Heart says- "Let them play"
Brain says- Too much of a risk (Data suggests the virus has 5.7 RO and the national numbers continue to be troubling everyday)

God you are so stupid but this will be my last post on the subject. The facts simply tell one and only one story: America has handled this in the least effective way possible despite the most resources and most lead time to react. Every other civilized country has done better. Period.

You do realize that we by far have the population with the biggest risk factors and comorbidities for covid such as obesity and diabetes yet we are still below multiple European countries in deaths per million? And this is also considering around 40 percent of the deaths are from NY and NJ whose governor's did an awful job of protecting nursing homes.
 
Apparently fox has not updated their denialist talking points since March. Please go on, I’d like to hear how the summer heat will burn it all off.

Oh, so the US is doing a good job with the pandemic. Cool, cool.
 
They sacrificed grandma for the worst economic quarter drop ever. Now they want to sacrifice our children and young adults. Denialist death cult.
 
Number of European countries with more deaths per million a crazy 5, not a big list there considering the number of countries in Europe. Number of new cases in the last week 4,360; 6,496; 27,204; 1,957; 2,910. Number of cases in the United States in the past week 367,734. Must be all that testing we do, best testing in the world, bigly testing, only sometimes takes a week or more to get those results back. Number of deaths in those 5 countries in the last week 33, 275, 38, 6, 44. Number of deaths in the United States 7,450, must be that amazing job we are doing in comparison to our European peers. Its like some people live in an alternate reality, the leadership failed miserably, especially at the very top, and in the end our country as a supposed shiny city on the hill for the rest of the world is an absolute joke when it comes to the pandemic.

The US currently has the 8th highest death rate in the world, and our deaths are continuing at a rate higher than four countries ahead of us (Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK). In addition, those countries have a higher average age than the US, and age is the top risk factor for COVID death. The US is in a horrible place right now.
 
NCAA is canceling all fall sports championships. FBS not included since they don't have jurisdiction.

Now the question is whether or not the P5 conferences break off from the NCAA and do their own thing this fall, and forever.

Wake/ACC has to play its other fall sports in the spring to play for championships. Otherwise, they are merely cover for football.

Which is going to lead to a lot of athletes asking for redshirt years if they play their sport in the fall and therefore can't win the trophy. I've already heard that the best women's field hockey player in the nation by far (Erin Matson) who plays at UNC has asked for a redshirt - because she wants to win 4 national championships. She's a senior, and they have already won her first 3 years. There is no next level to go to in women's field hockey, really. SO this is it for her, her last chance and she wants all 4. I really don't blame her one bit. And UNC can't grant the redshirt because of the can of worms that opens up. If they do it for her, what about all the other athletes that decide they would rather wait and ask for a redshirt? Can't do it. This is all so crazy. One domino effect after the other.

The lack of leadership from the NCAA is appalling. It’s clear they can only be trusted to cash checks and keep athletes from getting paid.

The legacy of this crisis will be the gaps between those who did step up to the challenge and those who did not.
 
Mark Emmert appears to be ready to do everything in his power to make sure March Madness happens in 2021. Nevermind that the basketball season is supposed to start in 13 weeks and nobody's even talking about that. The NCAA needs that money.
