— Spring seasons. Teams are permitted to play up to eight games in the spring, ending on or before April 17. This would put the earliest regular season spring game on Jan. 23.
— Playoffs. The playoffs will begin the week of April 18 — meaning the first games will be April 24, most likely — and conclude May 15. In accordance with other fall sports, the field will be cut down from 16 teams to 24.
“Existing maximum contest limits and normal practice limitations apply,” the NCAA said. “Conference championship games can be added, and the potential for bowl games in the spring also remains. Conferences can start and end their seasons at their discretion, within the limits adopted by the Council. Additionally, schools applying the autonomy legislation must provide a week off at the end of the regular season and/or postseason.”

The Mountain West Conference and PAC12 conference are aggressively trying to get football going this fall and still compete for bowls and the College Football Playoff.
Late October start. I guess the good news for the FCS is they will be the big show come this spring if it comes to fruition.
