Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3661771, member: 5798"] I'm not "piling" on the students. I'm merely commenting on factual occurrences that are being reported in the news on campuses across the country. I'm not making these numbers up. I agree that the adults should serve as role models to the younger generation, but they aren't and they won't. I'm really not concerned about the adults, only the kids on these campuses. Their actions may very well determine the future of any and all athletic activity on their campus and in their conference. I also understand that many of them are more interested in "socializing" than being concerned about whether or not their school engages in any intercollegiate athletic competition this school year. Jonathan, we're looking at this through different prisms. I'm calling a spade a spade. It is what it is. I don't have an ax to grind here. These kids are young adults, 18 and over. They are old enough to make responsible decisions. Whether or not they make good decisions remains to be seen. Some of them will, some of them won't. NOW is a real good time to start!! Kids their age are dying too, we just don't hear about it. A 20 year old kid in small town Kansas or Texas that dies from the virus is not going to make the 6:00 o'clock news. He/she will just be a number, a statistic. I don't expect any of them to behave or think like a 40-50 year old. Just act responsibly, and remember why their parents are sending them to school, and paying those high tuition fees. I'm one of those people that believe that [U]everyone[/U] should be responsible and accountable for the decisions they make. No mulligans. I'm just reacting to what I'm seeing. I have no problem with bar owners trying to make a living. But........we're in the grip of a world-wide pandemic that has claimed thousands of lives, and will claim thousands more until a vaccine is developed. One would think until a vaccine is found, they would respect the virus and its side effects, and conduct themselves accordingly. I just saw on the news yesterday that a person that had contracted the virus once and was treated and cleared, has contracted it again. If it happened to one person, it can happen to others. This virus IS NOT a respecter of persons. [/QUOTE]
