They are getting tested regularly, being isolated, and receiving the very best care if they do get the virus. The same can't be said when a lot of these kids go back home. We saw how many contracted Covid at home, once they came back from summer break, and the same will happen if season is cancelled or postponed. Truth is, the players are probably safest were they are right now(as a whole).PurpleOnWhite wrote: ↑August 10th, 2020, 8:53 pmWhat environment will these young men be returning to if CFB is called off? I’d argue that many, if not most, would be safer under the controlled environment offered by CFB. There is no easy answer. Anyone who contracts Covid is at significant risk, wherever that may be.
The biggest problem is liability right now. With all the resources the conferences have, there is surely a way around this that works for everybody.
look, never let the hype, man, get in the way of intelligent approach. one cogent argument for resuming school is that nutritional programs, 'other eyes' n those who may be at risk for domestic violence, etc is better supported with school IN session. that college athletes have access to in some cases better healthcare, nutrition and monitoring while IN school and ON campus? that going to factor in at all?
if schools decide not to play, that's a decision we need to accept. but those athletes, students still need to be on campus...although, most won't want to because 'parties' are likely a casualty of this as well.
