It looks like it’s over for CFB in 2020.

Well the congress needs to include liability protections in the next bill. Otherwise it’s a sea of lawsuits everywhere

Big gov't sucks...

Inevitable and thoroughly pathetic. We are a nation of velvety soft vaginas (in a bad way).

This is what changes it. Tort reform.

Yeah and let me guess what would help the economy, massive corporate tax breaks?

there’s plenty of safeguards in place to protect against frivolous lawsuits, but let’s not let facts get in the way of the right wing corporate attorney mantra that has been going strong since the 1980s.

tort reform does one thing very well, protects a reckless or malicious defendant from having to pay appropriately for damages.

Football not happening in the fall would be mainly so the big state schools could have a chance at more fans in the stands in the spring. If we are still at the same point, they haven’t lost anything. If things are better, they get to bring in a ton more revenue.

The liability aspect of schools and college football is silly. There’s no more liability towards a football player than a sophomore history major. Everyone is given a choice what they want to do, there’s no forced attendance or forced playing football.

The AD at Ohio St has been chirping about spring ball since April, always referencing how important it is to have their stadium packed. Guess which conference went to conference only first and is about to say no fall football first? This is about $$$$$, not health or lawsuit liability.

Politicians only care about themselves and their party's agendas.

 

[KrazyCane]

America played sports thru the Spanish Influenza of 1918 that killed 25 million globally. We played during world war 2 - all 5 years. And we are canceling for this. Unreal

we also play through the seasonal flu epidemic every year

One of the only true statements on this thread.

Thanks Trump.

Assuming Dr. Levitt from Stanford is correct and we see a huge drop by the end of the month, these schools are going to look pathetically weak.

Imagine if they do decide to cancel or postpone and the numbers drop like a rock before the first game was scheduled to be played. The MAC and Big 10 will be standing there with their **** in their hands.

 

[kkinder94]

Follow the money. The MAC schools make their money playing big name schools and getting those big guarantees. Football is now a money loser at a time when schools are losing money hand over fist. The MAC is publicly stating corona, but the real reason is $$$.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

Doubt it. The MAC has no tv deal so they make no profit by playing. P5 conferences still have millions in tv deals to make

This goes beyond stupid.

In other nations - not the US - someone gets CV-19 - and they get Hydroxychloroquine. End of week? Gone. No side effects.

Those other studies that said different? Foreign, and false. Fauci was head of NIH when they did a study that showed HCQ was very effective in stopping Covid. Not 19 - **** - what we call "common colds" are partially Covid variations.

The US? Fauci and others can't make any money off HCQ. It's cheap. It's safe. It works. They want that $900 a day patented treatment. Hospitals get an extra $35,000 extra for CV patients. Guess what? Almost everyone walking in the door - is a CV patient - whether they are or not!

If you are elderly and have 2.5 co-morbidity conditions - and any one of them can drop you dead any minute - YES - you may catch CV-19 and die. Or just catch pneumonia. The flu. Or something else develops to push you over the top. But it's NOT the CV-19 really doing the killing of these folks.

Get a sackfull of HCQ - and let's get on with life!

A lot of people are going to feel mighty stupid very soon for falling for a lot of this crap.

I posted this and got some negs -

"Just do what you're told, believe what you're told, repeat what you're told."

And we wonder why this country is on a downhill slide.

Tell the thousands of people i just saw trying to get into Dania and Hollywood beach . They'll definitely tell those conferences to grab a ****...

The problem is that when the MAC cancels and the P5 don't, the optics are that the major universities are putting money over the health of unpaid college students. You can't overcome that, thus season cancelled.

 

[kkinder94]

WWII had zero to do with an infectious epidemic in the USA. If there were all the televised news and social media that exist today present back in 1918, sports woulda been cancelled back then too.

No, it wouldn't have been cancelled then because people were tough back then.

 

[cooks002]

When does the hoax start?

 

[mirvin88]

I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m simply reporting what I saw. But is it really absurd? Really? There is so much liability. There are 1 million attorneys that would be chomping at the bit to Sue University shut the NCAA over an athlete getting sick with COVID-19 and dying or suffering serious side effects from the disease.

Yes, yes it is absurd
