With the news from the Detroit Free-Press that the Big Ten has voted to cancel their 2020 football season, it feels like just a matter of time until the ACC, SEC, Pac-12, Big 12 and everyone else follows their lead.
For college football fans it’s not fun to think about, even if it makes all the sense in the world, which I think there are clearly two sides to see.
But one question we’re left with as college football fans that we are is, “What do we do on Saturdays now?”
Saturdays in the fall. I guess pumpkin patches and apple farms and whatever other non-football fall activities are right around the corner like always but there may be a different league for us to watch on Saturday this year.

According to one report from Mike Freeman, that league might just be the NFL.
NFL GM tells me he believes it’s a forgone conclusion the NFL will play regularly on Saturdays if no CFB.

It’d make all the sense in the world as long as the NFL is playing, I will give them that. All of this open time with a lot of people craving sports to watch and all of a sudden a lot more TV availability.
It is just one report but the idea of it certainly makes all kinds of sense.
