The painful unwinding of the 2020 college football season is upon us.
So many significant events for the sport have been squeezed into the last 72 hours that it feels like the rat-a-tat lyrics to the old REM song, Its the end of the world. Except no one feels fine.
The most visceral news came with UConn football canceling the 2020 season on Wednesday morning, the first Division I program to do so. Then there are the star defections Virginia Techs Caleb Farley, Minnesotas Rashod Bateman and the expectation that Penn States Micah Parsons will join them soon.

I am just sick of this elitist attitude....
dump em....
Where will the next round of talent from for Pro, college and high school?
Cornell is making plans to test all students once to twice a week. They’ve even taken over part of the vet college to use as a lab.
Ithaca, the City of Evil, or Berkeley of the East.
It’s in a world of fiscal hurt.
And is demanding federal taxpayers make it all better
UConn canceling is an act of mercy to its beleaguered fans. Their record the past 3 seasons was 6-30.
Uconn is likely done and will drop football in the next year or two.
I agree with you. One major team or school has a breakout they will cancel the season. How can you have a season where teams will basically be canceling at minimum 2 games with a positive test?
Nadal and the top female tennis player have pulled out of the US Open because of the virus.
ALL sports might as well quit for a year or so..................
You got that right but for me it was in reverse order.
I’m starting to suspect any season we get cannot be played until the Spring.
COULDN’T CARE LESS.
Country about to enter ABYSS if Biden wins. WHO cares what some spoiled prima donnas do on a field.
ESPN is cratering. People aren’t watching MLB or NBA.
The NBA is beholden to China. A worthless slug like Lebron James stands silent as China embraces SLAVE labor, operates Concentration Camps, and INFECTS the world with a deadly virus.
it will by me and all my friends.
"Well, Miss Mumsford, the good news is that you do not have COVID-19. The bad news is that you're in heat you have worms."

They’ll have to learn to kneel online.
The real college courses:
1. Beer Bong 101. ... Understanding the funnel.
2. How to be stoned and graduate, The freshman handbook.
3. Spring Break and the Art of getting laid.
4. Safe spaces. What they mean and how to exploit your Snowflake insecurities.
5. White racists and the BLM. How to succumb to your whiteness.
Rutgers has 28 positive COVID tests. At last Rutgers leads the Big Ten in something!
I think you may be right. I am in the horse world. Almost every big event is cancelled or postponed. They actually have cancelled huge shows in progress because someone tested positive. Add in public officials scheduling events in government owned facilities and then say “no” at the last moment and you have a huge mess. This is another industry that may never recover.
