Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3629886, member: 833"] The P5 conferences are engaging in dangerous and magical thinking. The entire fall plan is built around their conference TV contracts, not player or coach safety. I don't know the negligence statutes in every state, but if they are like Connecticut, there is no waiver for negligence. Which means, any player or coach that gets seriously ill or dies can sue the school and the individual AD's and presidents for negligence, and a schedule that takes no steps to protect the players could be all that is needed to win the case. It could also provide enough of a window for the schools' liability insurers to deny coverage. Also not clear if the state universities have to indemnify the ADs or Presidents if they do something that violates recommended state health or CDC policy. [/QUOTE]
