USC and UCLA are fully online this fall, I believe. I could easily see UCLA being the school to opt out.
Yes, but no one gives two craps about PAC 10 football being cancelled.
You can’t be fully online as a college campus for the safety and health of the student population and faculty, but have student athletes out there (mostly young black men) risking their health and families Heath by playing football for the university for $$$. Not only is it insane to do that, the optics are terrible.
Let me know when one of these football players is an elderly person suffering from other respiratory diseases, and thus at real risk of getting deathly sick. If we were talking getting the 72 Dolphins back together, playing at packed out nursing homes, I'd call that a bad idea. These young men, black and white, are as much at risk of dying from COVID-19 as they are the flu.
You are easily the most insufferable poster on this site. Completely insufferable.
It’s actually safer for it to be online only and just have athletes on campus. It’s an optics problem and nothing else. A football program consisting of 170 people who you can monitor and test or a 20k student body roaming freely. Guess which one I’d rather be around if my health was a concern.
Why do we have to shut out everyone for the few that want to opt out? Why do others have to live in the tyranny of others fear? Just let them make their choice based on their perceived risk, as small as it is
If no ones on campus how does that increase the player's risk? People are out all day and don't get sick. It's only percentage. That's the law of averages in regular mortality.
Yeah, because they were told they had every right to opt out and not lose a year of eligibility. A lot of players really want to play.
