Spend a day in an Emergency Department break room... you’d wonder how anyone survives just based on conflicting opinions.

We had a guy recently screw up his math badly to announce there are practically no cases of Covid in WNY. I hope the person who questioned the math wasn't fired.

Did you know he’s not even a bot, but a real person that can drive and ambulance to an ER while plugging away at this board? Bots have something to learn yet.

Imagine looking to the B12 for moral and legal guidance.

I don’t see how these other conferences can have a season when everyone that’s canceled is doing it for health and safety reasons. It’s the same disease whether you play in the ACC or the Pac12 or the MAC. They’re just opening themselves up to massive lawsuits the minute someone has a severe case or dies.

The #1 reason for being for schools is academics

It should go without saying.

Not sports.

Academics.

I agree with that. You agree with that. But there a bunch of people who think you should be able to Major in basketball

This has nothing to do with player safety this has to do with politics.

Never heard much else about long term effects hospitalizations or anything else.

Realize HPPA has some teeth but I would think if one of those players had side effects or real follow on health issues we'd have heard about it.

About a month back, I recall reading of > 50 Clemson athletic dept cases; mostly various student-athletes and a few staff members. IIRC, about 1/2 were Clemson football players. Given recent reports of SC's stellar COVID19 containment, reluctance to social distance, wear masks, etc, it may be challenging for more than a few Clemson and USC student-athletes and other students to avoid infection.

My hunch is the Big 12 and ACC will play some games then give it up. SEC will soldier on. I could see 5he ACC splitting with BC, Syracuse forced out by state leaders and maybe a couple of Virginia, Duke and Carolina and NC State ultimately coming to their senses. If one of the NC schools goes out the remainder will follow. My money is on Duke.

I’ll just put this here because I don’t think we need a new thread for either one of these schools; Army gonna ball this fall... let’s see how quarantine goes. Maybe they play on the NYNJ border.

Testing in place for all the student athletes? Or just football players?
Or for all students?

When I didn't think there was a worse take than playing Buddy Boeheim 30+ minutes per game...

It is simultaneously funny and sad there are people using Jim boeheim and Nick Saban's support of playing as a reason to proceed with the season. Jimmy Bones will be 76 years old in November. And due to being in great shape and having a hair stylist who must also be a witch, people forget Saban will be 69 in October. Of course they want the seasons to happen. They are both a lot closer to the end of their careers than the beginning. Who wants to sacrifice a season when you only have a handful left. The fact they are willing to sacrifice very young men to do it tells you all you need to know about them.
