I WOULDN’T have made the blanket statement only will play if there’s a playoffs. Here's my armchair QB plan:
-Try to get 4 G5/P5 games scheduled & a ½ doz or so FCS. Would tell the G5/P5 you will play those games REGARDLESS of the playoffs. Tells the FCS that you will play them as long as there are payoffs.

-If the playoffs are cancelled, then you ditch the FCS games. No point in playing them. Still play the 4 G5/P5 games in a 4 game exhibition type season. The NCAA allows players to play up to 4 games a season and not burn a redshirt or lose a season of eligibility.

-If there's a shortened Spring season with playoffs (doubtful), then no one burned a redshirt or season of eligibility in the Fall playing 4 G5/P5 games, and you play in the Spring. More football. Yeah!

-If there’s no Spring season, and no more football until 2021 season, then no one burned a redshirt or season of eligibility in this Fall playing 4 G5/P5 games. At least you got 4 games in vs the big boys. Maybe get a win or 2 or 3. Yeah!

-And if some or all of the 4 FBS games were cancelled, and no football until late summer 2021, oh well, JMU tried, no one burned a redshirt or season of eligibility in this Fall.

Now that is a GREAT plan. Makes perfect sense. I love how you came up with a plan to protect player eligibility and redshirt seasons. And think of the exposure this program would get
I hope you work in the JMU Athletic Department...And that is not a Lol

This is a great thought, but not a great plan. Players only get one RS season, so all of the players that have already used their RS would lose a year of eligibility for only playing in 4 games. IMO it wouldn't be worth losing a year of eligibility for 4 games.

With the new rules, an athlete can play in four games without losing their redshirt.

Yeah - you should totally ban me for providing statistics regarding college aged kids when discussing the safety of college aged kids playing sports. Sorry, its barely worth responding to most these posts because I keep getting called a racist dummy for reading statistics differently than others here. Total insanity.

Ive said it dozens of times, protect the at risk, and let everyone else manage their own risks personally, and then to their extended families.

If your grocery store, garbagemen, the guys and gals who deliver your packages and local police officers can figure out how to manage risk and spread, so can college athletic programs.

Also, I'll reiterate its a small component and I prefer to consider everything.

Well since 18-21 year olds were close to inbetween two age brackets, i referenced them both.

I am fully aware of the fact that other people work during the game. I am also aware that most everyone will be outside, which carries an insanely low risk associated with transmission. Anyone that is inside can wear a mask and socially distance.

You rely on other people to make your life go around that are putting themselves (and their families) at varying levels of risk. I tend to think that college athletics is one of the last cultural gathering places we have left between people that disagree on politics. This country is very sick, and we cant have a simple disagreement it seems by your response. I would like to see it back, the sooner the better.

Im conversing back - i just see this differently from you. Its hard to keep up with all of the posts, my apologies for not keeping up with yours.

I do think im right, and so do you. Its ok, its called a disagreement. We can have them.

Your once a month post, and name calling, has actually provided less value than the a'holes. Keep fighting the good fight!

Thank you for proving my point. I thought it would take a little longer, but you are what you are.

Of course, that is kind of contradictory I admit because if it is a "hoax" then what is there to go away when the weather warms up? But, I'm a part of the ignorant cult and I'll go along with my ignorant cult leader.

Just do what I do. Every day, I've continued to mix and drink me a Cloroxtini. I follow by shoving an anal probe up my rectum and use UV light rays to kill any potential COVID germs. And then, I get my daily shot of hydroxychloroquine. I mean, if it's a hoax and it's going to go away when the weather warms up, then why do I need all this drinking, anal probing and shooting up some 6-syllable drug like a heroine addict every day? I know why. Because I'm an ignorant fool who follows a con man and I have painted myself into a corner I refuse to come out of.

And, before I go with this advice. Black folks need to stop protesting about being killed. There are more important things to protest about...like having to wear a mask or freedom to get a haircut. You know, super important stuff like that. Sheesh.
