USC ALMOST A Game Thread - Covid Cancelled
- Thread starter 13Buff
- Start date
Today has always been the make or break day in the testing and decision making for the weekend. I'm sure the Pac 12 is waiting to see if Utah (or another program), in fact, will be good to go for the weekend before determining whether CU can proceed with OOC game.
My 2 cents this late in the game- 60% chance we don't play, 30% chance we play CSU, and a 10% chance we play Wyoming.
Logistically those options make the most sense. I doubt flying a team in here is a viable option at this point.

If I’m CSU or Wyoming, I’m not thrilled about the idea of coming into Boulder. It really doesn’t do them any good. At this point, though, it seems like a moot point. No way to install any kind of game plan with two days notice. I agree that if there was going to be a game, we would have had that fleshed out by now.
I'm worried about the rest of the season. This ain't getting any better.
Have we had anyone on our team or staff test positive? If so, I either missed it or forgot about it.
I view it completely different. CSU/WYO get to come in and play a P5 on a national broadcast on short notice. They have the chance to upset us in a weird year, and if they lose, hey, they were supposed to anyway. Little risk with high reward.
...and money.

I'd imagine Sunday is still not he table as well.
The money says otherwise
SIAP, but what kind of money would CSU or Wyoming expect to get from playing in Boulder?
I'd split the gate with them 50/50
If they haven’t canceled the season by now, they’re not going to. As has been said all along, there is far too much money at stake with virtually no evidence that playing games spreads the virus. Once again, it’s actually safer for these players to be playing every week than not.
so it's csewe or nobody if I had to guess
The season will not be cancelled, but it will be pretty bumpy the rest of the way.
Also, guessing schools are much more concerned about coaches getting sick than the players.
Safer because they might otherwise be at college parties/gatherings?
Really strange they would decline and take a bye week on a short year IMO
Absolutely. Right now the entire CU team is staying at a hotel in a "bubble" of sorts and being tested/contact traced everyday. That would absolutely not be happening if the season was cancelled.
Yes. There is data that suggests outbreaks are happening with more frequency for teams coming off bye weeks.
Cut of the TV revenue. Sittin' at home you get nothing. Perhaps that's part of any negotiation that might be going on right now.
I wonder if that means CU and CSU have a deal in place and just waiting for the USC/Utah game to be officially on?
I don't know, but its a hell of a lot more than they would get if they didn't play.
Edit: Not really for CSU/Wyoming but a good article stating that the Pac 12 will get most of the normal share from TV revenue this year. I am guessing it will be smaller due to all the cancellations, but good to see from a financial perspective.
Shortened Pac-12 Season Enough to Meet TV Contracts, Boost Loan Talks
When the Pac-12 first started loan talks this summer, it was looking at securing close to $1 billion to support its schools, which were projected to lose up to $80 million each amid the pandemic an…

I really hope that we don't end up playing CSU on a Sunday or Monday, just to give us a short week heading into playing USC
