People viewing this in the vacuum as if college athletes can be isolated. If the virus spreads among a team, there's a very good chance that most, if not all, will recover just fine. However, what if that athlete spreads it to classmate, professor, assistant coach, support staff or a parent...
Here's an AJC article on how GT is handling it:

We had a business meeting the Monday before Thanksgiving in Wardlaw, so we ended up walking through the stadium afterwards. The grounds crew was working on the south end of the stadium, and it was surprising the see the condition of the field.
In my mind, it's always looks perfect, but lots of...
One of my GT classmates is working on this for Shaw. This is their best product, and it's not your grandfather's AstroTurf. He's got a patch of it in his back yard, and if you walked on it blindfolded, you'd never know it wasn't grass.
I think some people are missing the point. Will Georgia Tech help more student-athletes vote? Yes.
That's it. Waiting in line, early voting, absentee are all valid methods. They are sending a clear message that athletic commitments won't be the excuse for not voting (if they choose to wait in...
I think the point is that between academics and athletics, the day is pretty full. Subtract 2-3 hours of athletics commitments out of the day, and they'll have a chance to vote.
I believe the student center is a polling location, so if they are registered in on-campus housing, it's a...
This may be too naive but I'm guessing UGA isn't willing to stick their necks out. Probably easier to take the criticism of staying silent rather than the criticism of taking a stand.
What's been striking to me is that not only has Coach Collins been vocal about supporting his players, but the...
I think it should be noted the both ADTS and CGC tweeted on Friday before the destruction of property and looting started (at least in Atlanta). It should also be noted they spoke up before it became the popular/required thing to do among college and pro coaches and organizations. That took...
That's a strong opinion. I've only gotten to know Coach Curry in the last 10 years (through my dad as I was very young during his tenure at Georgia Tech). I've found him to be a kind, compassionate man and an incredibly moving speaker. I'd encourage you to reach out to Coach Curry to discuss...
Coach Collins had a press conference yesterday, and here are two articles about his comments. I hope every Georgia Tech fan, student-athlete and recruit reads them. I firmly believe this is moment where history will remember those "leaders" who were silent or resisted change. It makes me proud...
