@FarmerJayhawk said in KU's football game with Boston College could be in jeopardy after ACC's new scheduling provisions for 2020: @Texas-Hawk-10 said in KU's football game with Boston College could be in jeopardy after ACC's new scheduling provisions for 2020: Are KU officials discussing moving the game to Boston in exchange for financial compensation or just looking to replace the game? Realistically, I can’t see the Big 12 playing non-conference games this year and will probably just go with a 9 game season. With the other four P5 conferences at the stage of having conference only games now, there’s no way the Big 12 doesn’t follow suit. I could see the Big 12 doing something similar to what the ACC did with Notre Dame by adding BYU for a year to get to a 10 game schedule. Obviously this would be a little bit more complicated to pull off since BYU isn’t an affiliate B12 member the way ND is with the ACC. Guessing BC goes with UMass as their plus one. Sans fans, it’s a lot cheaper than paying KU to travel. Looks like it’s moot at this point anyway since the ACC only went with the 10+1 model to allow FSU, GT NCSU, and UL to play their in state SEC rivals and now that the SEC has decided on a conference only model, the ACC is going with a 10 game model as well.

If anyone doubts how much money is at stake here for major conference football teams, Barry Alvarez gave an interview saying that even with a 10 game conference only schedule, Wisconsin Athletics is projected to lose between $60-70 million dollars this year. If football is cancelled altogether, losses would be over $100 million for Wisconsin. Alvarez said Wisconsin has an operating budget of about $140 million this year. College football is going to happen this year at the Power 5 level for sure whether it’s in the fall this year or next spring because a lot of schools simply can’t afford to not play, even with limited capacity of fans.

$$$ will ensure at least the P5 play this year. There is far too much money at stake for the P5 schools to cancel. This is their biggest income generator for schools and they’re going to fight to play.

@BShark said in Four-star KU football commitments Devin Neal, Keon Coleman both have big goals for multiple sports at Kansas: @jayballer73 They haven’t been really scouting him for basketball because they knew his official offer would be for football. that I’m sure is very true, however I still don’t think with the roster that we have/will have that he is going to see many minutes at least next year. He is a pretty quality HIGH SCHOOL basketball player , BIG difference between High School and Major College Basketball P-5 level on a National powerhouse, just not seeing many quality minutes in the near future

Big 12 commissioner says we are 2 weeks away from no football. - -heard this coming off a National sports program. Says if we can’t come up with some kind of answer - - I can see this coming - -37 States spiking , the Nation at all time high of new cases 57,000 new cases in one day Don’t be surprised if NO college sports this year. - -SUCKS. - -professionally , Pro Football has cut pre-season to 2 games - - - NBA they are spinning - -many , many positive cases. They said we haven’t even made it to Orlando yet. - -watch we won’t have any future NBA games this season. - -Buffalo Bills announcing they will have no fans for the 2020 Season - - -Not good

Les better win some football games soon or Jeff isn’t going to last long. Jeff Long needs to go regardless of what Les Miles does on the field. There’s a reason he’s been run out of multiple jobs before. He’s not a great judge of character based on how his Arkansas hires and he tends to piss off alums which wasting money on this Beaty lawsuit I’m sure isn’t sitting well with quite a few alums right now. Yes now is obviously the time to pay him a $3 million buyout in the middle of employee furloughs. From my circle of KU friends, the attitude was either apathy or suck Beaty dry. The few “pay the man!!” People generally were much stronger basketball fans and probably couldn’t name half a dozen football players. And FWIW, donors were behind Long on this. Rich people tend to frown upon getting cheated by their employees ¯_(ツ)_/¯ This was just a bad hire from the start. In the end, KU ended up saving about $100k than if they had just paid Beaty off to start with and wouldn’t have taken the PR hit the department did from this mess. And the only reason they settled at this point was to avoid having Gassnola testify and potentially have something come out to hurt the basketball program’s case. This is just a bad all around look for the athletic department and Long handled it about as poorly as possible. Our top donors don’t exactly have a great history in regards to moving on from AD’s or coaches in a timely manner considering Ritch Price and Brandon Schneider are still coaches despite their atrocious track records. And Beaty is about a mil lighter so all told, ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah, Zenger extending Schneider and not announcing it was ridiculous. Price would’ve been gone had there not been covid, so I’m willing to let Long hire a baseball coach. KU is definitely one of the hardest jobs in the league so I don’t expect CWS births every year but at least we should be respectable.
