First for county shelter in place
First for statewide safer at home

And now first public university system (CSU's 23 campuses) to go almost exclusively online for the fall.

Given Emmert's statement regarding on-campus education as a requirement for NCAA sports this is an ominous development.

It was pretty obvious to this observer that if Cal State Fullerton was gonna have all online classes that all the other CSUs would fall in line, and then there would be no reason to think the UC system wouldn’t follow suit.

Football is hardly the biggest concern anymore, but you'd think that knocks out SJS, Fresno St, San Diego St, Davis, Sac St, Cal Poly, plus lower div teams from other campuses. Can't see how UCB and UCLA come to a different conclusion, although maybe they can. Oregon's governor has said no sports with spectators through at least September. UO and Oregon State have home games scheduled in September, they both are still claiming the season will go on but would obviously have to be heavily modified. Not looking good right now.

My guess is the schools will try to come up with a way to play football and keep the revenue coming. Whether it is workable, has enough support to happen, or survives further developments remains to be seen.

There will be no regular college experience and there will be no college sports this fall. The universities need to rip the bandaid off.

Stanford issued an interim update to students today. It lays out a range of scenarios, including the extremes, and indicates how campus life is likely to be different during the next academic year.

My system's announcement yesterday has me depressed.  Reading between the lines, it does not sound likely that the CSU will be back in the classroom again until Fall 2021.

Mr. White, the Cal State chancellor, noted that academic researchers and public health experts were predicting a “second, smaller wave” of the coronavirus this summer, “followed by a very significant wave” in the fall and another wave in the first quarter of next year.

With no vaccine on the immediate horizon, Mr. White told the system’s trustees that “it would be irresponsible” to postpone a decision on in-person classes until summer, only to be forced to retreat hastily to remote learning in the fall.

I'm sure we all understand what this means for sports if most other universities follow suit, and after struggling mightily with their decisions, I imagine they will.

Wow, the potential Stanford campus experience described in the note sounds rather bleak.  

I do like that CSU decided to call this early, so that students and parents can get some time to determine if this upcoming year will meet their needs and expectations. 

I think schools that declare all will be normal only to make a quick switch in mid-August will leave the students and families in a tough place.   They may need to consider the academic quality and the lack of a campus culture while simultaneously struggling with economic uncertainties that may make paying for college very challenging. 

I think a lot of schools would worry about enrollment if they announced online early here in May, but as many of the major CSU campuses are impacted (at or above capacity) thinning the enrollment ranks might create a silver lining.

Looks to me like COVID19 will become the Director's cup champion for 2019-2020 AND 2020-2021

A more definitive announcement should come from Stanford in June.

The fall reunions are another shoe waiting to drop.

We have the most points this year, we won it fair and square, and I want it in the trophy case.

Same could apply for the Women's Credit Card cup.   Stanford had won two of the 3X sports, so that thing was already a sure thing.

Still, the NACDA decided not to issue the cup because a number of sports did not get a complete season.   Just sitting here in May 2020 it sure looks like the Men's water polo season for the fall 2020 is destined to be cancelled since many of the teams in that sport are CSU or UC teams.   I am sure other sports will get cancelled too, but even a few would probably place COVID19 as the cup champion again.

And while we are here....The NAIA, DIII, DII and DI champions are often the same schools year after year.   I can't help but suspect that a two year pause will turn into a permanent pause for the NACDA Cups.
