2020 Football Season

What are everyone's thoughts on the guarantee for the games? I think they do plan on a regular season, but the guarantee makes you wonder.

What guarantee are you talking about?

If you buy season tickets and the games are not played, the university will refund your money or issue you a credit that can be used for the next season.  This applies to both football and basketball.

Makes sense, thanks

If you go backward 3 months and look at where we were, and have been, it is reasonable to expect the same amount of change in the next 3 months, so baring HUGE CONTINUING OVERREACH on the part of government, we should be full steam ahead for opening day!!  Go Guins!

I understand that most stadiums have gone to all reserved seating, so they can manage seating distances. Tailgating will be interesting. The Stambaugh tikcet map would indicate YSU is doing the same.

Noble idea but people will move and sit where they want to, just the way it is.

The University of Houston announced that they had 6 athletes test positive for coronavirus yesterday. The school had allowed some football and basketball players back on 6/1 for voluntary workouts, which they have now suspended.

Its probably not going to take a whole lot for schools to start cancelling fall camps and seasons next, and once one school does that a lot of AD's will feel pressure to do "something" and the whole fall sports slate can fall apart quickly.

I certainly hope this doesn't happen but will not be the least bit shocked if it does.

Anyone know if we have allowed any of our kids back to use the campus facilities?

Kids are allowed back on campus for workouts. They've had about 40-50 back doing voluntary workouts with strength coach but no actual football coaches are allowed to contact yet.

chief, what day did the voluntary workouts start?

Tuesday the 2nd. No on field coaching or anything with the playbook. Just weight and field workouts with the strength coach.

Well,

The COVID19 thing will not impact the season.  Some perspective on the virus below.

 Hopefully these fools at some of the more liberal schools don't cancel because they are scared.

At least most programs in the country seem to be on the same boat. I have no idea what to expect from this year, losing the spring and what we have lost so far this summer seems rough for development

For college age kids this is equivalent to the flu. We certainly wouldn't be talking about stopping YSU football for some flu cases in Houston!  It is clear the closing and sheltering demands were wrong as was closing schools.  Let's pray we learn something from our mistakes!

Problem is that the coaches, trainers, refs etc etc etc are not all college age kids. Glad I do not work in the athletic department, no doubt pressure from all sides. No matter what you decide someone will second guess you.
