Fans are now having to face the very real likelihood that the college football season will be canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Reports indicate the Pac-12 and the Big-10 could be making announcements as soon as Tuesday and other conferences are sure to follow.
No college football on Saturdays would leave a huge void on weekends throughout the fall, however, the NFL may have a possible solution.
“Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL likely will move games from Sundays to Saturday, if college football doesn’t proceed this season,” Mike Florio of PFT writes. “It’s unclear whether the games would be broadcast, streamed, or distributed on a pay-per-view basis, but the league likely would backfill the vacant Saturday windows with NFL content.”
Florio notes three games could be played each Saturday much like during the late season in the NFL. Fans could then watch NFL football four days a week: Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Thursday.
