[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 733313, member: 1045"] I don't think the issue here is that there are "too many cooks in the kitchen," but that there is still "too much uncertainty in the potential impact on the health of our players, staff, and fans." Any leader who wouldn't take the time to wisely consider those potential consequences only in order to ensure they would make more money wouldn't be a "strong leader" but a willfully ignorant and poor one. Now, that is not to say I claim to know the "right" answer or even have a position on whether football should be played or not. Like everyone else, I strongly hope that it gets played. But I also hope that the decision makers take the time to ensure that, if we do play, we play in a responsible way that takes care of the health of those involved. More than that, as others have said, it isn't a matter of "just play the games and people will come." Even if the season gets played, tons of people are not going to want to go to the games due to the health situation. I made the personal choice to decline my football tickets for this year for that reason. I love going to games, but it is not worth the risk to me. That said, I also made the decision to donate the entire cost of this year's tickets to the athletic association because I love Tech athletics and know they are going to be in financial trouble whether the season gets played or not. But I am in the fortunate position that I can make that financial decision. Others are not. [/QUOTE]
