I hate to put a monetary value on this football season but if the SEC gives the NCAA the finger and is the only conference that plays, the money from the TV ratings and the additional exposure will create an even larger talent gap.
Nope
The SECs Money is locked in by contract, OTOH, The TV Network can claim exclusivity and then hike the Ad Rates on any unsold TV slots
The SEC would be avoiding losing TV Dollars, but the TV Networks would have the chance to Cash in by raising Ad Rates on the only Game in town

Not sure those numbers are accurate. As of 9 August, 162,000 deaths and 5 million confirmed cases. This thing has not slowed down during the summer at all with 90 to 100 degree temperatures. What is going to happen in the fall? which is the normal flu season (This ain't like normal flu).
People get tied to the data on COVID-19, but what about the strain on other services that Hospitals provide. How many surgeries and people with blood pressure, diabetes, heart issues had delays in getting medical care and those people died via heart attack, stroke.
The Medical experts still don't know what are the residual effects from this disease?
The latest estimates, based on the the trends we have now, suggest 300,000 deaths by year's end.
So I am no speaking for anyone other than me but I have already opted out for the 2020 season and asked for a credit for what I paid this year to be applied to next years football season.

The numbers aren't accurate and they never will be. The death toll will be the only numbers that are close to accurate.
Example.....If I test positive today, that is one positive case. If I go back in ten days and test positive again, that is another positive test. One person but it registers as two positive cases.

The numbers I use are deaths. Not many folks dying of Covid more than once.

It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods.
ETA deaths have subsided and they will continue to decline as the medical experts get more of a grasp on how to treat it. Nonetheless, that is still a substantial amount of deaths per week because of a virus.

When you consider only deaths caused by the virus, it’s only 3% of all deaths, average age 77.
Not really that impactful considering life expectancy 78 years 10 months.

where the hell are you getting your numbers? quote:
Globally, as of 2:46pm CEST, 9 August 2020, there have been 19,462,112 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 722,285 deaths, reported to WHO.
so you are saying 722,285 is only 3% of all deaths in this time period of the pandemic?

Bysurpassing 116,000, Covid-19 deaths in the United States have now officially exceeded the number of total deaths from flu outbreaks or any other infectious disease outbreak in a single year or season since the 1918–19 influenza pandemic. And the Covid-19 death toll has also now exceeded the total number of Americans killed in WWI.

Already, the pandemic had surpassed the combined U.S. deaths from the entire Vietnam and Korean wars, on both total numbers and per capita

This reaction to a virus that is 99% non lethal is a sad evidence of the pussification of America.
They played football in 1918 amidst the scariest pandemic in recorded history. Its fatality rate is estimated to have been as high as 20% and its main target was people 20-40 years old.
COVID-19 is nothing like that flu strain yet we’ve taken draconian measures to “contain” it, which is ridiculous when you consider how infectious it is and who its main target is. Measures to protect those most vulnerable should have been the main reaction to the virus, not shutting the world down.

I don’t think there is any significant number of people claiming that it’s nothing.
What the argument is is what does cancelling college football significantly accomplish anything and what it does accomplish does it justify the significant deleterious affects to both players and the communities. The frustration is that we have countless articles on the bad things that can come from the virus but there is little to none about the bad side of shutting down.
LSU had a Significant amount of players test positive prior to resuming anything. These kids are still going to school they are still socializing they are still going home etc. the exposure is present just by living.
With playing they get the best of the best in terms of screening. They get the best of the best in terms of nutrition which is a form of preventative care. They get to increase exposure for their future career. Local businesses stay alive with revenue. If football doesn’t go then there is a domino with other sports programs not just cancelling the season but the entire program.

This is what concerns me . There has been a lot of talk of no fans at games, tailgates etc. if there are no fans it doesn’t matter if they play or not really other than selfish reasons bc local businesses are going to struggle or go under

Those numbers aren’t even remotely accurate that you are posting. The US has averaged nearly 1k deaths per day during the last three weeks.

What an asinine juxtaposition, the US presence in Korea or Vietnam was never large, especially as a percentage of national population. You people have no clue about statistics or really just common sense

You link something called ‘WorldometerInfo’
I’m interested in the United States, and am using the vetted, provisional numbers from Centers for Disease Control. We’d have to go back to May 10 to see averages of 1000 per day
