I was chatting with an influential college football power-broker Saturday night, after writing my column that the cancellation of the fall football season seemed inevitable after the Mid-American Conference’s decision to move the season to spring 2021.
The power-broker didn’t necessarily disagree, but he had one wish. He was hopeful that the Power 5 conferences could get together, and if this was going to eventually happen for all the leagues, they could make the decision in unison. Announce it all at once.
That, of course, is 21st century thinking. But college football is stuck in previous centuries.
