moyemayhem Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Interesting article on which basketball/football coaches have taken pay cuts at power 5 schools, and which haven't (yet). For the record, it appears both Archie Miller and Tom Allen have taken a pay cut, and I commend them for it. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/29468590/some-not-all-coaches-share-colleges-burden-amid-coronavirus-pandemic HoosierAloha and mamasa 2 Quote

Don't see that too often. Archie Miller deserves a pay cut the way his first 3 seasons have gone. Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote

Aaron Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 What I don't understand is why start workouts if a few positive tests are going to stop it? I don't have a good answer here or know what the right answer is, but if six positive tests is going to stop workouts no reason to start them. Either you have to accept there are going to be a decent amount of positives and isolate those who get it or don't do sports this fall (and by extension in person classes). Don't start up and then stop it with six positives as that looks extremely naive. Which way to go I don't know, but schools need to decide how many positive tests they are OK with and if its no more than six, don't bother starting as you are going to have many more than that.

Imagine there was no fixed number because if they had 6 positive tests but the country was still on a good trend they would have continued and hope to only have a few more. But with 6 tests and things getting worse that 6 could turn into 30 pretty quick. Quote

No reason to start if single digit positive tests will shut it all down as literally every school is going to have them and its a waste of everyone's time to even attempt then.

What I am saying is that if we had some positive tests but things were generally getting better they probably wouldn’t have shut it down. But with things getting worse and positive tests there’s really no choice. People not wearing masks is going to cost us sports till 2021. Ugh DChoosier 1 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted July 20, 2020 Author Posted July 20, 2020 A form of in-state civil war brewing in California. This morning the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced it was moving the fall, winter and spring sports calendars back to two seasons — fall and spring — to begin in early 2021. Moments after the CIF announcement, the Northern Section released its own plan to play fall sports, including football, as close to the regular calendar as possible. Northern Commissioner Kyle said the northern section is the largest in terms of geographic size, has perhaps the most two- or three-sport athletes, as well as two-sport coaches given the number of small schools. There are 73 schools in the section, which stretches from the Oregon border to Sutter County and from the Nevada state line to Trinity County. Quote

I read up on it and it seems like California plays a very late fall season -- fall competition is set to start October 16th, which means that fall sports would have to start practice by October 1st. Could likely be a move by the Northern part to keep the seasons separate IF the covid numbers are okay in the North. Sounds like the North is comprised of mostly small schools. https://www.chicoer.com/2020/07/20/cif-postpones-fall-sports-due-to-coronavirus-northern-section-moves-ahead-with-different-timeline/ Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote
