If the whole season is cancelled, how about playing one game? That's Army-Navy. Play it on Thanksgiving weekend, either that Friday or Saturday. Players can individually opt-out if they want. For those who want to play, allow one month of practices leading up to that game. I have no idea who would need to be involved in the approval process, other than the two schools. To play that game would be a great service to the country. By that time, we will have been through the COVID pandemic, layoffs, business/church shutdowns, a recession, racial tension, and probably the most contentious election in history. Some of it will still be ongoing. Our country will NEED to watch that game.
Also, our graduating players don't get another shot. THEY need to play the game. Let them do it on a very big stage. Give all proceeds to COVID research or another related cause. Let every college football team in the land send one representative to the game. You get the idea... we could make that game a one-game season of college football. And this country could use it as a platform for much a much needed break from what has been an awful 2020, and a launching pad to a much better 2021.
