Serves the gator bowl right for not choosing the Vols.

My recollection is that the various bowls were finagling behind the scenes with various teams but that the SEC office (Alabama) put their foot down and assigned each of the bowls to the respective teams.

Had they NOT done that, it would have resulted in A&M being penalized by the bowl officials in the future by their being relegated to a lower tier location as a result of this stupidity.

As it is, though, Jimbo can just stay home and count his money and reflect on his recruiting class; rather than take a loss and tarnish his image as a Bama-beater.

I said a few days ago in another thread that I will be surprised if we even get to play in Music City bowl. If you look at all the college BB cancellations and pro, the NCAA will feel the heat.
Also, could very well cancel national championship.

Just curious, has anybody thought about what would happen if say for instance half the team got wiped out for one of the playoff teams?

Was there a contingency mapped out?

There is no plan. I would imagine they would try to push the game back but there’s always the possibility said team would have to forfeit.

No team that wasn’t already going to a bowl is going to be able to step in on this short of notice. They haven’t been practicing, and the players are likely dispersed all over the country for Christmas break.

I guess you couldn’t sense the sarcasm. Vanderbilt wouldn’t be in consideration for any bowl replacement. But they will definitely find a replacement. There’s too much money to be lost.

As it should be and I’ll go one further . The NCAA should have this as a comprehensive policy for ALL sports & all participants instead of the current piecemeal arrangement that varies by conference affiliation . If this were the case chickenshart coaches couldn‘t use it as an excuse to weasel out of a game an hour before tip without taking the L .

That’s a totally hypothetical scenario regarding a coach weaseling out of a game at the last minute btw , I don’t believe that any coach would do something like that .
