I'm not convinced the scheduling won't be used strategically

[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 747544, member: 959"] I have been thinking about this a lot the last few weeks and am becoming more and more convinced that teams will try to game the system to optimize their chances to win a title this year by strategically ducking games as needed to get guys healthy. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/georgia-tech-was-approached-about-possible-schedule-change/PQCE5J3NLFAPDLPYPZBYGAMUPE/[/URL] This article gives a look at how loose and fast the conference is going to be with regards to scheduling and I don't know what would stop a team from doing shady things to get an edge. I am not suggesting people will manufacture test results, but it seems there is discretion for how they're doing isolation off of contact tracing and other practice time reductions related to this. I do now think teams are incentivized to help themselves. For example I would say "Heck no" to playing this following week (we need the non-covid guys to get back healthy, but if we were full strength would think we would jump at the chance to play another game while we were healthy before flu season picks up. Just another example of the new breed of non-football related lucky bounces this season will hold. [/QUOTE]
