SEC - 10 Game Conference Only Football Schedule - Farm93 - 07-30-2020

Press release calls for a 10 game conference only season and suggests guidelines for fans will be released later.  They will release a schedule with a few open weekends soon and schedule the championship game on Dec 19.

I'd been thinking it's about 50-50 that FBS CFB will start a season this fall, but the way I see it the odds are growing longer.

Every major conference except *possibly* the Big12 is kicking the can down the road to delay making a decision. To me, this means that even in the SEC, the current level of covid-19 is simply too great to pretend that playing football can be done safely.

Will there be a significant case drop three-four weeks from now? That's what they're pinning their hopes on. But it seems just as likely that a return to campus living and learning that most (I think) state schools are planning on will lead to infection surges.

Looks like the Mississippi governor has taken some of the advice posted on this board to heart.
