New update:
The plan as of Friday is that they are 100% still on but conference only games. Unless something catastrophic happens between now and 8/1, we are going full steam ahead.

10 game schedule?

Good. The real reality is no one can afford to lose out on both March Madness and CFB money. Would be devastating to athletic programs.
The question is. Are we going to see an increase in games played or just have the eight?
I wouldn't mind seeing 10. I'd love to face Auburn again and Aggies or even Arkansas because we rarely play them. Give me LSU, @ Ole Miss, @ Auburn, and Arky/Aggie

I wonder if any players, coaches or staff will opt out and how those kinds of decisions will be handled by schools, conferences and the NCAA.

Same plan for Season ticket holders that you originally posted about?

This is the whole thing IMO. If we pull the trigger on sending kids back to school (especially 5th grade and below), we might as well go all in everywhere else.
There is a 0% chance of keeping young kids socially seperated, in masks, and washing hands before touching their faces over the course of a school day... let alone an entire school year.
Elementary schools are Petri dishes and every home with school aged children will have every version of socially communicable, flu like diseases by Christmas. Happens every year with the flu, strep, and the general crud. CV-19 will be no different; may be worse given the asymptomatic rate.

That's not true at all, actually. Elementary school kids hardly feel this disease. If you're under 50, this disease is literally less dangerous for you than the flu. If you're under 15, it's significantly less dangerous for you than the flu. If you're old, then this disease is a real risk, way more dangerous than the flu.
The infection fatality rate for Covid is somewhere been .26% and .62% (These are the last two estimates given by the CDC. See it here)
The infection fatality rate of the flu is generally agreed to be about .1%. So, yes, the flu is between 3 and 6 times less deadly than Covid, but that's because Covid is a LOT more deadly in older people, who have made up a massive share of Covid deaths. It does kill some middle aged people, but kids hardly ever feel it.

your point makes zero sense

Thought the same thing then the other day my neighbor made a comment about kids not getting it because they were quarantined right away due to the virtual classrooms and its not like everyone was taking their kids to the grocery store with them. Made me stop and think for a minute lol.
I work in an elementary school and my district is supposed to have all the surveys in from the parents and teachers by july 15th then finalize their plan. My admin told me this morning that she believes we arent starting back in the classroom right away. Just that DeSantis is going to wait until Aug 1 to backtrack on it.
Just in a wait and see mode right now. Personally I am wanting to go back, have ran out of things to build/move around the house.

4) They will be working out how to take temperatures at the gate in mass. Not by hand, but similar to airports where it auto-detects people as they walk by. Think metal detector apparatus.
So 130 universities will get these machines installed in every gate in their stadiums before September 1?
Posted on 7/13/20 at 3:40 pm to 2014cock
Yep, same plan...only thing that has changed is OOC games not being played.

They are leaning towards no restrictions currently. Not end machines being there.
However, they know that by 8/1 they are going to have to make their decision on ALL fronts.

My post was before that data came out. At this point, they have moved past the kids going back because enough counties are giving the option to go to school if the parents allow it.

So I say "YES I'm going" and go to a couple of games and then the season is halted ... what then?? Wonder if they'd give back the money for the games that got shut down?

Same schedule? Meaning UGA/Bama open on 9-19, or are they going to rearrange games?

No way this is true.
We have counties making school online yet we are going to play football? Not saying I don't want it to happen but it just seems counter to everything else happening

I imagine they’re scrambling to do anything to not lose the associated revenue.
