I don't anticipate that we will have football this season. Too many risks and variables over the next 18 weeks, and with the curve still advancing it's unlikely there will be a vaccine released in time which might permit mass gatherings.
I'm hoping if the season is cancelled, which it will be, the NCAA gives all players an extra year of eligibility. You cannot put players on a field tackling and spitting on each other if fans aren't allowed to sit passively near one another out of safety concerns. No, my friends, there will be no football this fall. The long sports famine will continue. And such a shame for us given the likelihood of a particularly successful year with all our returning and new players and coaches.
We need to err on the side of letting the shutdown go on longer than it should rather than making the mistake of opening up too soon. SO fucking glad I live in California instead of some dumb red state with Republicans in charge!
With the prospect of a promising Cal football team entering the 2020 season, losing college football games to a pandemic nightmare, for Old Blues anyway, would be the most "Because Cal" thing ever...
If this is the case, let’s hope there is some sort of assistance for athletic departments. Losing both revenue sports in the same year would be devastating.

My base expectation is no spectator sports for the rest of the calendar year.

Welp. So much for college gameday 2020.
It definitely makes sense, but I selfishly wonder what this means for Cal season ticket holders
