The First Domino Has Fallen

[crixus]

At this point I doubt they'll be any college football this fall. I think the conferences that say they'll play will be changing their minds before any team actually takes the field this season.

Pac 12 has canceled the fall sports program according to ESPN.

In the NAIA, the largest conference (Mid South, 22 teams; 3 divisions) announced no fall sports. For the first time since Covid started, I'm throwing in the towel on NAIA football this fall. We're down to about 53 of 95 schools.

According to KNBC-TV in LA, the Pac 12 and Big Ten will be releasing their decisions soon, possibly today. And odds are they'll be postponing their fooball and other fall sports seasons too.

I doubt the St. Louis Cardinals will be able to play a 60 game baseball season. As of today, they've only played 5 games which puts them 10 or more games behind most of the other teams. I think the MLB should dismiss them like MLS did to Dallas FC.

This to me is bigger than the MAC decision as this includes the pre-season #26 team and Air Force was receiving votes too. Boise State definitely not cracking the BCS playoff now. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a BYU announcement soon at least about football.

I agree. I think all Independents will have to postpone or cancel their seasons except Notre Dame. And that's only because ND has a full ACC schedule this year.

The Mid-American Conference has postponed its entire fall sports season, becoming the first FBS conference to make the drastic decision because of ongoing concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. I'll miss those Tuesday and Wednesday night football games this fall.

Music Break - this Genesis song from the 80's applies more now than it did when it came out. We really are living in a Land of Confusion.

Both are good songs. I think you may have channeled me with music breaks.

Speaking of fallen dominoes, here's some that may be up again in '21. Banks, Collins & Rutherford are all basketball fans so I put it here. I know, it's a stretch.
