It's the right decision. Having anyone come on your campus and inside your facilities presents a risk.

If all schools do it don't see it as a big deal

This is a huge disadvantage if the other conferences don’t follow. The latest from the SEC is that it’s up to the individual schools to decide in regards to spring practice and recruiting. If they all continue and only the ACC stops it’ll be really bad for the conference. There is no way UGA and Bama suspend recruiting operations unless they’re forced to.

Dang, we need the spring practice!!

Since nobody under the age of 30 has died or even come close to dying from the virus, I just don't get this.

I’m 41 and this is the most panic driven event/day of my lifetime. And it’s not close. I’m in absolute shock by the reaction to the virus.

Does this include spring practice?

Good thing we accepted the post season ban on bball. Still sucks.

This is political BS. Never shuts down for flu. I am 85 and healthy. If I was diabetic, had respiratory issues or other disease resistant issues I would avoid crowds but I wouldn't expect the world to shut down. Same if it were a member of my family. Just have them take more vitamin C and D.

Gotta think of the people that are your age and unhealthy and by limiting congregation it slows the spread to where it might not reach those “at risk”.

China and Italy have completely shut down and quarantined huge geographic regions. But yes, it’s all because the liberal media is trying to get rid of Trump.

I’m not in a risk group but my parents are or my grandparents are or my siblings have diabetes or a respiratory condition that puts them at risk. I go to practice or go to a campus visit or a team meeting and I contact someone who does have COVID-19. Then I got home and I come in contact with my family member or person with whom I’m close who is in one of those risk groups and I pass it right along to them. This is a VERY common scenario.

Hate to tell you, but there are a lot of bona fide health professionals who think it is BS. My vascular surgeon told me last week that he believed it had been blown way out of proportion.

I can't argue with that.

At this point it is PR issue and yes, many people actually believe they are protecting the players from a life threatening illness. Fortunately there is absolutely no data to indicate people in the players demographic are severely threatened by the virus at all. Hence why some people believe some outside force has to be driving the decision making.
