tOSU modeled a 6-ft version and came up with between 20-22K in a 100K stadium. Apply that to GT and you are looking at about 11K. Of course until we get closer we simply have no idea what the situation is and all this could be moot as we are able to have alot more in the stands or have no one.

I 100% agree with the decision of the PGA Commisioner, I think it makes perfect sense - but keep in mind it is much easier to make his decision than most sports will have the ability to do. The PGA is a very individual sport where the athletes don't play every week anyways. They play in large...

I agree with you. There is no way that fans aren't going to yell and scream. If fans are allowed to be there, and that is clearly not a given right now, it will almost certainly have to be in some socially distanced way. With people spread out through the stadium, with specific entrance and exit...

https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/25/acc-basketball-power-rankings-duke-virginia-unc 6. Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets went a surprising 11–9 in the ACC last season despite a postseason ban, and while some of that was due to the conference’s overall lack of depth, the bet here is that this...

The idea that the next 4 weeks are really important I would totally agree with. If it goes all haywire the next 4 weeks then sports might never get up and running for this fall, that would s*ck. The Saints Malcolm Jenkins is saying that football is a 'non-essential' business and the COVID...

Fortunately the last payment on that was this past year. We currently have no buyouts being paid to former basketball coaches.

GT is hardly going to be the only University whose AA will have to have furloughs, it isn't even the first.

I hardly think the end of the world is coming, unfortunately we are putting ourselves in a place where we can't live like we want to because we won't take simple steps. Deaths are not 'diving' at all. They had been on a slow, steady decline - but that has changed in the last couple of days...

No nation has yet figured out how to 'protect the vulnerable' - that was basically Sweden's strategy and it failed miserably - and it didn't save the economy for more than another month or so as their economic numbers are now right in line with the EU average. Even now, while the majority of the...

Milwaukee makes one point that is the truth - it's all about the money. One reason i think fans in stands - at least large numbers of them, is less likely than the game themselves is that from a money standpoint it is not about the cities, it is about the AA's and their desire to make sure they...

FWIW, NY/CT/NJ have just announced they are implementing a 14 day quarantine for people coming from any state where the positive test rate is above 10% As of today that would be AL, AR, AZ, FL, NC, SC, TX, UT, WA Since the avg changes every day what states might be impacted could change daily...

i doubt we are 24% of the world's infections, that is due to a number of nations that aren't reporting numbers with any sort of accuracy - including most Central and South American countries. India does very little testing - mainly of its upper castes, so their numbers as bad as they are are way...

99% isn't a great number for an infectious disease, Also, it's not just about deaths. What about the 8-10% that end up in hospitals. What about all the people that miss work sick at home. Greg Sankey was on TV last night. His basic comments were that as of right now that they plan to play the...

It is likely to kill more people going forward. Deaths stopped decreasing today, avg moved back up slightly nationally. in FL they had their highest reported deaths today since June 2nd. Deaths are the greatest trailing indicator and will go up later than cases and hospitalizations - which have...

Based on what we are seeing around the world i think there is basically no way they are simply going to 'open the stadiums'. The only place really doing that is New Zealand where they basically got the number of cases down to 0. Even Australia had to postpone a rugby game last week after a local...

I doubt it, and realistically the earliest is going to be early 2021 - based on Dr. Fauci's comments to Congress today and frankly that would be almost a miracle based on past vaccine development. The other issue is once you have a working vaccine - there will have to be a hierarchy of...

I hope by August we have dealt with wave 1.5, if not we as a country are going to be in a really bad place. The issue that concenrs me about getting to watch sports this fall, or even any significant semblance of normality, is likely to be that we don't truly knock it down enough so that all it...

Some COVID related articles from Yahoo today. First is what we can learn from the Orlando team that had to withdraw from the NSWL - beyond don't go to bars. https://sports.yahoo.com/coronavirus-orlando-pride-nwsl-sports-mls-nba-150643084.html Alot of talk in this one about false negatives and...

If the mods need to move this one I understand. This is an article by an epidemiologist explaining why the increase in cases is not being caused by increasing testing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/22/no-more-testing-doesnt-explain-rise-covid-19-cases-us/ I'll add that in some...
