Stop it.

If they could play games and get TV revenue without fans they would. They do not give a f?ck about pageantry...that is just marketing.

Stop being such a mark.

Btw...the xfl was good.

ESPN does...

Nothing about marketing.
Watch a game at a school like Pitt or Temple and then a game at WVU or Penn State

What school would you rather watch on TV

The Pageantry and the excitement of college football is what draws an auidence more than the level of skill.

Without that you are left with average football.

ESPN is pushing the narrative that we can't have a season without fans.

They cant have a season because students (maybe) cant be on campus.

If the real students cant go to class, the fake students cant play football. It's really simple.

Season for most schools usually start before classes.
So pretty much every year you have football before school.

Going to find out with the antibody test where everything is at.

700,000 cases
If you think that maybe that is 5-10% of the actual cases

You are talking about 7-14 million people catching it.

Even then that is at most under 5% of the total Population.

Problem with that narrative is schools still play games when campuses are closed.

Don't know why you keep bringing this up.
Your stadium isn't even on campus and your students don't show up anyways.

Try again...

College Football without fans is pretty much worse than the XFL.

The fans, excitement and Pageantry in college football is what makes us watch. We have a connection to these schools.

If you remove this people will see it for what it really is
Average football.


There is no problem with that narrative sir. You’ve completely contradicted your previous posts. You said money will motivate schools to play a season. Everyone on this site knows what you posted. I spoke with admin at the highest level and posted the opposite of you. They told me a month ago....closed campus, no football. You’re confused. Ya see that’s not my narrative. That is what the schools are saying. Whether you agree or disagree, and contrary to your past posts and personal opinions, no open campus no football this Fall.

Darth the conversation I had clearly established that the ADs and Presidents are not going to permit athletics as long as campuses are closed.

Man you are slow sir. Or are you? The campuses aren’t closed and on lockdown in your example. It just occurred to me that either you are stupid, which I actually don’t believe, or you have an insatiable need to argue with people about just about anything. I kinda think that’s what your issue is.

What I said is sometime during the 2020-2021 there will be football.

Might not start in September but there will be football in that school year


Again you have no idea. You’re conviction is ill founded. There may or may not be football. But here’s what the schools are saying. No open campuses no student activities. Any other discussion between us is irrelevant.

Interested If you actually have these conversations with administrators in your head.
You are right. Neither of us have any idea what they are thinking.
It is all conjecture and message board talk.


At the end of the day you have one issue.
That is football carries the athletic departments for P5 schools.
End of the day these schools will attempt to play some form of the season even if it is postponed or just a few games.

Unless of course you believe that CV will still be around this time next year.
Possibly but by that time you have to think it would have spread to the majority of the population.

Yet you are claiming you speak with the AD and president.

Not a troll just the truth.


Spoke with multiple Trustees after their March Trustees’ meeting. Whether you believe me or not is entirely up to you but this place knows I put information of the board that gets validated later. I posted some silent WVU commitments before signing day. How would I be able to state specifics? I posted a month ago that the schools weren’t playing any sports until campuses are open. Then Spring sports get canceled right after my posts and now ADs confirm everything I posted. I’d say look for my posts in June/July. That’s when I’ll hear what Pitt looks like for the Fall. No campus, no student activities or sports.

So the Trustees at Pitt recruit for you.
I see why your recruiting is trash.

You have the need to be someone of importance on this board.
In reality you really aren't and you put yourself in the position to be laughed at

Just be yourself. Greggy the guy who works at 7/11

Even if it is true.
Pitt has zero say what goes on.
If Pitt doesn't want to play sports doesn't mean the important schools won't.

Again sir your trolling is boring and adds nothing to content. You seem to get flustered when your troll persona gets confronted. I say let’s keep things moving forward on content.

Just the truth.
You are the one that actually believes what happens at Pitt has any impact on college athletics.
Maybe Penn State but definitely not Pitt

It was all ACC discussions. No P5s do anything on their own. They’re all in contracts with multiple entities. You may very well be a bit slow but I’m patient.

This is where the separation is at..
There shouldn't be any speculation about the season.
If Pitt doesn't want to play football that doesn't mean that everyone is with it.

