Turn off the fear porn. Football is going to happen more likely than not.
You think the NCAA and it’s member institutions wants their entire athletic programs gutted? There is extreme motivation to play.
Unless COVID morphs into something that actually harms young people they’ll find a way to play.
Im not fear anything. Just using good judgement. Right now they are allowed to have a very few players together to do basic stuff. No "football" stuff. Players are being tested and more and more of them are testing positive. I find it hard to believe we are gong to get from where we are right now to full contact, players sweating, spitting and banging into each other in 8 weeks.
Not fear mongering. Just watching what is going on with College and High School football here in the state of Georgia.
I hope I am wrong but I dont see it happening.

I don’t disagree. Out state medical guy put it pretty well today.

Just hours before, the highest number of coronavirus cases in a single day were announced. Over 600 cases confirmed, with 11 new deaths.

Mississippi hospitals are also reporting the highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations since April.

In some of these areas they were even successful in the counties where they’ve had real bad problems. They were able to embrace more strict social distancing and the masks. They’ve had improved transmission. It’s worked. But if you don’t have a critical massive buy-in of local leaders and of the community it’s going to be doomed to fail.” Dobbs continued by saying wearing a mask is not about personal rights but about being selfless and caring for your family and the community at large. When asked if we could expect wearing masks into the September or October he said that yes we should be. Dr. Dobbs said he is extremely worried for the fall. He believes that it will be much worse than the current situation. They are currently preparing in case the hospitals are overwhelmed.

I’m with you. It seems completely obvious.
Some people are so emotionally invested in football it blinds them.

We've gone from don't leave your house three months ago to restaurants operating at over 50% capacity throughout the South today. Not to mention retail outlets and just about anywhere else being fully open.
The MLB is gonna play in a month, the NBA plans to conclude their already started season, the NFL has absolutely shown zero fricks for the coronavirus.
But what are you reading that they aren't?
