    SEC letting players opt out of season

    This will seem odd given the crazy spikes right now, but I think the best chance for college football happening this fall is for this spike to be going on now. Get it out of the way, and 8 or 9 weeks from now it'll all be flattening out. We just need to ride this wave out and keep the 40+...

    It's window dressing. I doubt you see more than 1% opt out. But the optics are good when you give them that option, and that's all that really matters right now--optics. These fit young athletes are at very little real risk of serious issues from COVID.

    Listen to The Legend. This is EXACTLY what I told you conferences will do in order to avoid liability. They're not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. You can't avoid liability with waivers unless you give the participants the real option of not playing. If you say, "Sign this...
