The logistics of booking hotels for college teams, TV crews etc the Monday prior is a lot different in Covid Tims than during a normal economy.longduckdong said:Maybe they should do this every year
Just spin a wheel every Monday of in conference games and thats who you play?
Every week if you have already played a team they are no longer on the table.
If minor hockey teams can organize a tournament for 8 teams from 10 hour drives away then cfb can figure it out. Do we need players moms taking turns bringing pre game snacks now? Maybe we should just play in state teams since booking flights is such an ordeal.
I thought ye better thats some div 2 mentality
I don't disagree that ADs with all their resources could figure it out. But this is a stupid argument. -
I have no doubt, but what I’m talking about is this years in advance nonsense.YellowSnow said:

A friend works in a hotel here in Lexington. Based on what he’s told me, I think the logistical requirements for a college football team are a slight bit higher than for minor league hockey.Canadawg said:

One thing that could alleviate some of the logistics would be to designate one hotel for every opponent each season. You then could have an opening for whatever team is coming to town that week and a baseline of requirements pre established.
But who gives a shit. This is a fun idea that’s not gonna happen.

As a Seb fan, and with Mercedes being so dominant, this season hasn't held much appeal personally.1to392831weretaken said:

8 teams consisting of 25 personnel plus families is well over 300 people. The fact that booking a hotel is even mentioned by staff or yella is flat out embarrassing. I agree that it would be made even easier to have a hotel reserved for every home date, then its idiot proofGreenRiverGatorz said:

Hotels, airlines, sporting venues, and broadcasting companies stand to lose a lot of $$$$ with random scheduling. It's not impossible, but it's also not practical.
Anyway, money talks and bullshit walks. It's all about the money. Scheduling in advance is way more efficient for lodging, transportation, event planning, etc.
Random Schedule Generator would be fun and interesting for the fans. But, it would be very much at the expense of many businesses and entities.
The ADs are not totally full of shit and neither is @YellowSnow. -

If a bunch of hockey moms can make this happen then so can the NCAA!YellowSnow said:

I will say this: By someone misspelling an email address, I ended up on a @Logistics thread with a group of hockey moms in Calgary a few years ago. I feel comfortable in saying they were more serious about playing than Larry Scott.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
