The ACC and SEC athletic conferences — which have Clemson and South Carolina, respectively, as members — are going ahead with plans to play college football this fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a bad idea.

quote:

? Only two major sports have been able to play games without being forced to cancel some due to positive COVID-19 tests — and that’s because they’re competing in bio-secure bubbles.

? A 2020 college football season won’t be a truly legitimate one — not when two major conferences, the Big 10 and PAC-12, have wisely decided to postpone play until next spring.

quote:

Indeed even legendary former Clemson head coach Danny Ford recently suggested that any national champion crowned during a fall 2020 season will have an “asterisk” next to its accomplishment.

If it’s not possible to have all of the best teams playing in a competition, there’s little point in carrying out a hollow shell of season full of “Yeah ... but” results and debates.

I don't think it's too much hyperbole to say that all that did was basically knock one contender - Ohio St. - out of the running.

I see what you did there, Old Danny must've forgotten his asterisk.

You know why. And it ain't got a damn thing to do about sports or safety.
