Said the station is reviewing seasons from the last 15 years to figure out what season to run when the normal season don’t happen. Basically gonna run it like it was happening live every Saturday Including gameday from that year.

I've vote 2001 just so we can all sit back and relive Colorado shoving Nebraska off the ledge.
I would guess that this season doesnt happen, but regardless i think its a good move to be prepared to have something to air, and it takes time to compile everything back together so they have to prepare this just because they don't know
ESPN doesn't have any more of a magic crystal ball than anyone else. It's a contingency plan.
Or even just do a 'best of week 1, best of week 2' each weekend. Some of those early weeks especially, there's not many good games
yeah they actually do. If you don’t think they are in touch with every confidence commissioner you are crazy. They have billions in the line. So yeah they have a way more crystal ball than everyone else
well the second wave is hitting and the AD’s are trying to make decisions right noe
Yep. They should be all over planning something like this given the circumstances. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything in regards to the chances of the season taking place.
Unfortunately there are other trends that make that look less likely than a month ago. But it’s not over yet.
2007 is the clear and only answer here for a number of reasons:
First of all it had SEVEN weeks where the #2 lost, it was chaos week after week.
#1 lost FIVE times and in the same week as #2 THREE times
Big 10 Network Debuted Week 1, starting off with a sleeper of a game FCS Appalachian State at Michigan
Kansas outta nowhere as the only power team in the country with 1 loss
Tim Tebow stunted on all of us all season
Remember Hawaii and Colt Brennan shredding NCAA records?
Louisiana Monroe beat Nick Saban
Chip Kelly debuted at Oregon
Jim Harbaugh Debuted at Stanford
Chizek Coins
Juice Williams and Ron Zook of Illinois beat Ohio State
Birth of the SEC chant after LSU beat Ohio State in the championship
Also the amount of games in HD is an extra level because the year prior was ESPN3 being debuted and 2007 was when ESPNU was first broadcasted in HD.
It's the best choice and it's not even close

If ESPN did inside information that there wasn't going to be football they probably wouldn't be too happy that your friend is spilling the beans. They're going to be planning for many different scenarios I would imagine.
Who do you think has the power when it comes to whether or not football will be played? If there isn't a football season it won't have anything to do with a decision by a conference commissioner. There isn't a chance in hell they will cancel a season if state and local governments are allowing sports to be played.
Yeah. Sounds like a project they gave some VP’s son to work on during his remotely located internship.
