College football insider: ‘0.0 percent’ chance season starts on time

One college football insider is not confident at all season will start on time.

Brett McMurphy cites John “Bluto” Blutarsky’s GPA as the chance college football starts on time.

Even though “Bluto” became a U.S. Senator after rolling two donuts for a grade point average at Faber College, that doesn’t mean his lack of excellence in the classroom can’t be made an example of. “Fat, drunk and stupid” may not be a way to go through life, but it did get Blutarsky somewhere promising. Too bad McMurphy has 0.0 percent confidence the college season starts on time.

So from the looks of it, McMurphy suggests we’re getting college football action on Labor Day about as likely as Delta Tau Chi was going to survive being on double secret probation after the infamous toga party.

Brett McMurphy gives us no chance of college football starting on time.

As you would expect, the Twitterverse bombarded the college football insider for Stadium’s mentions with one Bluto GIF after another. Were there a few Lloyd Christmas, “so you’re telling me there’s a chance?” GIFs thrown in there? You better believe it, as were some impromptu tweets at Old Takes Exposed.

What is troubling about this besides the whole 0.0 GPA analogy is the shamelessly deplorable job of NCAA president Mark Emmert. This was an opportunity for the head of the NCAA to get out ahead of this and, as expected, he blew it. While the Power 5 and the Group of 5 plan to implement their own testing protocols, it’s beyond painful how incredibly worthless the NCAA is.

The Big Ten and the Pac-12 have opted to go conference-only this fall. While we should expect a condensed regular season, probably a nine-game conference slate and a plus-one Power 5 non-conference game between ACC, Big 12 and SEC schools, it’s going to be so weird not having college football to watch on Labor Day Weekend. How else are we going to know fall is coming?

Though crashing a parade isn’t going to solve anything, maybe wearing a mask when you go out in public would help? Just a thought. Football is so unbelievably important for our country and we’re quickly seeing it slip away from our finger tips. Though we still probably will get college football in some capacity this fall, it sounds like your calendar just opened up to go nowhere for Labor Day.

McMurphy’s pessimism about the college season starting on time speaks volumes at this time.
