You're going too deep. All those league are self sustaining leagues that rely on revenue. College athletic departments also rely on revenue from...college football.

Colleges also have the advantage of having all of the players living on campus where they can be monitored 24 hours a day as well as around the clock health care. They can also be quarantined easier and that will have 24 hour monitoring as well.

Ok Karen.
Don't you have some looting to do tonight?

The issue will be when the first player dies. Someone will already have underlying health issues and the COVID will exaggerate that. Once a player dies or is seriously ill with COVID, I don’t see the schools playing sports at all.
I agree 100% that their age group is the most resistant to the virus but those pre-existing conditions worry me. Optics would be terrible.

Kentucky was setting up for a special season too. We truly are cursed.

If you think a virus that kills virtually no one in the age bracket of the contestants of a football game is going to prevent the season from happening you are too stupid to have a conversation with. Mark whatever you want.
an even lower risk group
they want to shut football down, the question is whether they will be successful or not
I tend to think we will see games in some capacity, but the idea that it may be shutdown is not stupid or ridiculous at all

College sports aren’t the same as professional sports.
And while we here in the SEC enjoy tons of TV and sponsorship revenue, this isn’t the same story at every school in every conference.
None of what is happening occurs within a vacuum. Teams have coaches, aides, physicians, support staff, etc, many of whom are in “at risk” categories. The message can not be a simple “if you feel you are at risk, just quit your job.” What if the players feel they are at risk? Can they just quit? Most college football coaches and personnel don’t make millions. The vast majority aren’t multi-millionaires who have the luxury of just quitting with no other options available.
Note what is happening in golf, for example. Probably the most socially distant sport you can imagine. And even then...players and caddies are dropping out of events due to positive tests. And these are guys that make millions off the course.
On top of all of this - the supposed argument appears to be that there is a tiny chance of even being infected, much less dying. But the same people arguing it seem to still support testing and quarantining and such. Why? It’s either a threat/concern or it isn’t. If it doesn’t matter if these kids get it, why do we need to quarantine them? Why do we need to take any precautions whatsoever for this age group?
Because, society doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We can’t tell all the old people just to stay in their homes for the foreseeable future just because we want to see football. That’s not how it works.

What are you talking about?

He’s talking about how college football won’t have a season in 2020 and I tend to agree with him because I am not a mouth breathing idiot

Mark Emmert and Greg Sankey disagree.
quote:
“I certainly think that sitting here today, there will be football in the fall,” NCAA president Mark Emmert told The Athletic on Wednesday.
quote:
“We’re going to have to learn to live with COVID,” Sankey said on Rich Eisen's radio show. “That doesn’t mean we’re going to make rash or inappropriate decisions. We’re going to involve our medical leaders, those who work in infectious disease, to help guide us. That is what will inform the decision.”

I very rarely read back through an entire thread like this, but this one was awesome. 
Great bump. I still can't understand why so many people were convinced that we would have no football (and constantly tell us about it almost every day in virtually every thread) when the administrators and decision makers were telling us otherwise.

?? Lots of crow to be served on here and it mostly goes to those guys that claim not to be idiots. Peepingcrxxms just whipped it out and smacked you clowns in the face with it and made you like it. Now go get back under the covers and hide with the rest of your fellow corona bros before he decides to give you another helping!!!
