2020 ND Football Schedule Options

As well, universities rely on grants for research and a large part of that is tied to the student population.

And you are correct on myocarditis. It was determined fairly quickly that myocarditis was an issue in some Covid cases. This isn't revelatory news but has since been pushed to the front by those who needs another angle on the narrative.

The Eduardo Rodriguez news is less than three weeks old.

Thank you, I should have just looked it up before. I hadn't heard about the $ part.

The schools/NCAA literally can't give them what they're asking for with compensation and salary caps. Those demands are DOA.

I'm sure Florida needs more Catholics. Let's get on board with some Vitamin D and a bilateral move to make a football factory too.

So then the media was slow to the cause. I am not a medical doctor but myocarditis and viruses are related. Covid is a virus so therefore I don't believe anyone within the medical field was shocked by seeing it develop in positive patients.

I don't think many of the players are in the medical field. A 27 year old star athlete is shut down for at least a year with heart problems which apparently resulted from the virus. Regardless of how logical you consider their concerns; I think they're sincere.

But many of those players are getting the best medical advice they will ever have in their lives. They have every right to know the risks and they have every right to not play. I do think their concerns are real... everyone's is. The players, and their families, can decide what's right for them. Schools have already committed to honoring scholarships so if a player and his family feels the risk is too great then don't play.

Serious question- has anybody on the board heard of a player go from being in seemingly good health to catching a virus or cold and developing a condition that medical experts recommend limiting strenuous exercise for 3 months or more? I get that there are cases where individuals go for a routine checkup and discover heart conditions/autoimmune diseases/cancer/etc., but if this can be directly attributed to prior COVID positive then maybe it ought not just be written off?

i would imagine when players arrive on campus they are given full medicals to detect stuff like this. It's common players get medically retired due to spinal/heart conditions not previously detected.

Reading si.com it sounds like the Big 12 is the one that is going to swing things one way or the other. B1G and PAC 12 are for no play. SEC definitely wants to play, where the ACC wants to play, but may go with whatever the Big 12 decides. Also stated the Big 12 was leaning towards "no play", but has moved off of that position some.

Has anybody been asking for money?

Players wanted half of athletic revenue.

As far as players demanding 50% of the revenue, it was the PAC 12 players that made that demand but were told that wasn't happening. I believe B1G players supported the PAC 12 players, but didn't see them or any other players demanding revenue. Did I miss something else?

I guess it usually comes off as “player A had been living with genetic disease X without knowing until discovered through a recent medical exam” but maybe that’s me making assumptions I shouldn’t be. This one seems different as it is apparently directly tied to a more recent disease. If nothing else it’s a scary symptom that still has some uncertainty as to it’s severity. I worry about the consequence of a college football player passing COVID on to a non-athlete on a campus whom then encounters serious health issues. This only increases my concern.

Big 10 postponed until spring.

tick tock ..Pac 12 you're up

Big 10 postponed until spring.

How does this work for the draft? has that been discussed yet?

 

[dublinirish]

this is going to kill them in recruiting

Justin Fields back to Georgia???

Mike Frank on ISD was saying this the other day and now i agree with him. BigTen and Pac12 presidents/AD's/coaches/surrogates in the media will push HARD for all conference to move to spring. They won't want to be seen as disadvantaged in recruiting.

I just heard a quick blurb on the radio. I doubt they even considered the draft when making the decision. This is for all for all fall sports.

The B1G just made the decision for them. From what I read they have wanted to cancel or postpone for a long time, but didn't want to be the first conference to do so in case all the others decide to play. If the ACC, SEC and Big 12 play, the recruiting world could get turned upside down.

All the more reason for the other conferences to play lol

there is no way the SEC ain't playing

 

[notredomer23]

Doubt it works, but wouldn't be mad if the BIG and PAC 12 made something work for the spring. More football year around sounds good to me.

 

[dublinirish]

sounds like Nebraska wants to play this fall. I would guess all schools barring state preventative measures are considered independents now and can schedule who they like if both schools agree?

Frost has said he wants to play, but that was if they cancelled instead of postponing IIRC. Postponing the season may have taken away any leverage he had if he had any in the first place. I have no idea how those contracts work when they join a conference.

Pac12 is done

To be fair, nobody watches them anyway

 

[greyhammer90]

Well this sucks.

 

[T Town Tommy]

The problem with spring ball is that it's probably going to have an impact on the start of next season. I would suspect a later than normal start. I doubt the NFL moves their draft either so I can see several draft projected players from the B1G opting out in favor of preparing for the draft. Can't say I would blame them. Have we seen the last of J. Fields playing CFB?
