Rumors starting to get out that the P5 conferences are going to postpone their seasons within the next 72 hours or so.

Mountain West Conference is FBS #2 to drop, plus Old Dominion from CUSA. B1G holds the cards, if they go, the Pac 12 goes next.

I doubt this will happen, but let's say the SEC and ACC decides not to postpone their season, what does the NCAA do? When do you have the CFP? With the PAC-12 and Big 10 postponing, I feel like the NCAA needs to just postpone football til the spring

Division III Maine Maritime cuts football. Those of you who read the MAAC or Iona boards might know that the son of longtime poster GuyF was on the team the past season or two, a starting lineman.

UNC brought their kids back for in-person classes last week. One week later they have over 130 new infections on campus and are already transitioning to a remote environment. Definitely not what you want to see, if that happens with smaller schools, some of them won't come back.

Maybe. But NY has done well with reopening for a few months and most of the kids are resident students. And it's a smaller student body, so less potential points of failure. Not like they're going to go out to the bars like normal, they're all closed or really limited. If a MAAC school goes under...probably gonna be Canisius. Having a lot of problems lately. Marist has made cuts. A lot of security got laid off, selling the NYC center, etc. But Canisius is cutting into the muscle now with faculty layoffs.

do I think a significant and perhaps surprisingly large number of small colleges will close forever from this? Yes.
do I think any of these will be schools that college sports fans will have even a passing familiarity with, any in Division I at all? No.
