[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 876269, member: 7261"] Going to try this again. I understand the Mods closing it, due to it getting too political and controversial and I apologize for my part in that. But again....I think a VERY worthwhile and current Football Topic, so lets try my April 3rd post again and [B][SIZE=4]please no politics or debates on the COVID19 crisis.[/SIZE][/B] As the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold, the possibility of the NCAA and the NFL having to cancel their upcoming Football seasons grows larger each day. While I am not saying that this will happen and I would like to stay optimistic, I am curious how it would play out in regards to the NCAA, the NFL , Free Agency and the 2021 Draft. I do think if the NCAA cancels, unless something epic changes after that, the NFL will almost have to follow in kind or risk looking like a greedy business that cares more about profit then the health of humans. I also don't think "playing games" without fans physically in the stadiums is an option either. The NCAA thought about that for basketball and then they realized that the players, game personnel and anyone else involved are still at risk. Further, by doing so, it totally flies in the face of what everyone else is being told to do, maintain social distancing. So for argument sake, lets pretend the 2020 season is cancelled for everyone. My questions are: [LIST] [*]Are any of the players paid their salaries including newly signed rookies? [*]If a players contract expires at the end of the 2020 season, will the cancelled season effect that or just like any year, they become a free agent next March? I assume yes. [*]With the NCAA cancelling, how will that effect eligibility of players? Would most get that season back? How does that effect the draft pool? [*]Would knowing that there wasn't going to be a 2020 season or a good possibility of it, change your approach to the upcoming draft? [/LIST] Even if both the NFL and college programs are able to hold their seasons, when will they be able to start practicing again? How will the layoff effect injuries and play? [/QUOTE]
