Anyone else a little nervous.

Illinois just moved Football to the Spring, starting on February 15 (assuming that means when team activities start, not necessarily games). Basketball was moved back as well until November 15, which usually started late October or early November.

Many Division 3 in my area completely went to a start in January.

This will be a very different year for sure.

Haven't heard anything on high school sports so far for Colorado

Our prominent Juco leagues moved the start of basketball games to around January 21st.

They moved the football season to January. So not surprised at all by much of this. But we have dumb people in my part of the country complaining as if someone is doing something to them, while schools cannot decide if they will be able to open in their building. We have dumb people in two of the states I work acting like someone is undermining them not to play as scheduled.

NCAA COVID-19-Related Rule Changes For 2020

The NCAA also announced a few temporary pandemic-related rule changes for football aimed to “help mitigate risk of contamination and enhance a safer return to play for all participants without affecting competitive equity.”

First, the sideline area where football teams are expected to stand has been extended to the 15-yard lines. Ordinarily, teams must stand within the two 25-yard lines.

Another change involves the coin toss. For the 2020-21 season, the coin toss will involve only four people: two officials and one captain from each team. Under ordinary circumstances, the NCAA allowed up to four captains per side, as well as media members or ceremonial captains to be involved in the coin toss.

Is this just spitting on a fire? Aren't there bigger fish to fry?

Or, does every little bit help, no matter how little?

These changes don't seem to suggest that is all that will be done. There could be several administrative stuff that doesn't require a rule change in order to implement.

Pay no attention to that pesky line of scrimmage, or the mass of bodies at the end of each play on top of the ball carrier...it's the heavy breathing during the coin toss that we are concerned about! What a joke...
