The ACC, SEC and Big 12 look foolish to most of the world, right now. First in the Southern States it was, “we refuse to wear masks and refuse to social distance”, which led to a massive outbreak in those states. Now in the Southern States it’s, “we’re playing some college football no matter what, because the kids are safer traveling and playing football against kids from other schools”. Never mind the fact that some schools have loose restrictions, evidenced by the nonsense happening Virginia Tech!.

Money grab all day long.

The blowback is going to be tremendous, if there is an outbreak on any of those teams, and rightfully so.

Why are you so against these conferences attempting to play and keeping their athletes safe in the process?

I'm tired of you idiots posting your political bias as though liberals are always the blame and conservatives are righteous. There's certainly nothing conservative about playing sports in the middle of a pandemic. This has nothing to do with politics. These conferences are making decisions based on the recommendations of the medical and scientific community. If it were political, you'd have people on both ends for and against. Not a one sided issue. Stop this political BS!!!

As a liberal, I will comment and tell you this has everything to do with politics.

None of the conferences are listening to a single ******* Dr. They are listening to their lawyers. This has everything to do with liability, money and power.

The lack of a unified, measured response has to do with the fact that the virus has been divided politically, unlike most countries who have taken a uniformed stance and direction on tackling the virus. Look around, America is alone.

The reason the conferences and the NCAA wont come out and blanket direct sports to take on certain stance or mitigating action has to do with them not wanting to pander to a side of the debate because its tied to a political faction, and that faction is also a consumer of their product. They don't want to **** up their bag.

The Big10 and Pac 12 are literally taking the left-leaning approach to dealing with this ( treat it like armageddon ), the rest of them are treating it like it never happened.

Neither are right, but trust me, they are doing it because of money, not science.

But aren't people currently making recommendations for (ACC, BIG 12, SEC) and against (BIG 10, PAC 12)?

Not sure what you mean and how that is or isn't political. What I see is a problem in that each conference is making its own decisions, setting its standards, and policies related to Covid-19 rather than the NCAA having one single standard for everyone to follow. They ultimately report to all the university presidents, but they punted and now we have this mess of each conference having to repeat the same decision making process, but not uniform in what or how to analyze the information for college sports.

Conferences doing what's in their legal and/or financial interests have nothing to do with politics. That would mean some political affiliation and political benefit in their decisions. Sacrificing millions of dollars for some unknown political gain. Not the case.

I completely disagree with you. You make an assumption that an invidual point of view for or against playing is based on politics. Show me some facts thst support it. Its just rhetoric of people trying to push it into politics by making assinine statements that are not correlated to a political viewpoint.

Socialism? Oh you mean like social security, Medicare, and the Military. I’m for that kind of socialism. Too bad many republicans could less about the first two I just listed...

So who is advocating for abolishing private property? The word has a definition. No one wants socialism. Can't read 3 ******* posts without politics here anymore.
 
Apparently they are testing players every other week, which I believe is less than what they are supposed to be unless I'm mistaken.

So Syracuse and Pitt players are licking each other’s assh*les, so now we are not playing?

If they were listing to their lawyers they Probably wouldn’t play. It’s a financial calculation. To all my lawyer friends out there it’s like the ford pinto case. Calculated risk.
