I'll put this here because it will likely get political even though it is a sports question. Is there any reason to have sports with out fans if we are good to go according to science? I don't want sports without fans and I have yet to see a rational reason for it

    Whatever the rule might be, attendance in the P12 will be shit.

    That's a choice they should have. The tweet you had from Bama SCREAMING that TEN new cases were at Bryant Denny with no context is a big part of the problem

    I don't think a lot of fans will come even if allowed. So open it up.

    As long as they play the games I don’t care. But this is my prediction.

    Little skin in the game since I haven't had season tickets since 2014, but if fan participation is the sticking point on whether the games happen, then leave 'em empty. IDGAF how the games are played as long as the games are played and I get to watch in some fashion.

    Offer good for one season only.

    Also, if Oregon starts 1-2, they can cancel the season.

    It's a flawed question. I think some places will have fans and some will not. If we are specifically talking about Pac 12 games, then there won't be fans at the start of the season. But the SEC and Big 10 will probably have fans. I'm as close to 100% sure as I can be with the SEC. That's a free money bet, that their stadiums will be packed.

    You would like there to be uniformity, but some states will not allow fans, and Emmert is too much of a pussy to force all FBS schools to not have fans.

    At this point I think most in the sports world just want to make sure the games are going to be played, which is why they’re saying “sure we’ll play without fans” when asked.

    Get the games on the calendar first, then worry about the debate over fans vs. no fans. Making games with fans a package deal will just give the Inslee’s and Newsom’s more political ammo to say no

    I think there is pent up demand and people not all that scared based on science or their own two eyes

    I'm out and about interacting with people because construction is a vital industry and in the real world its not like the internet
