Our hospitals are not at risk of being overwhelmed. That is clear and undeniable. We are at the calculated "height" of cases and deaths, and they aren't even close to being at capacity.

You want to keep social distancing in place for a while longer, go for it. The stay at home order needs to be lifted and businesses need to be allowed to open back up.

Guess that settles it then.

U Conn President says football is likely canceled


UConn probably makes more money from M/W BBall than their football program. They are kind of an outlier in that sense compared to the other D1 programs. It probably does make financial sense for UConn to cancel football.

I will get scared when an SEC school or Ohio State or Texas president makes a similar statement.

I guess you could call it wrong, but it did cause a media shite show. It appears the origination date, which has caused mass panic by the media and government, is likely incorrect

It’s probably been here for months and didn’t just show up from a few airline passengers from China in February. Millions have probably had it this winter and processed it, and there’s likely been several more deaths from it.

quote:

These deaths now stand as the country's earliest two attributed to the novel coronavirus, a development that appears to shift the understanding of how early the virus was spreading in the country, health experts told CNN Wednesday. Two deaths in Northern California's Santa Clara County happened February 6 and 17, the county said Tuesday in a news release.

quote:

The previously understood first coronavirus death happened on February 29 in Kirkland, Washington. The two in California had no known travel histories to China or anywhere else that would have exposed them to the virus, Dr. Sara Cody, the county's chief medical officer, told The New York Times. They are presumed to have caught the virus through community spread, she told the Times.

So that means the Feb 6 guy caught it in mid-Jan from someone else who had it from early January. They’ll keep doing autopsies and trace it back months.

Also, Boise State furloughed their football coaching staff.


I don't see how these SEC teams with huge budgets aren't going to do something similar or at least see if legally they can cut salaries. Heck, before all this happened our AD instituted a 10% budget cut across all sports programs.

GRanted our least revenue producing teams were the ones that lost any revenue, outside of Basketball and what they lost bc of no SEC or NCAATs.

Anonymous ADs on the ramifications of and whether football should be played this season and if conferences that are without some of its member football teams can/ should play football.

Sick burn quote:

Would the decision to play in the fall change if the schools that couldn’t play were Alabama, Auburn and LSU, compared with Vanderbilt, Tennessee or Missouri?” asked one AD who does not represent an SEC school. “I hope not, but these are unprecedented times.”
