Whether causal or correlated, a review of knowledge covering football finances, fan greed ratings, educational rankings, virus positivity rates, and presidential voting trends in Power Five schools (and the states in which they reside) suggests that the opposite effects of Big Ten and Pac 12 nullifies fall football while the SEC, The big 12 and the CCA move things forward is probably the confluence of points involving money, degrees of greed from regional supporters, regional differences to the extent that school football is a cultural/social component. fabric of a community, and regional ideologies in all likelihood formed through differences in political orientation.
Summary here with the main points to follow, the trends observed in this research recommend that, among Power’s five conventions, a convention most likely to “choose” for football in the fall of 2020:
In addition:
context
The Big Ten and Pac 12 meetings recently made headlines when they announced separately the same day that they would not play school football in the fall 2020 semester.
However, while those two Power Five meetings have joined the ranks of other Division I leagues that before this summer to spend fall football (e. g. Ivy League, MAC, Mountain West Conference and others), the other 3 Power Five meetings (the SEC, ACC, and Big 12) now have to continue their plans to organize an abbreviated convention season this fall.
From an operational and philosophical point of view, the question of whether or not to play school football in the fall of 2020 in the face of a global pandemic is infinitely desirable given the financial, medical, ethical and cultural innuendos, and lends itself to many comparisons through those meetings to better perceive its potential disparate football-related options in the fall of 2020.
With regard to the resolution of playing school football this fall, it is transparent that those divergent resolutions at Power Five meetings were/are motivated by a mixture of regional money, culture and ideologies.
To check and notice patterns/trends, I looked at 7 other measures:
Academics at the University of Washington at St. LouisLouis, Katie Hasley, Ally Gerard and Alec Gordon contributed to the collection of knowledge for the analyses presented here.
Are monetary considerations fundamental to the autumn football game?
Yes and no.
Yes, if we take a look at why the Power Five meetings were more planned in their evaluation of the opportunity to play this fall. Conferences such as the Ivy League, MAC and Mountain West do not generate as much football profit as Power Five schools. Their resolve to get past fall soccer is more obvious. Power Five reunions generate far more soccer profits than the rest of Division I soccer, largely through large television contracts. Let’s assume that the enthusiasts will be largely absent from the games this season . . . so it carries less weight for this season alone.
No, when you just take a look at the other decisions made through Power Five meetings related to school football.
Within Power 5, Table 1 below shows that the relative monetary generosity of school football is the purpose of governing the resolution to challenge a fall 2020 season.
Using the knowledge of the Knight Commission and the U. S. Department of Education’s Athletic Equity Knowledge Base. But it’s not the first time For the 2018 school football season, we found that Big Ten Middle School generates more football winnings and profits than any other conference. . . but they to do it, don’t go ahead with school football in the fall.
We also see a transparent monetary demarcation between the Big Ten and the SEC in relation to Pac 12 and CCA. The first is transparent the richest 2 of the Power 5, the last the 2 transparent the least rich of the Power 5. those ‘two’, so far we’ve noticed other decisions to play fall football.
So, what happens then? Well, 3 things come to mind, highlighted in Tables 2, 3 and four below:
Table 2 below shows what percentage of the last 4 school football playoff spots were received through the Power Five convention. The higher percentage, the more strength (and influence) the convention has on the market.
Table 3 below shows the comparative presence of professional games (i. e. the number of professional groups in the state of one of North America’s 4 primary gaming leagues) in member school states. Professional play serves as an option for entertainment presented through school games Therefore, if there are few or no professional play group in a state, state citizens can adopt the university team as “their” team. Make this equipment/school a relatively larger component of the social fabric of this region. And cultural identity would not be true otherwise.
Two other tactics for comparing fan greed in The Power Five, shown in Table Four above, are (a) attendance at games as a percentage of the stadium’s capacity and (b) the relative duration of a program’s social media subscribers relative to the state population. We perceive that students and program enthusiasts necessarily have to live in the state, however, it is moderate to assume that a giant percentage of a team’s total fan base lives in the state.
What other points can only the other paths selected through power five for fall football in 2020?
Two other points I have can be classified as medical and ideological, and both are particularly influenced by regional considerations.
From a medical point of view, I find it difficult to reconcile how the medical advisory committee of a convention recommends not playing when convention medical experts say football betting this fall is viable.
In my opinion, if the Ivy League Medical Advisory Board says it is feasible, its collective experience takes precedence over all others. Case closed.
But since we’re focusing on Power Five conferences, I think it would be fun to compare the educational stature of those schools, whether it’s their overall grade (using the 2019 Forbes rating) and their college grade. Medicine (using 2020 US News ratings). Here, the lower the number, the higher the collective educational qualification of member schools within a conference.
Another medical detail that may indicate the direction taken through a convention is whether the states in which a school is competing are experiencing spikes in virus positivity rates lately. Here, I visited the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, which tracked virus trends, and collected 7 average cell phone positivity rates per day for the state that hosts a Power Five program.
Second, there are differences in regional ideologies, whether these differences are politically motivated or simply philosophical as to whether we should be as cautious about the uncertainty created by the virus or continue our lives while we are cautiously around the virus, there are differences that require consideration.
The Guardian provides the effects of state-by-state voting for the 2016 presidential election. Comparing Power’s five conferences on electorate trends in its Member States analyzed themselves in the 2016 elections, Table 7 above shows:
I’m considering that comparison for that reason. If college rectors are the ones making the final decisions about whether schools play football at school in the fall (what they are meant to be), and whether those presidents are not immune to the political and cultural pressures they face in their own regions and states through voters. , then one can see how the political or ideological tendency of a specific region can influence a president’s decision-making process.
As noted above, from an operational and philosophical point of view, the possibility of playing college football or not in the fall 2020 semester in the face of a global pandemic is infinitely desirable given the financial, medical, ethical and cultural innuendos that lie ahead.
In conclusion, it also underlines the absence of a unique direction in school football. Many have called for new leadership in the NCAA and/or the creation of a school football commissioner to encourage greater collaboration.
On a smaller scale, Pac 12 took action that way Wednesday by appointing an executive, former NFL player Merton Hanks, to oversee school football at the convention point within Pac 12Array.
Hopefully, this may mean the beginning of a trend that other meetings and the NCAA will emulate in order to instill more specific and precise leadership for the greatest driving force of earnings in school athletics: college football.
