The P5 conferences will decide what happens with college football. They will make the decisions whether they will play at all, whether they will play if not all the schools can play, when they will stop. The NCAA has no control over college football, hasn't for years - that is arguably one thing...

Ohio State becomes the latest to suspend workouts https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ohio-state-pauses-football-workouts-following-latest-results-of-covid-19-testing-among-athletes/

Good article on the Ivy decision. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ivy-league-cancels-college-football-season-for-fall-2020-will-reevaluate-playing-sports-in-january-2021/ Not a surprise that Ivy League football is a money loser - as someone who went to grad school at an Ivy the...

I certainly think they will try and i think the Tobacco Road Mafia wants to play as badly as all the other schools - they all rely on that money for their athletics program. We just don't know what the environment is going to be in 3 weeks when the final decisions will have to be made. The...

if you are saying Europeans are anti-science I would have to disagree with you. They are much less anti-science than US citizens. They actually followed scientific recommendatons made mostly by US scientists, the US government chose not to do that. Now after getting hit earlier than we did and...

This is a great article but also speaks to why having a leader in the Executive Branch who likes to move like a bull in a China shop is a big negative. it doesn't allow for the kind of conversations that need to be had that involve deep thought and nuance. We have things to go on. While some...

And this article is already badly out of date and looks bad in retrospect. No one can look at the numbers objectively and say we are not in a serious place. I don't think you would find many doctors in some of these states that would say that today. Whether they came into the hospital due to...

UNC becomes the latest school to suspend voluntary practices due to COVID19.

The only thing I feel confident in is that sports are not going to be nice and smooth in getting back to action. The MLS has already had one team knocked out of their bubble before they even began and they may be close to losing a second team (Nashville). MLB has had issues with getting testing...

Honestly, none of us know where we are going to be in 3 weeks when P5 conferences have to make final decisions, but realistically it likely won't be significantly better than it is now - hopefully it won't be worse. Ivy League cancels Fall Sports and delays Winter Sports until at least Jan 1...

The idea of purposely trying to get this is a very bad one and if I was an AD and found out my coach was allowing it i'd fire him for cause immediately. There are multiple reasons not to do this. First, it is not just about deaths. How many people get seriously ill. According to the latest CDC...

Ivy League is planning on announcing their fall sports plans on Wednesday. The rumors are that they will move all fall sports to the Spring. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ivy-league-coaches-expect-2020-college-football-season-to-be-moved-to-spring-2021-per-report/ Another...

On COVID and education. I know this has been posted on the football thread but the Georgia Tech faculty has come out strong against the Board of Regents. They have an open letter they sent to the Board of Regents that as of today i believe is up to 800 out of the 1,100 faculty signing it...

Also, the data is all out there publicly available for people to look at, you don't have to rely on the media to spoon feed you. FL is a good example that Liberty mentions. Their testing rate has almost tripled since April 16, but their cases have gone up over 12X in that same span and the...

Spain's large seroprevelance study was released today. Largest one in the world so far. 5% overall positive test rate for the country (one of the hardest hit in the world). Highest rate was just over 14% in one area around Madrid. Also, 1/7 of the people who at first tested positive for...

My son and I had made the decision weeks ago that we would not go to DragonCon this year if they had it. We just saw no way it could be done in a safe manner. We will be there in 2021 assuming they have it.

I actually saw him at Grant Field when he played at one of the old JV football games between GT-UGA. The man could play that fiddle.

Excellent opinion piece. Kemp's comments to me amounted to him hitting the red panic button and using the one thing he thought might get through to people. If it works, then awesome, because that means we get college football. If it doesn't we have to wait and see if it improves enough that we...

I probably should have posted my previous post in the Coronavirus thread, sorry about that. On a college note. So. Cal becomes the first large university to switch plans. After saying they were going to have students on campus this fall they have decided to switch to almost all classes being...

IMO, not having a strong national plan has been the biggest failure in the US so far on this. When you have a crisis that is affecting the whole country you need a strong national plan to attack that process. We had nothing. And what little direction was given was largely ignored by alot of the...
