Ummm, no.
Let me get this right. So every team could have 150 players on their roster? What happens to the 21 recruits? How do you recruiting for 22...
Oh, and then you finish in June and turn right back around and play the 21 fall schedule and fall camp one month later.
I thinks them esecpn folks been smokin too much of tbalms nut meg. Or fondling myfavOrange gf meg who was a nut.

Do you want this season to be canceled? I don’t, we might win it all. Play it in spring - it’s the best chance we have of a complete season. A fall season has a high chance of being canceled midway through which is a #### scenario for Clemson. We need this banner.

This seems like a stupid idea.

This would conflict with other sports. You can't have football overlap with the end of basketball, the start of baseball, etc. Plus, there are academic calendars to consider, as well as how a spring football season would impact the draft as well as football resuming as scheduled later that year in the fall.

If football has to adjust others will also.
Football pays a lot of bills

Basketball will have to step aside, since football matters more.

I just don’t see the point in making several sports adjust

their calendars, while also likely adjusting the academic calendar, for spring football. Getting back to life as usual should mean that we make it as seamless as possible. Trying to cram football into a different semester and time of year entirely makes things overly complicated.
My concern for basketball has nothing to do with it.

If this came for pass, Football would be slotted in at the times best suited for football and the other sports would squeeze in around football.
For example, football would be on Saturday and a “weekend” baseball series would be Thu-Fri-Sun or Fri-Sun-Mon. Probably would see Friday night basketball games. Stuff like that.
Fowler’s point is correct. Many/most athletic departments could not financially handle going a full academic year without football. If the attendance at a basketball game is 5500 instead of 7500 because they have to play on a Friday instead of a Saturday, so be it.

I was thinking the same thing - Baseball night games

Basketball Sundays as well as Fridays Softball before or after football . All the venues would be packed. Don't know about parking but would think most people who have season tickets for baseball would also have them for football and already be on campus.

It's a simple matter of $$. At almost every college, football is the revenue generator. Without football, the other sports can't be funded properly. I hope football starts on time.

Many issues with winter and spring football and the first is if the season were to start in February, that is still the dead of winter. Another is because of existing contracts, would television broadcasts be solely on the ESPN networks? It would cost CBS, Fox and NBC millions to do combinations of football with their golf telecasts. Can you imagine CBC not doing The Masters on the Saturday of the first full week in April or NBC not doing The Players Championship or Fox not doing NASCAR? We all want safe football but tough decisions to be made but first, schools have to open and have students on campus because the football tail doesn't wag the dog.

If the choice is no football or spring football, I'll take the spring schedule. Sure it's crazy, but what isn't now?

So they will play two seasons in 2021? Makes zero sense. Play the games in 2020 and fans who want to show up will show up.

Why does it make zero sense? There would be 3-4 months in between seasons, that’s plenty of time for players to recover. A spring season is infinitely better than no season.

How would my new Spring 2021 weekends look like?
Apr 13, 2020, 6:45 PM

Friday night - Men's Soccer, Softball or Baseball game, maybe 2 of the 3 back to back. Wow what a fun evening.
Saturday - Softball, Baseball, Mens/Womens Basketball. 12:00 basketball, 2:00 Softball, 4:30 Baseball, 8:00 night football game on National TV.
Sunday - Breakfast at Pot Belly Pig, Softball, Baseball, & Women's Soccer.
Doesn't even cover the Track, Cross-Country, Volleyball, Rowing, etc.. events. Get me an all-sports pass.
Wouldn't it be an amazing weekend. And it could be something similar, depending upon home/away games for each sport.
It'd be Clemson All-Weekend Long. Livin' the Dream.

I’d rather play a 12 game season in spring than 10 in fall. Why are people so opposed to spring games? Makes no sense.

There haven’t been any valid points in this thread. Let’s address some of the complaints.
1. It will impact spring sports. - So what? Football is the most important sport from a money and fan interest perspective and it’s not even close. The other sports can be easily scheduled around football home games. This isn’t remotely a concern. Any conflict with March Madness will be mitigated by the fact that the college basketball season will also be pushed back. If the season starts in early January, March Madness can occur in May (aka in between the college football regular season and the bowls/playoffs).
2. It’s too cold in winter. - Good thing football is a sport that can be played in all types of weather. Will Big Ten games in January/February be cold? Absolutely. But they already play cold weather games in late November. There’s no health risk or anything here it will just change the nature of the season.
3. 2 football seasons in 9 months is too WEIRD of a concept for me. - Ok? Get over the hangup this will have to be an abnormal season if it is to exist. And we all want it to exist.

There is a health risk. Even with playing in the NC, guys have several months to rehab and let their bodies have some down time. They are still kids/ young men. Having a late season and then going right back into the next is just asking for major damage. If we are doing all this shut down crap in an effort to save people's health, this becomes an oxymoron

You can have the national championship game played in mid-May and not allow any practice until mid July. So that’s 2 months off. Obviously not ideal but given the circumstances I don’t think it’s unreasonable.
