so funny thing is only ACC is playing oOC games (B12 too i think). sec can do their own thing if they want to since they dont have an OOC opponent
I'm really hoping the SEC,Big 12 and ACC find a way to have a conference only schedule. Big 10 and Pac 12 can kick rocksso funny thing is only ACC is playing oOC games (B12 too i think). sec can do their own thing if they want to since they dont have an OOC opponent
Well saidI think Trevor and Justin, among the other stars in college football, have all done a huge service to college football and the country by not taking this lying down.
The NCAA and the Conf presidents are SCARED ****LESS all because of liability. It could also include the pay for play and likeness stuff from this year, however I think it is straight liability and covid ****.
The kids will be fine. I will venture to say that not a single D1 P5 athlete will die from Covid..
Unfortunately the media and the Armageddon news reports on the daily have freaked everyone out that some how some of the most athletic young people on planet earth, are some how in MORE danger, spitting and sweating on each other in controlled, isolated environments, than if they were back in the the various marginalised low income neighborhoods they are from?
If kids will be on campus for class, they can play football. I would go so far as to say that if you isolated football players from gen pop for the fall semester (I assume they are doing this), they are arguably going to be the healthiest people around.
The lack of transparency by the conferences and the NCAA is going to change forever now these players are standing up. The vast majority wants to play, twitter is a good barometer for that. Fans or not, they should be allowed to. I am sure if it was all about a waver, everyone would sign it. That is how much this means to these kids.
Also, waiting for spring doesn't change ****.

Are you suggesting that an additional 160,000 people are going to die in the next 5 months?
He'd be denied Unemployment Benefits on the strength of realistically being Unemployed while Employed at UM...If we don’t play can we put Patke on unemployment?
But he's saying it's 5 times deadlier and we're going to have 320,000 deaths by the end of the year. That would require an infection rate equivalent to what we've already seen. It's not happening.He is trying to compare the death rate from COVID to the death rate from the common flu.
After all the Sh*t Ohio State AD was talking about playing football. They voted not to have a season. I can care less about the Big Ten and rose bowl butt buddy Pac-12
There’s no way the ACC and SEC cancel.
Correct. It will not be. Also, the average age of the newly infected is lower and the average health of the newly infected is higher. Thus, even if the infection rate is the same, I would expect the death rate to be lower.But he's saying it's 5 times deadlier and we're going to have 320,000 deaths by the end of the year.

It's also a completely different family of virus. It won't follow the same pattern just as it didn't die off in the summer.Correct. It will not be. Also, the average age of the newly infected is lower and the average health of the newly infected is higher.
The only way we reach 320,000 is if we have a bigger second wave in the fall. It happened in the flu pandemic of 1918-1919, but I would expect the mistakes of that pandemic not to repeat themselves.
