I’d have to say the odds are significantly in favor of no college football at all in 2020. Not sure when it comes back, at this point.
Give 'em hell!

Yeah I’ve tried to stay optimistic but it’s just a firestorm right now with no signs of stopping.

I kinda of find it interesting that this has been a trickle up instead of a trickle down.

Lower levels njcaa and smaller conferences making the call first. Now a middle of the way conference.

The MEAC has been hit hard by programs leaving the conference. I wonder if that had anything to do with this decision. The conference is struggling to survive.

That's sucks for A&T.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if all of college football is called off for 2020...maybe with the exception of just the P5's playing in their long-desired Members Only club they've been wanting for years.

The lower the level the more attendance pays the bills. I assume NJCAA school do not even have radio but in a very few select markets, maybe community access TV, but that is generally without ads and not live.

A P5 school could still bring in money with TV revenue from ad sells with OTA, cable or streaming.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.
