the stock market while the headlines try to trick you

Are you aware that the stock market has grown an average of 142 points since Trump took office and grew an average of 125 points a month during the Obama years? Not much difference and Obama took over a collapsed economy such as Trump has created.

Exactly true. This football season will not happen absent a safe vaccine, or sound effective treatment without side effects which outweigh its use, hence, there will be no college football season this year - too much of a risk, and potential liability....

Yep.. This manipulated fed pump is going to end up crashing spectacularly. Hopefully those people "crushing it in the stock market" are taking their profits soon before everything drops 50+%.

The entire Oklahoma economy depends on Texas-OU weekend.

They'll be forced to ask the casinos for a bailout.
