The problem right now is that too many people don't give a shit and think that because football makes so much money it's ok to go forward. Meanwhile, you have a number of coaches, players family, etc that would be at risk during this. Of course they are willing to risk it. That's what they do. Doesn't make it right.

And I'll continue to preface this by saying I'm a conservative public school administrator. No one can answer the simple question as to why we are canceling non conference but keeping conference games? Makes zero sense. I predict we come out of this looking really dumb. Up to this point, the south is leading the charge in ignorance on this topic. If college football is as powerful as y'all say it is, what happened today wouldn't have happened. False narrative and overblown statistics done shut down public schools nationally and college football.

I'll say it again. A lot of people are going to be disappointed in a couple months.
Playing the game of football itself is not safe. Statistically, our players are more likely to have to seek medical treatment for a football injury than for covid! How in the world is it unsafe or not logical for them to play due to covid but it is safe and logical for them to play in the first place?

Fans don't have to attend.

Cancelling noncon is about controlling travel, schedule flexibility, and testing.

The south? Uh, have you totally blacked out on NY handling of this. Cuomo (whom I like) made the worst decision of any governor when he decided positive patients would remain in nursing homes while hospitals were empty. That was the driver of deaths in NY, which has 30 times our death count and only 6.5 times our population. Tate (whom I don't like) ain't perfect, but he's running circles around Cuomo.
