Williams/Blum Pod: On Tyler Harris' commit, SEC AD comments on 2020 FB season

Listening to your podcast. Couple questions.

Any chance opening the floodgates on transfers is less work than reviewing the volume of eligibility requests that might come through if they don't?

If they have to do a regional realignment for football this year, does that lead to any actual lasting realignment?

To piggy back on that, if this hits higher education in general hard enough, does that in combination of regionalism needed for this year’s football impact realignment? There will be even more have and have not imo.

NFL model here we come?

I could see it sticking with some schools. They mentioned ASU/Zona. What if the rest of the Pac 12 says no playing, ASU and Zona say, we're out? They may not be welcomed back honestly.

Great thought!
If that coincides with the ACC needing to backfill (or any conference needing to replace schools folding on P5), things could unravel.

A lot depends on how willing we are to looking the other way this fall imo
 
One year conferences? That would be the end of the current structure as we knew it.:eek::eek:

Not to undermine the thread here. I won't be able to listen to the podcast. Tried to find the SoCar coach comments online but search came up empty. Anyone able to find a link to his comments in text? TIA
 
Would thing regional conference alignment this fall might make a lot of sense. If teams could bus to games vs. fly might limit player exposure and simplify logistics.

There has been some discussion of college football being a spring 2021 sport. That would seem easier to do in southern area's of the country, but it might be a tougher sell to get fans to attend games in northern climates in Jan/Feb.

The other interesting aspect of spring football would be media partners. They would already have college/NBA basketball inventory to televise- working in college football might be interesting and a sports fan's delight.

ESPN+ would be BUSY if that were the case.
