It has become clear in recent days that heaven and earth will be moved to have a college (and professional) football season. I don’t know the specifics about the NFL, but the future of the sport in college could depend on it. Maybe that’s dramatic, maybe not, but don’t take it from me.
“We must play football, or college athletics will shrink before our eyes,” a Power Five AD told Brett McMurphy of Stadium. “The reality is, no matter what [kind of schedule] we end up with, there will not be a perfect solution.”
The amount of money at stake is staggering.
