ACC 2020 Schedule: 10+1?

Chestnut Hill...Boston College University announced today that it was updating its motto. The old motto, “Ever to Excel” is being replaced with a new updated version. Effective August 12, the schools motto will ”The only principal that matters is that upon which interest is paid.” For. William Leahy, the school’s president, said that the new, updated motto was intended to reflect the school’s more current values. According to Leahy, “Back in the old days, this institution tried to reflect Catholic social teachings and encourage students to reach for the stars. But, you know, since we get tons of cash for sending our football team to COVID hotspots, and we have no intention of giving up one penny, no matter how risky it is, we decided to change our motto to reflect our true values. This one does it”.

According the a BC spokesperson, other mottos considered included,
Show Me The Money, Anything for a Buck, and We’ve Established What We Are, Now We’re Just Dickering About Price. The latter motto had some support among faculty since it was based on a comment by a famous author, But the spokesman said The Principal one was selected because it sounded best in Latin.

No worries, FSU Fußball vor allem (football above all) and parents questioning coaching and athletic department cover ups never matter. Stay on the FSU storyline:

Potentially up to 1K tests may be available by some undefined date. Results possibly in up to 24 hours.

Enrollment > 40K fluttering about FSU campuses, communities, etc.

After all, it's just the Sunshine State with among the nation's highest SARS-2 infection rates and new 14-day cases.

UNC is going to all online for fall semester. Sending students home for the time being. Since there are no students, doesn’t that mean no football?

Oh it might just implode- elements exist to do just that over the next decade.

Sounds like only the athletes will be on campus. Imagine that. The student body pays for school and stays home while the scholarship Athletes have run of the entire campus.

Have run of the entire campus? The only thing that will be open are their dorms/apartments and the football facility.

Take your word if you have direct contact and that may be the intention. But there's also an awareness of what makes for good public consumption. We'll see.

The Duke doctor and chair of the ACC Medical Advisory Board was right after all. You can mitigate the virus while playing football. He said it would be very difficult and very expensive but it is possible...
 
Seems like multiple schools going Dabo Sweeny on COVid... ie get it now and be done with it (yes this is sarcasm).
 
Schools are bleeding money from loss of room and board fees. If these P5 schools can pull a UNC, they'll try it in a heartbeat. It allows them to collect that sweet paycheck to try and offset some of the damage loss of room and board fees will be. However, I can only imagine how high that must be. At Weslyan, I know that they lost $10 million on Room and Board just from the end of the year last year. That's from a small liberal arts college. I can't imagine what a state school like UNC will lose.
