Georgia football: What might happen if the 2020 season is canceled

The 2021 football season

What becomes of the 2020 schedule? Will the schedule shift accordingly and is that even possible? Georgia has a lot of huge non-conference matchups scheduled for the next decade. Will canceling the 2020 season have some kind of effect on those contracts?

That’s hard to determine right now and it’s up to the athletic directors and conference commissioners to discuss. That’s a conversation that has probably and hopefully already begun.

Regardless, no event in college football history would be more celebrated than the first game and first weekend of the 2021 football season. That first game would shatter TV ratings records and possibly attendance records.

Each of those huge neutral-site kickoff games and the teams involved will politic their case to be the first ones on TV. The season might start indoors the first Saturday of August before actually beginning for most other programs in September.

The price of those tickets will skyrocket as well. If you thought $1,100 for the Georgia football game at Notre Dame was expensive, wait until you see the ticket price for Georgia’s game with UCLA in Atlanta or the game with Clemson in Charlotte (depending on how rescheduling works). And the atmosphere will reflect that. The crowds will be electric from start-to-finish.

Ideally, these are not questions we want to be asking this summer. Hopefully, by June, normalcy will start returning for everyone. We don’t want more of these “what if” scenarios, we want to watch our Georgia football team compete for a championship in 2020.
