And, according to this, Duke has #7, also higher than any other P5 school...
I’m not debating about whether they play. I’m simply stating that cancelling the season this early was stupid. They deprived their football programs of precious developmental time. They could have allowed their teams to practice then cancel closer to the first game. Simple. And, I’ll go with the...
Except that it does. They ****ed up and it’s making them look horrible.
Even if the other 3 never end up playing games, they won in this. They got the practices and they won the PR game. Period.
Also, the BIG 10 and the PAC 12 made really dumb and hasty decisions. There was absolutely no reason to cancel the season this early. They screwed themselves. Meanwhile, the other 3 conferences are getting the benefit of practicing with no additional risk to the athletes.

Football activities take up an enormous number of hours per week of these kids' time. Take away all those hours and what are the kids going to do to fill the time? Probably activities that put them at greater risk of getting the virus.
In a non-bubble environment, it's a **** of a lot more difficult to control a professional athlete than it is a college athlete. Comparing what happened with the Marlins to CFB is a false analogy.
Nothing about what the SU players are doing makes any sense at all. If they are concerned about the protocols in place at SU, I could understand sitting out, but sitting out right now from team practices because they are concerned about protocols in place at other schools makes ZERO sense...
