Commissioners Tell Pence No Sports Until Students return to Campus

Advertisement
Untested kids packing into classrooms is completely different than a huge money football machine testing players and coaches and playing in empty stadiums. This is why bright line rules are usually stupid. Take each situation and treat it differently. College football is a gigantic money machine. There's a pretty easy solution to make it work. You can't play college football online, but you can take college classes online.

Keeping schools closed this fall is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. It's the economy stupid and the number of virus cases by May shouldn't warrant closures in August. Businesses should be reopened NOW. Look at the stats; 358 cases in Collier County out of 450k+ people? Newsflash: people get the flu every year and people die from the flu every year. Total knee-jerk based on Fauci's recommendations who said a few months ago that "the virus wasn't anything for the U.S. to worry about".

Tell that to Karl Anthony Towns mom. Tell that to 26k people who have died in the past 30 days. Or the 35k people in ICU who are in sleep induced comas fighting for their lives who were normal and fine in February. Remember it's just the flu. Oh have a great Thursday too!

Tell that to the millions that lost their job, that are behind on mortgages, rent, and car payments. Tell that to the millions that are fighting addiction and depression bc they can’t support their families.

All you have to do is see that liquor stores are deemed essential to see that the government doesn’t care about your life or anyone else’s. Addiction and depression will kill more people than this virus. Nobody wants your grandma to die. Get off your high horse.

Lucky for Alabama, their entire football program is deemed an essential service. Their season will go on, and they will claim yet another national title. Largely because everyone else doesn't show up to play.

Maybe the mentors, advisors, street agents, bagmen, and other members of the Enhanced Recruiting community can follow the courage of their convictions and suit up to form opposing teams. Then they can continue facilitate the glory of Alabama football by being smashed by them.

Right then everyone gets sicks and then we really lose companies. Like I said tell that to my homeboy who died last week at 34. You are worried about business and he died in 8 days. Privilege folks talking **** doesn't surprise me.. It's affecting blacks + Hispanics more.. I don't care for you. When this over... We can meet up too and see if you got all this mouth. Privileged folks talking **** of course you care about your business. I care about people of color who are most on the front lines. Tell that to my family member who is renting out a hotel room because she's a doctor and doesn't even want to risk infecting my niece and nephew. It affects blacks and hispanics the most. You worried about your beloved precious football. Privilege talk at it's finest.

I really appreciate this post. I took the easy path and just wrote in generalities about gate receipts versus tv money. And you did the work and actually got us the stats. A sincere thanks.

Those "stats" don't pass the sniff test.

I think they do. its obvious that college football relies on gate receipts. Many games are not televised, or are only televised on local networks. Schools need students and alumni at games, buying food and merchandise to make money, especially outside the Power 5. And that is a lot of schools.
 
Wait until you all see LV mayor's latest comments.

Is the dam breaking?

For perspective, she said almost word for word what a brilliant poster put here not so long ago....

Did LA roll out release that concerts and sporting events are likely to be banned through 2021??

Huge impact across several industries.
 
This is a nightmare waiting to happen. What if less densely populated, rural areas opt to open colleges sooner - see SEC - while uber progressive areas of the country - see, PAC-12 - don't open until January or the 2021 academic year? What if some conference schools open and others don't? This might end up a Chinese fire drill - pardon the pun - with lawyers racing to court houses.

We are supposed to have an NCAA that oversees all this.

I wood be more in favor of letting a limited number of students back on campus and going forward with football. I think universities should open campuses with say no more than 85 students this Fall and see how it goes.

What is the significance of the number 85?
 
Bowlsby Paraphrased: "Our Athletes are students, if classes are not in session then neither is college sports"

Translation of Paraphrased: "We need our students with Stafford/Pell Grant money to continue to pay us and we'll hold college sports hostage until that happens."

LOL. This is uninformed hysteria. Your case is for saving lives right? Poverty and addiction kills more people every year than anything else. It will kill more people than this virus.

Idk what business you’re talking about. I’m not rich or a business owner, but please tell me more about my “privilege” to deflect from the facts. Guilt tripping people into poverty isn’t saving any lives.

Where's the data to support the opinion that staying in during this virus is causing people to become addicted to drugs and dying from addiction?
