re: Rece Davis - Incumbent on B1G to share this information - why MLB playing? NFL?

Warren is done if the SEC plays this fall.

I think the risk on the field are not the problem, anyone with any COVID-19 symptoms are not going to be on the field. I think the risk is players on campus sneaking out going to the bars to check out the ladies, listening to music, etc getting it there.

Does anyone expect SEC campuses the size of LSU, TENN, Alabama, FLorida, UGA, Texas A&M, all I think 30,000 plus, that these college kids are not going to get together and go out to the local pubs and "social distance" hmmmmmm, I know young men today maybe aren't as alpha as they were when I grew up but hormones are still what they are.

And those kids at B1G schools, with no threat of missing actually game action, will be even more likely to do those things..........and then still get back to together with everyone for workouts and lifts, leading to as much of if not more of the same problems.

It's just silly.

If that's the case, why haven't all high school sports been canceled? I'll tell you why, because unlike in college, waivers were sent home to the parents and the season will continue.

This is a liability issue and nothing more.

I agree, HS football I don't know the differences. One thing I think is the money is not involved. HS football is the last pure amateur sport. High school football is not a billion dollar industry. And if someone gets COVID-19 in HS vs. College, there is no HS football coach making 10 million dollars like Saban, Dabo, etc. College football is a 4 Billion dollar industry by some estimates. Players take the risk, the Universites and coaches make the money.

HS football is pure amateur, nobody is making tons of money off HS football. If someone God forbid dies from Covid-19 playing HS football, I guess they can sue the local school board but how much can they get, where are the deep pockets? who are making money off High School athletes.

And to me, just me, that is the problem college football is in. It uses the veil (i.e. Form) of amateurism like HS football but in substance is a big business like the NFL.

And that is the problem College ball has, in my view.

Thanks Summer. Like I said, there is no more loyal 1)Alabama and 2) SEC football fan here than you. However, you do understand the pros and cons of not playing or playing and the fundamental structural problems that CFB has. Pointing that out gets some people, not you, pissed off, but it doesn't change the facts that there are major structural problems in CFB and I think post COVI-19 things are going to be different.
