Yes, because when you know who is coming or going that keeps them from contracting Covid when they are outside of the bubble. My bad I forgot that is how successful businesses are operating these days...

I think crotchless would be the preferred option for some. Doesn’t restrict that breathing.

No but the workers that bring that food in can potentially infect someone unknowingly. It is not a zero possibility Chuck. But I find it hilarious of all things going on in the world that is what bothers you.

Do you think they are growing their own food and building their own supplies? It’s definitely lower in the bubble, but like most of your arguments it’s not black and white, or no risk and huge risk. Especially down in Florida.

I will be old right there with you if that’s what cool is these days.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully she makes a turn for the better quickly.

Hey guys, a coworker I am close with, her husband just died from Covid. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Before anyone asks, 60 with no underlying health problems prior. I don’t want anyone responding with political bias/nonsense. It really wouldn’t help.

I don’t disagree with this angle. Would love to hear why the medical personnel voted this way. But telling your 18-22 to do something is what I responded to. I don’t know how much luck you have had with it, but it just doesn’t happen for me.

Is his son not an adult? I think this is the wrong decision, but I don’t see how he forces his son to do anything. Let alone will I judge him for that.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29653050/nebraska-ends-talk-playing-big-ten Well so much for puffing their chests out. Can’t wait to see something similar for Kansas when it comes to their lawsuit threats against the NCAA.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/big-ten-commissioner-kevin-warren-lashes-out-at-nebraska-after-critical-statements-023133028.html Well Nebraska isn’t playing anywhere in the fall.

Can they do that if they don’t provide the same bubble for women’s sports too? I just don’t see them putting that level of money into this with how much they are losing out on.

Well I am guessing if they start going by calendar year that’s going to mean no basketball before January. ****!

It’s sucks, but can’t say I am surprised. I am just disappointed that it is ok for 40,000 people to be on campus, but not ok for 150 or so people with players and staff in a semi controlled environment.

I will give him this. If he really gave his kid that at this level he has balls. Those Russian winters and vodka really harden them I guess.

I don’t disagree at all. But you would think with 40,000 people on campus it would be easier to find a liability issue than on the football field. I know the heart issue is what is creating pause, but if a football player is getting it now he is definitely getting it when constantly grouped with that large of student body. Guessing most football players aren’t taking many classes in the fall. In their spare time with no season, I am sure they would just hang out. I know I would at that age. To me it’s riskier to not have a season.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nick-saban-the-argument-should-be-we-shouldnt-be-having-school-not-we-shouldnt-be-playing-football-213436999.html Agree with Saban here. This is getting out of hand at some levels.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29633697/heart-condition-linked-covid-19-fuels-power-5-concern-season-viability So it’s the liability with the heart issues associated with Covid. Which we had a mom on Facebook speaking about this. I can see both sides of this, but if this is the concern I think they are more likely to catch it being out and about in a non structured schedule imo. But I get it. Every football team has over 100 in staff and players. Probably the toughest sport to work in this environment. We will see either way. It either puts me out of my misery of thinking we could finally win a bowl game 4 months early or I get football on Saturdays.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29634231/scott-frost-says-nebraska-prepared-look-all-options-including-playing-big-ten Man we need popcorn for all of the twists and turns in this one.

Starting to wonder if they had an informal polling to see where everyone stood on the Sunday call. With all of the contracts I think they would have to be somewhat careful on unilateral decisions. I don’t believe the networks would do this since football makes so much money, but I would have to think at some point there would be contract disputes with no season.

That’s pretty fair and I actually agree with you. I am positive it’s far more than can we protect our kids better this way or that way. I am sure it came down to 1. Money Associated with the virus versus what they will truly bring in. 2. PR 3. Liability if someone were to die 4. Overall safety. Probably in that order. I know players have been told there will be consequences to attending risky situations to this point. But much like mask wearing it is just a mandate. Since they can’t control more than what they can, let’s just hope we have basketball. On the flip side if they moved this to the spring I hope we can hang with a 40 man OSU roster.
