Message: [QUOTE="Jimdish255, post: 3622644, member: 137"] Playing any sport has major implications upon more than just the athletes involved. Especially in football the numbers and large support staff make it difficult to implement procedures that account for the unknown. But in football as well as the other sports, if we're focusing on the health and safety of the athletes, it's foolish to assume they will be safer out of the bubble's strict rules and with extra time on their hands. They are social kids who will find a way to interact together. This doesn't really give guidance as to what to do. That ends up being a tug of war between conference leadership, network execs, donors and risk managers. I do think basketball with all teams adhering to a consistent protocol could manage it safely but there is no 100% on either side of the fence. [/QUOTE]
