The only kids I feel sorry for are the ones who are vaccinated. Their unvaccinated teammates let them down.
When Jon Rahm the golfer was disqualified before the final round of a tournament while holding a SIX shot lead, I felt badly for his situation, but I didn't feel sorry for him because he DID have a choice. The NC St. kids that were vaccinated, but still couldn't play, deserve the pity and they WERE let down by their teammates.

Profit only? and if someone had a 1 in 5 chance of dying? sure you make a good point.
I don't know about you but not everything I do has anything to do with making some kind of a profit. My life is more varied than that. Also, we're talking at best for a 50 year old man who is out of shape still only having a 1% chance of dying from Covid. That doesn't sound like the Bubonic Plague much less the Spanish Flu and not really what I would call a deadly pandemic. No more deadly really than a regular flu.

Yep, definitely need to force everyone to get the vaccine or face the consequences!

It's actually more deadly than regular flu.
It's not the 6% death rate we saw early on in Italy, but it's clearly more transmissible and deadlier than our common strains of flu. The numbers are clear. If you don't believe the numbers cut them in half and it's still more transmissible and deadlier.
The info about NC State mishandling the medical side of this has made me less sympathetic.

Holy Exaggeration
The NCAA thinking it can appease the window-lickers by booting out one of those teams while ensuring the money flows uninterrupted is equally disgusting.

exactly how deadly is this "pandemic" for 18-22 year olds?

You're making my point. Either you have a highly-contagious deadly virus that requires EVERYONE to wear masks and get vaccinated...TWICE.
Or, you have a hoax that doesn't require masks...OR VACCINATION.
If it's the latter, then NC State is allowed to continue to play at full strength (minus any sick players) and the issue of vaccination is moot.
You can't have it both ways.

Did you feel the same for OSU when they had to sit many starters for the same?

This entire hoax has gone too far. If you have a highly-contagious deadly virus that requires TWO vaccinations and endless mask-wearing, then if an outbreak occurs, you can't just excuse one team and simply carry on with the others, who have used the same facilities all week, as if nothing happened.
It's one or the other. You can't have it both ways.

It's hovering around 1/10 of 1%. The concern with the spread among that age group is two-fold. 1) Younger people have been the drivers of transmission since July of 2020 leading too many other deaths. 2) As with any virus the potential for mutation could make the virus more dangerous. The less transmission the lower the concern.
The kicker to all the info is understanding while 1/10 of 1% is low if you project that percentage on the population group how many deaths would that account for? In the US that's roughly 22 million people. So it's roughly a potential for 22,000 mortalities.
To be clear I don't believe it's going to lead to 22k deaths in that age group but it is dismissive to act as if people aren't dying. We are all apart of this together.

BUT the rules are dumb as shite. IF it was about health and safety, 20,000+ fans would have had to be tested ... I mean why would you test players and not everyone??

I read this perspective several times lately. The NCAA's responsibility to the athletes/schools is different from a libel perspective than for fans who have paid entry to an event. The moral responsibility might be the same. The NCAA is only looking out for themselves in this and the libel issue for the players/teams/schools is much higher.

correct for the entire country. It's actually 1.7% right now.
I asked about 18-22 year olds. Current statistics suggest this number is less than 0.2%. So what the F are we doing!? The team may have the same likelihood of dyeing on their travels to Omaha.

I provided the data for 18-22. 1/10 of 1%
If the entire country is at 1.7% then that projects to like 3 million dead. That's why they are trying to take precautions.
Steering it back to the NC State scenario...you can't just let them play right now the virus has enough potential negatives you have to address it. IMO it won't always be this way but for now it is what it is and its already way better than it was.
