Spring football, here we come! Should have just planned for that weeks ago.
one problem with that. Then what happens in the fall of 2021? No football again? You can't sandwich seasons that close, players need recovery time. Do we then wait til fall of 2022? When you start moving seasons around, there are too many other confounding factors.
FYI, there have been a grand total of 225 C-19 deaths between the age of 15-24. (assuming those were all really C-19 deaths). 225 out of approximately 20 Million. That doesn't even move the needle statistically. Those are numbers, not an opinion or viewpoint.

Did you look up the numbers of 15-24 year olds and I would say 18-24 year olds who are having health complications after being infected? I haven't looked up those numbers but I have read about them, such as, vascular, breathing and lung issues, kidney, etc. Some people do not get sick, some get a little sick, some get sick with long lingering after effects, some die. And we do not know if some who are infected but have no symptoms or hardly get sick might have it hit them later like shingles virus many years after having chicken pox.
I can understand upper classmen and seniors sitting out.
And when you put in parens "assuming those were all really C-19 deaths" then you are stating opinion, viewpoints, and even more about your thinking on this topic.
Talking last night to someone who works in the funeral industry confirmed my suspicion the COVID-19 numbers are a sham. He sees the death certificates; also has a sister who’s a hospital nurse. Young man killed instantly in a motorcycle crash who tests positive for the virus = COVID death. Middle aged overweight person who suffers a fatal heart attack and tests positive despite no symptoms = COVID death. The counting of CV-19 cases is a joke.Incorrect. No data set is perfect or beyond question. There are always errors of some kind. Someone could assert the CDC data I used was undercounted or overcounted (both have been claimed). I'm inferring neither...simply that the %s I calculated were based on those numbers and as such, are only as accurate as that source data.
Lol. How many "minor" injuries keep players out a month of a season in any normal year?The "no time to recuperate" after a spring season just doesn't fly. A spring season could be completed by mid-May. That's 2.5 months before soft early August workouts begin. 2.5 months! Egads -- these are not 60 year old men...or 40...or even 30. They're 20 year old's whose bodies recover quickly. So they get in 1 month of weight training instead of 2 -- big deal. Coaches don't like the idea of spring ball because it's different and not ideal, and most college football coaches are control freaks, if nothing else. But it could be done, safely. And it will almost certainly be tried, depending how bad C-19 gets this winter.
And these numbers are what are closing businesses and threatening to keep schools from opening.Talking last night to someone who works in the funeral industry confirmed my suspicion the COVID-19 numbers are a sham.

I’m not saying the virus isn’t a serious disease that can kill quickly. It is and we need to deal with it. But there is little reason to believe that state health officials and Johns Hopkins are giving us accurate numbers that reflect the true scope. It’s unfortunate because during pandemic one of the most important issues is for the masses to believe and trust what they’re being told.
Also, have you noticed how some politicians like Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Gov. Gavin Newsom who had been vehement "we can't re-open schools now" are suddenly "Kids need to be back in school!"? Makes you wonder if internal polling is showing that issue breaking hard in favor of one presidential candidate over the other.And these numbers are what are closing businesses and threatening to keep schools from opening.
They are also affecting people's jobs, careers and livelihoods.
I was told by a local radio deejay that people who were still in testing lines when they closed were being reported as positive cases. These people have to report this "information" to their employers, who are likely to ask them to quarantine for two weeks or make them test negative twice before they are allowed to return to work.
I will report a piece of info because our mainstream media won't. The recovery rate in Wisconsin as of this morning was 84%.
As for the normal flu season get ready for every flu case this winter to be reported as Covid.
What are the odds CFB gets killed because university presidents don’t want players organizing and becoming labor activists while blaming Covid for the shutdown?
This.It was a house of cards. Obviously, no one could have predicted the pandemic of 2020, but the business model we have known for years was ready to implode in the near future anyway.
