Pac-12 also cancels fall sports.
Title says it all.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:18 PM ^
I look forward to a rational and respectful discussion.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:23 PM ^
.... Fire Larry Scott?
August 11th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
The respectful part usually takes a back seat when people get to behave anonymously.
August 11th, 2020 at 6:29 PM ^
I look forward to Scarlett Johansson knocking on my door and saying she wants to climb me like a tree.
I mean, as long as we're talking about things that will just never happen ...
August 11th, 2020 at 6:34 PM ^
It's more likely MeanJoe07 will knock on your door looking to climb you like a tree.
August 11th, 2020 at 8:15 PM ^
What, again?
August 11th, 2020 at 7:20 PM ^
You have very good taste in tree climbers.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:23 PM ^
This year is stupid
August 11th, 2020 at 5:26 PM ^
Yay! the woke brother conferences.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:27 PM ^
Learning from our woke facebook scientists about the harms of wearing masks
August 11th, 2020 at 5:38 PM ^
What about the ones who say it doesn't help?
August 11th, 2020 at 5:43 PM ^
Good 'ol Dailywire
August 11th, 2020 at 5:53 PM ^
In the legal profession, I can usually find expert witnesses willing to disagree with the opinions of their colleagues. Shocking, I know.
August 11th, 2020 at 6:51 PM ^
You mean the guys whose policy led to one of the only countries with a higher death rate than the USA?
yea, listen to him
August 11th, 2020 at 7:26 PM ^
That is not what the article says you fucking idiot. I mean Jesus Christ, read the fucking thing.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:27 PM ^
A few things of note in this announcement though:
- Cancellation applies to basketball in the fall
- Plan to give an extra year of eligibilty to athletes
- Specifically calls out the Myocarditis health concerns
August 11th, 2020 at 5:37 PM ^
The Pac 12 cannot enforce that. The NCAA determines eligibility guidelines and I would be shocked if they said anything other than "tough luck"
There would be mass chaos and transfers if eligibility is maintained, and even more stockpiling of talent by the same three teams if they increase scholarship amount temporarily
August 11th, 2020 at 5:41 PM ^
Since when has the ncaa determined anything?
I bet you think the ncaa cancelled football for the b1g and pac today?
If the pac says theyre eligible and usc is number one for the 21 cfp, ill bet you anything usc is playing in the cfp.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:43 PM ^
I'm not arguing... just sharing content.
My immediate thought was anyone who wants a redshirt gets one, but policy will definitely evolve and define this over time.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:38 PM ^
Legitimately curious:
If we are concerned about the kids then why let them go back to school at all? Especially the high potential of outbreak which results from kids traveling on flying petri dishes from all over the country and world with no hope of restricting all of their interactions, unless we take a page out of China's play book?
But what about the possibility of myocarditis? This could also result from the seasonal flu, and certainly did result from H1N1, but I don't remember anyone running for their doomsday bunkers, as it is treatable if not allowed to fester:

What if we wait for a vaccine? There could be long term effects from vaccines as well, we are still learning about such things from H1N1:

It does not seem as though we will have a football season, but I was impressed by what Harbaugh was doing with the program, and did believe he could lead the team through this. Issue of financial liability does seem to be the biggest factor here, nevertheless I am still confused.
August 11th, 2020 at 9:58 PM ^
Do you really not see how students attending classes (many of which may be virtual) is wholly different than students playing sports?
August 11th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
So what do you guys think the actual chances are that the ACC and SEC actually play this fall?
August 11th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
So we've heard from landmark world class universities in Michigan, NW, UCLA, USC, Cal, and Stanford. Now we just need to see what decision the beautiful minds at....Arkansas and Clemson make
August 11th, 2020 at 5:51 PM ^
Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, UNC, Virginia, and Notre Dame from the ACC are all on same tier as the schools you listed, so cherry picking makes a moot point.
August 11th, 2020 at 10:03 PM ^
The ACC hasn’t decided yet so the point is hardly moot.
August 11th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Lets be honest, the PAC 12 is pretty much approaching irrelevance in football anyways, B1G is not too far behind save O$U and Michigan.
August 11th, 2020 at 10:34 PM ^
It’s used to think it was cyclical, but with the demographic shifts, I don’t think the south’s dominance is going anywhere. I really am shocked that Texas and USC aren’t better just by virtue of being in the talent rich states they’re in. Even if Alabama can go in there and pluck a few elite recruits, they should still be better. Goes to show you what some bad coaches can do, even at blue bloods, and that Michigan is not unique. Except for OSU, Harbaugh has us where we have been historically and pretty competitive. We’re not a football factory/minor league team, and I’m usually fine with that except for one week in the end of November/beginning of December.

FLfan-Agree about the PAC 12, but the mid-lower rungs of the BIG are improved over the past 5 years.
