Let’s riot.
Fear precedes more fear. UNMC has been a factor in informing the BIG about risk factors, etc
Do it in Iowa City. Won't take as longI say we march down to the stadium and burn it to the ground. After we steal all the trophies, and then blame somebody else for our actions.
The issue is liability, not the actual logistics of whether you could arguably keep them safer as part of a football team. I think you could, I fully agree the imposed structure is likely their best chance of NOT catching it.Fear precedes more fear. UNMC has been a factor in informing the BIG about risk factors, etc
It's one thing to hypothesize about what risk factors look like and another completely to work through these risk factors in real time, along with testing, etc
I do believe that athletes were in a good position to work within bubbles at their own facilities, get tested, go compete, repeat
It'll be a shame that this will not get the opportunity to get off the ground
Human beings are the ultimate wild card
I work in invasive plant species management
Urban areas have the most disturbance, most vectors, the most variables for spread of these invasive species
Likewise for infectious disease, which is why there is a large disparity between urban and rural Nebraska
Mitigating the vectors for spread of C19 in a college environment, with a trained staff and testing should be attainable in real time despite the risk
It's unfortunate the times we live in dictate an all or nothing approach
The lack of leadership is deeply troubling, 12-2. I think it's the easy way out instead of working through mitigating the risk scenarios of college athletics
Looks like OU and Texas are fighting to keep the B12 from cancelling.
Hmmmmmm
I wonder what the eligibility regulations are regarding players transferring to schools that choose to play?
The B1G does a great job of leading the way in a lot of areas, but if a single conference or two conferences go rogue and play this year we're likely going to see attrition unlike never before. Unfortunately, the teams that do play will be absolutely loaded, like early 2000s USC loaded, because it won't be kids fighting for a roster spot who transfer. The conference likely has already consulted with the NCAA regarding measures to avoid this, but lawyers are very creative.

But given the sheer numbers, a bunch of players will catch it. With the contact inherent to football, if people have it they'll spread it to teammates or opponents. Now it's a situation of "it happened on your watch."
A kid is a lot safer with me as a lifeguard sitting by the public pool than his is in a back yard by himself if he can't swim. But if he starts to drown in my pool instead of his, it becomes my problem.
The apology box is open for all those who felt the only response to me predicting this months ago was furious name calling and thorough questioning of my manhood.
So school presidents are willing to take a guaranteed $78 million loss, based on the potential for liability lawsuits? Why not just let those who want to play sign a liability waiver? How are universities going to survive this revenue loss?
They’ll be stealing current players if they don’t cancelAnother leg up for the SEC in recruiting.
We’re 1994 Penn State, minus SanduskyUndefeated in 2020, yet no natty. Who would have thunk it?
NFL better stay alive.

Holy shit, if the issue is liability, then Football is dead, not just due to the China Virus. Better get use to liking soccer and baseball.
Lately, I’ve been agreeing with a lot of people I normally don’t.
this is awesome. I'm with Coach Harbaugh.
If Moos finds a way to play this fall rename the team, stadium, town and state in his honor.We are going to have one wild-ass schedule this fall. Bet Moos is one busy guy today.

Someone should forward this to the administration and president at Michigan.
