Where is the concern for students who don't play sports?

Colleges planning for a Fall football season will go to great lengths to protect the health of players. The other students, who face the same risk, are on their own. No one seem the least bit concerned for their welfare and no one is raising this point.

Right, if there was a legitimate concern they would cut everything off at the source and have remote learning for a year. It doesn't make sense on the one hand to have classes, but on the other hand not have sports. It's completely illogical.

Don't need billion dollar campuses and high tuition to learn on line...

Students are being offered free, asymptomatic testing. What should be provided that athletes are getting, but normal students are not?

The players have added incentive to remain healthy. I doubt that Normal students will be tested as frequently as players are. Player tests will be mandatory. Other students probably won't seek tests unless they have symptoms.
I'm not arguing that players are going to be safe. I don't think that any students attending in-person classes are going to be safe. I hope that I'm wrong.

All sanity has gone out the window for the remainder of the year.
The whole world needs a ~4 month timeout and we should regroup at the start of 2021 and see if we’ve all figured out (on all sides) how to pull our collective head out of our arse.
I’d eat fat girl arse in the flooded back bathroom at Flan’s to reset this year back to a “normal” year.

What risk? Getting hit by a car walking to class?
Alcohol poisoning?
frick did he have a few students get shot And kidnapped on campus over the last decade?
Maybe a student athlete on a moped will injure them?

But isn't that THEIR choice, though? UGA is making it available They can't follow 40,000 kids around making them do it.

You'd have done that anyway.

Just like it's the players' choice.
I was countering the notion that players under a protocol are not safer than average students.
Players have better COVID protection than average students. The percentage of infected normal students has been significantly higher than the percentage of infected players. That much has been proved.

I got ya. We’re in agreement on that.

Students shouldn't be afraid to go to class and if they are then they can elect to follow other options. Concern for football is because big $$ - big attention follows big $$.
At the end of the day you're looking at a virus that spreads like the devil but isn't all that bad. Take a step back and look at the big picture, 50+ million tests completed, 130k+ deaths and yet it's not end of times. we've been in this since March and no, it's not getting better but it's also not that bad. hospitals aren't getting overcrowded, people aren't dying on the streets and the virus lethality falls to less than 2% to those below 70yo. NY/NJ/MI had 60k of the 130k deaths alone, imagine cuomo not being a frickstick and the US would be dominating the virus response.

Yes, take every precaution to limit the spread of Covid but I go to the gym everyday and watch classes of dudes doing Jiu-Jitsu everyday and no one seems to be getting sick. Sweaty guys wrestling and breathing all over each other.
The NCAA is overreacting to this, the SEC is going to come out looking good.

The sec will overreact in time.

Not just in this thread, but others, I love seeing all the shut-downers coming to the defense of football and they aren't even using mental gymnastics to do it, just good old fashioned hypocrisy.

Do you expect the sec to make the right decision here?

If it's safe enough for students to congregate in classrooms then it's safe enough to play football.
If it's not safe enough to play football then it's not safe enough for students to congregate in classrooms.
I'm simply arguing for consistency. If students are allowed to congregate in class it's hypocritical to cancel football.

Dumb idea. Ugh. Haven't we learned anything? If you want to mandate masks, fine. Ordering people to stay home just fricks up lives and makes everything worse.
