IMO, this has to do with unis refunding broadcast rights...

If CFB is cancelled. The CalStates have nearly half a million students on 23 campuses. Only six schools have football teams. Of those six, only three teams, Fresno, San Diego, and San Jose, are FBS. Cal Poly SLO and Sacramento are FCS. Humboldt is D-2. None are P5, none are receiving huge money from networks. Frankly, they don't need CFB because enrollments have increased without big time sports programs.

But schools like Washington, UOwe, Ucla, and Cal are P5. They received hella money for broadcast rights. If they're forced to cancel football, the networks are going to look for a significant refund of broadcast right money. Already, major advertisers have begun to cancel their advertising agreements. No way P5 networks allow the unis to keep that money if the networks have seen a collapse is ad revenue. The P5s aren't saying anything until they've negotiated some agreement with networks. But if the CalStates, which is the largest American public uni system, is saying screw it, not worth the risk, it would be hard to believe all other uni systems would be stupid enough to ignore that same risk.

  • With Blue states closing down universities its highly doubtful there will be football in the Fall - PBHangingChad - 7:51am 5/16/20 (11) [View All]
    • This is NOT up to the individual unis. This is an insurance matter.. - ripperduck - 5:01pm 5/16/20
    • You better check your sources - D2 - 1:16pm 5/16/20
      • I could be wrong but doubt the other Cali schools will open with Gov shutting down. We will see [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:48pm 5/16/20

        • I understand your doubt but your post was just wrong on the current facts other than Cal St system - D2 - 2:10pm 5/16/20
          • Actually, there's a trend, that being, unis want the Feds... - ripperduck - 5:13pm 5/16/20
    • No state is “closing down universities.” Your posts are always about 60% wrong. [NT] - Chris94 - 9:45am 5/16/20
      • Cali? Yep they are closing for the Fall. Care to argue the fact? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 11:56am 5/16/20
        • California State U is going online. Universities are not closing. [NT] - Chris94 - 9:36am 5/18/20
        • UC system considering a 'hybrid' mix of online and in-person classes. Cal St schools online only. [NT] - ND521 - 1:50pm 5/16/20
    • The NFL too. [LINK] - Shillelagh - 8:20am 5/16/20
