Most ACC schools have already cancelled summer sessions, I see no scenario that football happens this season. You can’t just expect kids that don’t have access to gyms let alone practice to just start practice in August and get through a season without huge injuries

It is not just people hiding in their houses or the economy in general, even in a closed stadium the idea of players, coaches, officials, and sideline personnel interacting in such close proximity to each other and not spreading the virus is absurd. All you need is one kid on one team to test positive and then you have to isolate the entire team and start testing everyone they played and all the personnel who worked any game with them. Unless there is a vaccine there will be no college football. They are also predicting the second wave to hit in the fall, all pandemics come in waves, we are only in the middle of the first wave. There is no guarantee the campuses will be open in the fall, these are not professionals they are not risking the health of kids for your amusement.
It becomes more likely going forward that the season is in jeopardy. It is unfortunate since we are on a roll ... if anything perhaps a 5-6 game schedule by around end September.
Non of that needs to be true at all. In fact, that is a worst case scenario mixed in with some Trump hate. All that needs to happen is that we don't have a vaccine, period. The country could be going back to work and small business can be open, but you would still not be allowing for large crowds and asking people to continue to abide by some form of social distancing. Universities will still not want to expose kids to close physical contact where they can spread the disease, also there are officials, sideline workers, trainers, etc, even if you closed the stadium that might be affected. And like I said all you would need is one positive test and you would need to test the whole team, any team they played, and anyone who worked their games or trained with them. That team might then be quarantined, etc. It is not that difficult concept to understand, university administrators will not place young men and women at risk so you can watch a football game on TV. Doesn't mean doomsday for the whole economy and society, far from it.
My daughter goes to FSU. She has already been informed the 1st two summer sessions will be online. The 3rd summer session is scheduled for classroom instruction for now.
You are full of it! Another doomsday guy, the fact is that administrators will not be sending kids out to play football if there is a chance of spreading the disease and some kid or official getting terribly sick or dying. That would be the end of his/her career. Administrators will error on the side of safety. Doesn't mean the whole economy is shut down and the world is coming to an end. Ugh!!!
This is a very good point and it just underscores how many layers there are to this thing after we get through the initial phase of protecting people and saving lives. As for sports, the more I see from this pandemic, the more I think we are looking at a January 2021 reboot of everything. Not full swing, just the start of it.
You are a clown. You want college administrators to have thousands of kids playing football with referees, sideline personnel, trainers, etc when we in all likelihood will not have a vaccine for this virus. You have obviously never worked within a university system. University administrators will error on the side of caution even when if it means losing a lot of TV $s when it comes to student safety. Doesn't mean the rest of the economy is in shambles and falling apart. My goodness.
What does that mean, you started as a Rutgers employee? There are literally thousands of jobs at Rutgers that have nothing to do with senior positions within the administration. Again, your argument that if the schools cancel the college football season means the country's economy is in a shambles and that the world is falling apart is so stupid and ludicrous that it is not even worth arguing. Just more doomsday dribble.
You must be one of the most clueless posters on this board. I am a lib Dem my whole life you moron and worked on Dem campaigns going back to my days as a volunteer on the initial Bradley campaign. The point, and I will say it again for the last time after that you are free to spout your misinformation, college administrators are by their very nature very conservative when it comes to putting kids in any form of danger. That doesn't mean the whole society has shut down and the economy has tanked, it does mean that unless their is a vaccine it is unlikely that they will allow the kids to return to the field for any fall sport, not just football. Again, I am not buying into your doomsday paranoid predictions.
