Televised Team Scrimmages?
This is just a pipe dream, but....
Harbaugh has been very vocal that Michigan has been folowing protocol and has kept the Michigan football players safe since June 13th. If (A big IF) they could remain safe going forward, an alternative to a fall season could be for captains to have a team draft, and split into two teams. These teams could practice together, and have several televised scrimmages during the fall season. This gives players a chance to have games, and gets more people involved. This also means Dylan McCaffery and Joe Milton both get a chance to show what they can do. Those who would redshirt could play without burning their eligibility because they are not official games.
If several other schools did this, we could have 2 or 3 games each Saturday on a rotating schedule.
Just a pipe dream, as players will be interacting with the student body, but it could be better than nothing.

jesus fucking christ. There is no college football this year. Accept it and move on.

Just a pipe dream
Yup.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it's over man. It's done. Time to move forward.

Should just let us play the three rivalry games.
Minnesota
MSU
OSU.

For once, I'd rather not play Minnesota
How about let's give Illinois a trophy and pretend we care about them, like OSU does with that stupid turtle

Illinois is still pissed off about the 89 Final Four. They consider themselves our arch rival.

what a great game!
August 11th, 2020 at 5:24 PM ^
No contact is allowed. The only contact would be unsanctioned games. That would be fun!!

I'd be shocked if this happened, but I absolutely love the idea.

Big Ten says that all organized volunteer workouts and practices can continue. So, i guess, they could possibly set up a scrimmage, but I doubt it.

LOLOL, yeah, cause that'll being the viewers in, maybe they can line it up at the 8PM slot when the SEC marquee game of the week is on (assumming the SEC plays).

I'd rather watch a Michigan scrimmage than the Egg Bowl.
August 11th, 2020 at 10:03 PM ^
Suit yourself, I like football, watch a bunch of guys run drills is great and all but I'm for the game, the competition.

Watch a movie.
Call a nice girl!
