Gee. I "heard" they might like to start the CFB season a couple weeks early.

Here you go Mr. Snitty:

Apparently you have not heard that the head of the CDC has mentioned a potential second wave of the virus in the fall?

Okay. I'm retired and read a lot of this and use intellectual rigor.

first, there was some discussion about moving the season UP to 'beat' a potential second wave.

The season starts late this year, because Labor Day is late this year. Could move up say 2 weeks and try to finish the regular season by early November, not late November.

Second, I may read this text different than you. Yes, there is a chance but it isn't great (according to the aggregated responses of the respondents).

The text suggests that the season being canceled is a small probability. No one is say they said 50 - 50 chance. (50 - 50 chance is the most pessimistic outlook).

And third, the NFL is planning on a full season.

Getting back to one of your predicates is that a second wave will come and when?

Remember, the NCAA season could end by election day if the NCAA and conferences wish.

The MAC could move the 'back end' of the schedule to the 3rd and 4th weekends in August (not really different than some FCS schools starting early). If there is a 12th game left in November it could be canceled. The season could run for mid-late August thru the end of October.

P.S. to the NCAA, I wish they'd give conferences the option of starting a week early and moving games from the LAST weekend of the season to late August.

P.S. IF there is a truly a second wave, much of U.S., us, etc. are screwed.

This pandemic is both a public health and economic disaster. If we have 'round two' we will have bigger things to worry about than the FB season and who will be our starting QB.

We are struggling through this now because the country was in good shape before the pandemic hit. A 2nd round would be like being in the ring with Mike Tyson, getting knocked down and getting up at the 8 count and then getting knocked out two rounds later.
