Ramification of College football cancellation on NFL

Post by D-train » Wed Aug 12, 2020 12:37 am

Guessing the NFL will flex several games a week to Saturdays. Putting those games on National TV will likely make up for most if not all the lost revenue from lack fans. Great news for the players as the salary cap might not have to be reduced in coming years in as was expected.

Great news for NFL fans as well that get two days of NFL every weekend instead of one.

Maybe they will redo it and the Hawks can draft Santana Moss instead of Koren Robinson.

Don't be. MLB has dealt with and overcome significant COVID issues with the Marlins and Cardinals and has pressed on.......

That's what businesses do. NCAA is essentially a public pseudo government entity and they couldn't figure it out. Not surprising.

So if they do play during Spring i assume the NFL would be moving the draft to late June or July. But if there is no season what criteria will they have to grade the players on other than what they did in 2019 or before? Will there be an expanded combine?

MLB somehow held their draft and the world didn't come to an end. NFL will do the same. Everyone is in the same boat. They all just have to rely on all available info at the time.

The issue isn't the draft. It's a lot of tape missing from players. It's the evaluation of NCAA talent. It's almost like a certain team said " You want our 1st round picks? No problem!!!"
