Wood have Arizona on their way to Washington right now to play a Sunday game to open up both their schedules on Nov 21. This gives them flexibility to replace other teams who will undoubtedly not be able to play that weekend.
There is literally no reason not to do this.
So it won’t happen.

The logistics of playing a game in an empty stadium dont seem all that challenging with a couole of days' notice. What do I know thoufh?GrundleStiltzkin said: -
The SEC would pull it off rather easily.chuck said:

You need officials, TV equipment, a TV crew, etc. It's not insurmountable, but it's not nothin'. I wouldn't be surprised if you also need local health official approval and approval from on high at both universities. I know that where I work you can't change out an inconsequential piece of carbon steel pipe the size of my finger with a stainless piece without 30 people in nine different Skype meetings over a two-week period.chuck said:

Scheduling, organizing travel and logistics for, approving something like a college football game with a day's notice? For teams located 1200 miles apart as the crow flies? Yeah, I believe them that it's a bit of a tall order. -
It's so fucking disheartening to see this level of organizational fumbling. The Pac-12 is operating like a bureaucracy with a million red tape hurdles to clear. Except there are no actual red tape hurdles to clear. You just need fast-acting executives who can bring parties together and hammer out quick, decisive moves. We have none of those people in conference leadership.
And by the way, Jen is culpable for every bit of that blame as well. If she's getting stonewalled then she needs to publicly shame whoever is preventing this from happening, be it Arizona or the conference, and let everyone know that she's working overtime to implement contingency plans.
We just get shoulder shrugging instead. -
"Explored options". Fuck that. Admin speak for "eh, it's hard". If you actually explored options and they fell through then name some names and let the public know how pissed off you are at whoever the roadblock is.GrundleStiltzkin said: -
It's not like they already had a game approved for Saturday night with a TV crew and everything.1to392831weretaken said:

You move it back a day. The crews probably haven't even flown in yet so they aren't even out an extra night in a hotel.
It's challenging yes but welcome to 2020. Conferences that GAF find solutions.
The Pac cancels games.
And they know their idiot fans will respond just like this. -
It’s all about the process man.dnc said: -
Sounds to me like “we wouldn’t be able to air this game on TV and we’d lose out on precious Shanghai viewership when Pac12 network airs AZ @ WA in 2 weeks”

Then as Coker says on Twitter, you play that game again.NEsnake12 said:Sounds to me like “we wouldn’t be able to air this game on TV and we’d lose out on precious Shanghai viewership when Pac12 network airs AZ @ WA in 2 weeks”
Who cares if they play twice in a season. At least they're playing.
And you're certainly not keeping that viewership by not playing at all. -

Dude.
No one is disputing that it will be more difficult than usual to pull this off. You're right, it's a bit of a tall order. I was about to rant about leadership at you but you're a decent guy so I'll just gocommit seppukuoutside instead. Later guys. -
I didn't say it wasn't a tall order, I know there's a lot of shit that has to happen and I have a government job so I know about beurocracy. They had more than one day to make it happen though. The 1200 mile distance is meaningless since we recently invented air travel and transport. Refs, sideline people, security, all of this other shit can be brought together if there's a smidgen of determination.1to392831weretaken said:

Oh no! 1200 miles? Goodness how will they all get there? Lol.1to392831weretaken said:

Its a talk order, sure. It's nothing exceptional on the scale of college football and the logistics that go into every other fall Saturday every other year. No provisions for tens of thousands of humans eases a big chunk of the burden.
A tall order? Yeah duh. Insurmountable if you value playing football games? Hardly. -
Disagree. Disney and Fox know exactly where to put all of their gear. Some of the cabling could be run in advance and you could go with less cameras. The flights are chartered anyway and Hotels would be climbing over each other to provide accommodations for 100 people given how hard their industry has been hit.1to392831weretaken said:

But given the local protocols in the West that we are now seeing, that somehow the Pac 12 didn’t know about, there will be greater odds that games get canceled than played.
If these cities/counties are not going to make exceptions, then pull the plug. -

This game could have been played. Maybe not the way they wanted it, but welcome to current events, dipshits. It's a pandemic out there and you have to learn to adapt and roll with the punches, not just go hide in the basement. Fuckin' losers. -
Fuck this conference, fuck Larry, fuck chino xl and while I’m at it fuck Trump.
Loser conference.

Is there a way to join the Big 10? Round up a few more teams and we could make it an even Big 20

Why hasn't Biden cured COVID yet?
Spending too much time curing cancer. Priorities out of whack.
