On the bright side, Cal gets to potentially play after December 31st for the first time in a looong time.

I think we al suspected this was going to happen. Hopefully we'll actually have a Spring season.

Oh well. But it was the right decision to make considering the Covid-19 trajectory. I just hope by Jan. 1 that conditions will have changed. But it's also possible that this highly contagious phase could last a couple of years without a vaccine.

Fall or spring, fan attendance or not, I just hope we will have a football season.

Any thoughts about how eligibility and scholarships might be affected? I guess if the entire season is cancelled those players would get an extra year of eligibility? Would the number of allowed scholarships be increased accordingly?

No way the SEC cancels. Their good old boy doners would lose their minds. Football is more important than Grandma here...and Grandma would agree. If the NCAA forces it, they probably leave the NCAA.

The problem with taking the "conservative" approach of cancelling is that, realistically, until a vaccine is developed and distributed, things don't stand to get much better. If the same criteria is used, spring is a Longshot.

Unless this completely backfires in The South, the ACC and SEC are going to see a windfall of recruits (above and beyond their current haul).

For selfish reasons, I hope we have the 6-year seniors like Luc Bequette and Zeandre Johnson on the team whenever we play our next games.

I was going to write a longer winded post about the continued hysteria and misinformation that still somehow surrounds covid at this point..but f it. Let's just keep shutting down everything when we already know the highest risk people (by miles) are 80+. Let's keep unemployment going up and have business everywhere shut their doors. Let's see where that leads us.

Also: Hopefully, this postponement becomes the context for Larry Scott to move on...

I think it’s gonna take years for college athletics to recover from this year

Probably means Cal will have to permanently drop a lot of non revenue sports. Men’s gymnastics, T&F, rowing, etc may never be back.
