ESPN Roundtable College Football 2020

[USCGMCK]

Watched part of a round table with Reese Davis moderating, sorry I missed most of it but David Pollock had an interesting idea. The conversation had moved to best time to play Fall 2020 or Spring 2121 or both to get in the seasons. Both seasons brought up the wear and tear on the players and the concussion protocol playing full seasons back to back. 

  So David steps in and states his idea would be to play Group of 5 in the Spring and Power 5 in the Fall. This way big money goes to the schools, ESPN/FOX/CBS/NBC/ABC and sponsors would get more bang for the buck, fans would get almost year round college football. Group of 5 players would not be in the shadow Power 5 guys during the  season. On the surface to me it seems a consideration but I know others will not think so.....any thoughts?

Interesting idea. But not sure what it would solve.

It would seem to make sense. Sorta like the concept of slowing the spread, by exposing athletes aver a greater period of time. However, if anything what is happening with MLB shows us there must be a plan in place when one team has to quarantine with an outbreak of positive cases. Now that most conferences are doing conference only games, all it takes is one team. And season goes kaput.