The main ACC schools are wanting things opened up.
Most of these are public institutions.

UConns president just said he expects fall sports to be cancelled.

UCONN is the definition of irrelevant.

Who cares what they do

Do they even play football anymore. I thought they cancelled their football program.

Last I checked college students made up college football teams. So no students no football.

In the next few months we are going to see a difference in CV cases based on factors beyond our control like the weather.

Harder to spread in high temps and humidity.

Every state is different in regards to CV. With this you are going to see different mentalities with schools in different places.
Plus like I said some schools are public while others are private.

Public institutions it depends more on the state government and what the state government is trying to do.


Like what people said there should be ZERO speculation about the season not happening.

Let it play out in the next 2-3 months.

If a school wants to cancel their fall classes already that is their choice but ultimately not every school is with that line of thinking.

Yes it stops in High Humidity and Heat. But unknown factor is how many people will there be that is still carrying said disease and passes it on.

Nobody is saying that it's gospel truth the schools will be closed. What people have said is ...........IF the students are not allowed to return then there will be no sports.

Presidents will not make a decision until July at some point. But you are forgetting that covid-19 will return in the fall as well. It's here to stay.

I’ll stay patient with you sir. Not one time have I posted anything close to representing Pitt wants to act alone. Not once did post Pitt doesn’t want to play football. For the 3rd or 4th time Presidents from across the country have decided that as long as campuses are closed there will be no student activities. You completely misrepresented my post. You are literally making stuff up so that you can argue. If you’re intelligent then you have a problem that you should adress with professionals. You have no idea what the ACC schools want. Your last two sentences are 6th grad logic. Obvious but irrelevant to the decision making. When it comes down to academic decisions follow the science. What the ADs want is borderline irrelevant in a Trustee/Admin meeting. I’ve been in them. I can tell you haven’t.

You aren't getting it...
Schools are saying they will open campuses in the fall

Don't know what Pitt will do but I do know they have zero impact on anyone except themselves.

Schools have two choices.
Join the schools who are opening up or be left behind.

Because if you don't play football good chance you screw yourself.


Really ill informed post sir. You apparently have no clue how collegiate athletics operate. Again you make up fake arguments just so you can argue. Very odd but hey have at it sir. You really need to be on an NFL blog site arguing why the Jets and Giants need to be left behind.

LOL. Of course colleges want their campuses to be open In the Fall. I’m sorry but what P5 schools have committed to be open for Fall semester? I think you mean they’ve said they want to be open for Fall but will need to see if environment permits opening campuses up to activity.

Again, apparently you have no idea that Pitt, and all other ACC universities, are in contracts that will influence and lead all member decisions athletically. I guess other milestones like campus openings and other student activities will be determined by individual state situations and their governors. I do know that Governor Wolfe is part of the NE liberal block so I anticipate PA will drag their feet and liberal universities will follow the liberal narrative obediently.

Once again Pitt doesn't determine anything.
You are delusional enough to think that.

Missouri is one who said today they are opening their campus for the fall.

TY if accurate. I didn’t see that. You said school(s). Who are the other P5s that are guaranteeing to be open in the Fall. I assume you’re representing Mizzo’s proclamation that they will be open no matter what right? Saying you PLAN on being open is different than saying you WILL be open. So your point about Pitt will be proven wrong if the schools that open don’t play games. Then, my point will be proven right when if they play no games until the Big12 signs off. Which we know if Oklahoma and Texas don’t play no one in Big12 will play. No one school is playing without conference approval. No fans also sounds like a non starter from what I was told.

Now regarding your first sentence. You are swinging in the dark wailing away and arguing with yourself. I haven’t seen one thread that said Pitt, WVU, Texas, Notre Dame or any school can determine any outcome regarding this football season. The decision to play this yr is in the hands of the Federal Guidelines(to some degree), state officials and University Presidents. Period. ADs, coaches and fake handle opinions will be on the sidelines.

That you, somehow, think this is about Pitt(just another irrelevant player in this ordeal) or felt like some clown posted that makes me think you may very well have issues. Get some help son. It’s not to late for you.
