- The mistake that is the 2020 college football season took full flower today as the Big XII and SEC kicked off their abbreviated schedules.
- According to Yahoo, allowing fans for Week 3:
- Jacksonville did and lost to Miami Thursday night. (Home teams with fans are 5-2, the two losses both being Florida teams.)
- Indianapolis will allow 7500 against the Jets.
- Denver will allow 5700 to their game this week.
- Cleveland will allow 6000.
- Second game of a two-game no-fans order: Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Buffalo
- Second game of a three-game no-fans order: Seattle
- Through the month of September: New England
- Until further notice: Philadelphia, New York Giants, LA Chargers
- Something interesting in both Arizona's game and a BIG Sunday nighter in New Orleans against the Packers: For each of those two games, the team will allow 750 family members of players, coaches, and staff to attend to help the teams make a concerted effort toward getting fans back in the stands in those stadiums.
- Atlanta is doing the same with 500 family members, planning for an October 11th welcoming back of fans.
- And the Ravens, in the NFL Game of the Year against the Chiefs Monday Night, will do the same with 250 family members, etc. and so on.
CBS numbers for Week 2 were not good:
- National: 10.1 rating, about 19 million viewers, worst National Week 2 since 2000 -- -23% rating and -19% viewers since the same window on FOX last year.
- Regional: A BEATING. 5.4 rating, just under 10 million viewers. About -40% from last year's regional in both numbers.
- NFL has reminded the teams of game-day protocols, NFL.com reporting at least one team is under investigation for unauthorized locker room access.
