Good option to replace Dobbins IF he stays healthy.

Good option to replace Dobbins IF he stays healthy.
After Teague got hurt, they needed to add someone. Sermon is a similar type back and I expect him to fill in and start. They'll still use Chambers or Crowley (or Teague if he makes it back), but Sermon can plug right in.
Congrats on TreVeyon Henderson ('21)
The last 10 days have been crazy for recruiting. This has the real potential to be the best recruiting class in college football history with a few of the names expected to commit.
Probably not an issue for you guys, but there is some speculation that some recruits may just move forward with a commitment to a "good option" because of the limited ability or inability to do visits during this usually busy period....which could make it more likely they change their mind later. Like I said, probably not an issue for the elite programs.Quote:

Sounds like if Ohio State and Oregon still end up playing in Eugene in September, it'll be with no fans, which isn't surprising really, but is looking like more of a reality.
I think sometime in July college football is going to move the season to February and just play 10 or 12 conference games. I don't see how September is going to work.
Is it a Home and Home deal? If so, why not switch the order if fans are allowed in Columbus?Quote:

Assuming the Big 10 lets them Ohio State is planning on the football team to report June 8.
The B1G, or any conference for that matter, shouldn't stand in the way of athletes reporting to school. For many athletes, they are better served on campus (or nearby) than off.Quote:

Gene Smith also talking about possibly having around 20-25k fans in the stadium. That would have a real 1998 MLS vibe too it, but I guess it's probably better than an empty stadium.
2000 students and the 18,000 biggest donors?
Plus the players families, that's probably about right.Quote:

Most Ohio State football players are already back in Columbus as voluntary workouts approach

I'm gonna note this here rather than the general college football thread - but I noticed on the crawl the other day UMich said there will be no football for them this season if students don't return to campus. Any thoughts on that?
What that means to me is (that the plan is) students will be returning to campus.
More and more schools are talking about having kids back on campus or at least a hybrid model.Quote:

That is one way to avoid losing to Ohio State in 9 consecutive seasons.Quote:

Campuses will have the flexibility to use the online-only period (Nov. 30 to Feb. 8 – a new Winter Session) in various ways: to finish fall semester courses, to begin spring semester courses, or to create new intensive courses that use either or both the December and January online periods.
The Spring Semester will begin with online only instruction on Jan. 19 and then resume in-person instruction on Feb. 8. The semester will run to May 9 without a Spring break.
Undergraduate students who take advantage of IU’s banded tuition rates can include courses from the Fall Semester, Winter Session or Spring Semester as part of the new calendar without any additional cost.
So it seems the campus will be more or less closed Nov 20 to Feb 8. No? Yes? I wonder what will that mean to IU sports.
More basketball tickets available to the general public?Quote:

Football sounds pretty certain. They are trying to figure out how many people they can get inside to watch the games, not if they will play them.Quote:
