So the P5 conferences work like crazy for conference only season, only a week later to back out...while covid cases decrease. Makes sense
Will they cut Their salaries to help offset the lost revenue?

Lol at Einstein again.
This past NFL Draft had 16,380 NCAA players that were draft eligible (juniors and seniors) for the NFL/CFL. Out of that number, a WHOPPING 254 players were drafted...a total of 1.6%. If you then figure another 100 players are signed as free agents, that brings the total to 354 players out of 16,380 that will move on to play in the NFL/CFL. That then brings the percentage to 2.2% (354 out of 16,380).
So, you are saying that VERY FEW out of 16,026 players whose athletic careers will end after playing their final college games will choose to sit out?
Dumbass keeps dumbassing....

All they were doing is going through the motions, like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The Pac-12 and Big 10 would have cancelled months ago except they knew all their players would transfer. As soon as that is not a big issue, CFB will be sunk.

I’m to the point where I say just have it from the start of February to the end of April. Not sure how that would work with the NFL combine but at least the season is over before the draft, gets you 10 games plus 2 bye weeks. Then just delay the next season until October so players have 5 months of rest.
The best players may not play but it’s better than nothing.

Mississippi was just on national news Thursday with the highest per capita rate in the nation and the largest hospital needing 14 ICU beds . Not here to argue but when the governor and every official in the state talking about cases spiking , I will go along with what they say

I just wish we could get real numbers. When people die of the flu, they usually say they don't die of the flu, but the die from something else. On the opposite end, if people die from something else, they say it's covid-19. I know this is more dangerous than the flu, but really only to a certain group of the population. Hell, I heard a report on the radio the other day that 300 Gwinnett County teachers were out sick or in quarantine, but that only 5 actually tested positive. The national news that night said that 295 tested positive for the virus. The media is gonna be the thing that does this country in. They no longer have to verify anything they say is true. I wear my mask because I want the workers at the grocery store to feel more comfortable with people around, I don't wear it for my own protection. I am glad to do it and if it helps, it helps

It’s ridiculous. Most people will get this regardless of what decisions they make.
You are likely correct here. Most people are going to get this at some point in their life. The point of taking all precautions now to slowit down is to keep everyone from getting it all at once and overwhelming hospitals thus causing even more deaths from not only this virus but other non Covid related issues that would need hospitalization as well. Look at it like this. Hospitals treat an average number of heart attacks, car wreck injuries, gun shots, strokes, etc, etc throughout the year. Those numbers generally stay about the same throughout the year. Meaning you rarely get a huge influx of any of them in an emergency room but you always have some. Now throw in hundreds of Covid patients into that all at once. All of a sudden your emergency room beds are full with Covid patients as well as all those other things. Now you have to start turning away bothcovid patients as well as all those other things because you simply have no more room. Now you have patients who would normally be treated and likely survive those things not being treated properly or at all due to an overwhelmed system. Now you have even more deaths some from Covid and some from heart attacks, strokes, gun shots, car wrecks, etc etc...
Not to mention that this is a novel virus. The longer you can go without getting it, the better your chances of surviving it will be due to the fact that we will learn more about it. What works, what doesn’t work in treating it.

Plus if players get it away from the field then the athletic department isn’t liable for anything that happens because of it.
I think players are safer actually playing but I get why schools want to be cautious. They’ll frame it as a player safety reason but the real reason is to cover their arse.

That simply mirrors the drop in testing.

I'm honestly not sad after seeing players, coaches and schools show their asses consistently in the past few months. Maybe this is what the sport needs to rein in all the wokeness
I am more sad that PeeJayScammedGT will be on here a lot more and I am afraid it might get shut down due to PeeJayScammedGT continual posting that get other posters frustrated and then this site gets shut down!

With Trumpf in the WH telling the American People that this thing is "gonna go away and disappear" and that wearing Masks is an issue of "personal freedoms" rather than saving lives and trying to control a Pandemic, what opportunity we had months ago to control this thing and save the CFB Season might have been lost, and now this weekend with those 250K assholes assembling in Sturgis SD, cause they wanna display "muh freedoms", we'll never get on top of this virus Assholes and their "muh freedoms" is why CFB is at risk, we're losing CFB due Trumpf and his idiot "base" All you a-hole Trumpf apologists, the situation we find ourselves in WRT CFB is all your fault, half of those 163K dead that's your fault also, maybe overly dramatic, but if the a-hole in the WH knew early on that his "base" was upset at the way he was handling the Pandemic, then he might have made better decisions and we'd have only 81.5K dead instead of 163K dead I wonder what Trumpf voters feel when they look at themselves in the mirror, knowing how much damage they did to this great Country of ours by putting that clown in the WH
Too bad you're not as smart as you think you are.

I do see some correlation with the testing numbers dropping lately(for the first time ever).
But the amount of testing is still very high, 795k a day at it's peak, down to only 750k a day recently. And the positive % rate has dropped down also, so I'm not sold on it being a mirror to the drop in testing.

I was just looking at what the data showed. The spike in cases ended about a week ago.
The spike in deaths is not over yet for Mississippi. I expect it will start to decline next week.

You may be right IDK. Hope so. Just can’t see anybody going down much with colleges and schools about to open . Seems like testing would be going up since colleges require it. Maybe that will show in a week or two bc I don’t know how often that shite (data) is updated . Not a data guy . CBS and Dr Dobbs ( State Health Officer ) and even governor Reeves have been gloom and doom last few days
