Add Big Ten to the group of losers. Recall, their goal was not to play in an attempt to hurt Trump.

[Craftmore]

if you call empty stadiums,fake prerecorded band music and fake prerecorded crowd noise surviving?

[Ndorfin]

College what?

[dfwgator]

It was a glorified exhibition season. Same goes for all sports, the winners should have an asterisk.

[mewzilla]

Bet it lost money...

Lots and lots of money...

It won’t endure for long.

They could have just had Alabama and Clemson play for the NC, and get rid of the other games. Everybody knew these would be the two teams.

I hope Clem’son crushes OSU. Dabo was right to rate OSU 11th since they have only played 6 games.

[pinkandgreenmom]

This Clemson alum agrees with you :)

[mewzilla]

Case in point...

Guess that’s why the UK basketball team sucks so much this year. No money to pay the players.

A forecast from back in May....

Financial toll of coronavirus could cost college football at least $4 billion

[mewzilla]

Silly me. I thought those guys were there to get an education.

When Saban jumped on the BLM train I was done. Didn’t watch a game this year.

[Eccl 10:2]

College what?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yup, all team sports are dead to me, college and pro.

Haven’t missed it one iota. Freed up a lot of time for greater value-added interests.

“Silly me. I thought those guys were there to get an education.”

Since when?

Nothing tops this freakout by the nuttiest bitch in sportsdumb, Christine Brennan. I replied to her post by asking her for her season tickets.

I kind of see it as God saying, “Folks, I’m a zealous God and I’ve noticed that you all are putting your sports addiction in the place where I ought to be. So, I’m going to just have to take it away from you.”

Ohio State — There arguably isn’t a bigger winner in all of sports this season than Ohio State.

The NCAA football season was originally scheduled for October 24. It was then rescheduled to December 12. And the it was cancelled. Everything else is just a preseason or postseason exhibition game. How can you be a winner if you don't even get the chance to crush Michigan?

Unfortunately, nothing is mentioned about the promotion of BLM by players, coaches and universities, and the effect it had alienating fans from college sports. It was large...
