I don't recall Cohen locking in a specific date for the BFTGE on the radio. I know he said not the first game and talked about December 5, but he didn't say December 5 was the confirmed date if I recall correctly.

MLB actually compensates the players currently paying very well and suspends games over one positive test plus has solid quarantine measures in place and enforceable for professional athletes.
Comparing it to 18-22 year olds in college who aren't making hand over fist and losing the extra perks that come along with football stardom, no way in hell does a whole team not expose themself to this virus. Hilariously wishful thinking.

The Marlins flat out broke the quarantine rules and MLB is still going on as well as the Marlins.

And it was costly. While one mLB team violated protocols, every single college football team will have numerous members violate them, if not most of the players.

I'm sure they've been violating the rules for awhile or what would be the rules and the numbers of infections are pretty low among football players and staff.

You obviously never played collegiate athletics. Or probably even high school.

Are you gonna turn us in for positive cases or just send the player home? Or is this not a compliance issue!?

Its not really even a compensation issue. Players are actually safer under the watchful eyes of their college coaches than they are just doing their own thing as this article demonstrates.

The ONLY logical reason for not playing football this Fall is if the college is going to keep students off the campus all Fall anyway and just wants to take away all responsibility on their part. Much greater risk of COVID-19 spreads are going to come from students mixing on and around campus than there would be from players playing football where they will be tested multiple times for week and are under adult supervision. I don't think that can even be debated.

You try to insult me by talking about your own life? I don't get it. You didn't even rebut what I said.
My point is that these dudes aren't gonna give up the extra perks of being BMOC. Every team is gonna have double digit cases of Covid this year.

You are trying to speak from a players point of view when you fail to realize this is all these guys have. They want to play.

No you are trying to speak from a players point of view when YOU fail to realize what all comes along with being a football player / sports celebrity in a small town like Starkville.

They are going to play football. There will be players to test positive. That is the reason for the late start. That is the reason for conference only. They have a plan and I am sure guys smarter than you who has no political ax to grind have put some thought into all this. So give up the ghost. They are going to play and they will play all 10 games. Games might get moved around during the season but that is the reason for conference only schedule. They are expecting players to contract the virus.

I think that is the reason for the late start. We know players are going to get it. And the biggest risk time for them is right about now as the rest of the students arrive. I have seen more than enough footage from Tuscaloosa, Auburn, and Stillwell to know that it's about to EXPLODE on campuses because the students are partying, going to bars, and I am sure hooking up. And I expect many players are doing the same.
So the late start gives them time to get over it before the season.

I think the new two hour, five dollar, at home saliva tests with a 90% accuracy rate is huge help. They were fda approved this weekend. If we can get enough of those we can test daily for 10 weeks.
