Okay everybody the Weekside Podcast is back alongside Jenny Grentiss I'm

Connor Orr we are coming to you on Monday recording this on Monday around 2 p.m.

and as it stands right now I mean this football this season and so we're going to talk about the NFL season our

season preview issue is going to hit new stands tomorrow as it stands right now

with a lovely story by Jenny Wrentiss on the cover which is very

excited very excited to talk to her about that in a little bit but let's just

first acknowledge the weirdness of the fact that we have no idea what's going to happen.

The impact that this is going to have on the NFL season on, you know, they're not going to have spring college football you know we've seen

evaluators already saying that this combine is going to be monumental because you

know there might be a ton of kids without any tape that you're going to get to look at,

transfers, who's leaving early.

I mean, this is going to be, I think, chaos, sort of hitting the funnel right now and everything's about to explode.

Yeah, it seemed like the decisions from Yukon and then the MAC conference were kind of the first two moves that really got the ball rolling for the

Power Five conferences to reconsider the season and everything really came to a head on Sunday night.

You had indications that there would be no football

season, that conferences were meeting to discuss this issue.

And then you had players saying they wanted to be able to play but

also would hope to unionize which is another significant development so it's

been a pretty chaotic 24 hours for college football and so then the

NFL is kind of moving ahead as scheduled. Things came to ahead I think sooner for

college football for a lot of reasons.

You know we've had players who have had issues after testing positive for COVID.
