Many, many questions about what is really going on behind the scenes.
Some of mine:
1.) Is it easier politically to announce now (or in late Aug.) no CFB or is it easier to go ahead and start the CFB season knowing it would likely be shut after a couple of weeks when multiple teams have multiple cases?
2.) What number of players have informed their schools they are deciding to opt out of 2020? Have any coaches informed their employers that they will be sitting out this fall?
3.) What are the details of the TV money that conferences are hoping to salvage for the 2020 season? Does a shortened season simply result in pro-rated payments to conferences, or are the deals possibly more complicated than that?
4.) Public universities can be pretty independent, though legislators generally hold the power of the purse. Will any elected officials unequivocally state that CFB is a bad idea and shouldn't happen, and what effect would that have on conferences making decisions about starting a season?
