The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

he probably has other things to do right now then reply immediately to an Internet message board. The reason I asked that question is because it was not highly advertised that the published numbers that day were wildly incorrect. What’s more, they left those numbers as-is instead of correctly assigning the test results to the proper day the results occurred. Crazy.

Can you provide a link where experts say that the data that day was wildly incorrect? And yes, I was at the dentist.

I already did - it was linked in my reply. Here it is again. We peaked on July 10th, 5 weeks ago. (Or a day or two earlier if you smooth the data.) I also showed a picture of the trend line from DHEC where visually you can see we peaked 5 weeks ago. Here it is down below with the trend line (again note the July 18th number included over 500 cases from the previous day)

DHEC reports over 2,300 new cases, 19 additional deaths from coronavirus

COLUMBIA, SC (WACH) -- The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today that there are 2,335 new confirmed cases, one new probable case, 19 additional deaths and no new probable deaths from coronavirus. This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 69,765...

For someone worried about getting sued, the Southern Conference does it right. They didn’t feel comfortable supporting conference play, but lets each team make a schedule by playing other teams if they want. This is not about health, this is about liability, so the conference leadership delegates decision making down to each school.

Here is where I stand on college football right now.

Would I like to be able to watch it - hell yeah
Would I allow fans in the stands - hell no
if I was President of Georgia Tech would I allow them to play - no. Mainly due to the fact it isn't safe at this time to have any students in close contact, not just SA's at GT. i wouldn't have any students on campus right now. Once you get positivity below 5% then you can have students on campus and after that you can have college sports.

i will add I have no idea how they will make quarantine work. Keep in mind what that means definitionally - anyone in close contact is quarantined for 14 days. Close Contact is defined by the NCAA as

• An individual who was within 6 feet of someone with COVID-19 for at least 15 minutes.
• An individual who provided care at home to someone who is sick with COVID-19.
• An individual who had direct physical contact with the person (touched, hugged, or kissed them).
• An individual who shared eating or drinking utensils.
• An individual who was sneezed or coughed on by an infected individual or who somehow was touched by respiratory droplets from an infected individual.

Big Ten: 2020 Season Cancelled

Nebraska: B1G sucks, Nebraska vehemently disagrees, we're taking our ball and finding other people to play with...

Big Ten: Go for it. You add nothing to the B1G. Lincoln Nebraska is an armpit. Oh, and remember to drop off that $50 million check on the way out. Good luck...

Nebraska:

Without football, there won't be a $50mm check from the B1G.

Nowhere in that article does it state that the data from July 18th is inaccurate. It just states that it includes date from a private lab from the previous day, which would skew your trend line.

Were you wearing a mask? Sorry, that was just too easy.

nm, sorry

Huh? LOL. That’s exactly what it says. It says over 500 of the cases were supposed to be reported the day before but there was a delay. It doesn’t skew the trend line because the numbers swap between two days - the total number between those 2 days stays the same. But it does change the peak to July 10th. Which was the point of contention anyway - we peaked July 10th and have been trending down for 5 weeks.

NCAA tonight saying their #1 goal for the winter/spring will be playing championships for the sports that were cancelled this season, with of course the #1 goal being holding an NCAA Tournament.
That will take precendence over everything including spring football (note that does not affect FBS, but would affect FCS).

NCAA president floats idea of postseason bubble model, thinks 32-team NCAA Tournament 'manageable'

Mark Emmert says the NCAA is considering many options, including bubbles, to conduct its championships in winter and spring

It is odd that someone with a journalism degree professes to know more about medicine and science than medicine and science professionals. It is odd without any evidence to back it up, she compared playing football to Russian Roulette and the Titanic. You’d think with those analogies she could point to deaths around college football teams and other sports teams...or at least hospitalizations. Or at least generally speaking. As we’ve discussed here, the flu hits the 15-24 age group harder than COVID - and these are super fit athletes. I also note she says nothing about having kids back on campus - how is 20-25 minutes of a contact sport more dangerous than hours and hours of congregating in dorms, apartments, bars, restaurants, and fraternity houses? At Michigan State they had a super spreader event this summer at a bar where 200 students got COVID. 200! Not a single person even end up at the hospital.

People are losing their ****.

if Christine Brennan is against it, then I’m even more for it.

The ACC is playing Wooden Tower with the 2020 football season. Eventually the tower falls. The only question is which block does it.

maybe, maybe not. You don’t know that to be true

Does anyone know the economic fallout from not having CFB?
ESPN?
Coaches get paid?
TV revenue?
People dropping TV packages?
Sports casters?

I think this is actually a fair take. It is really hard in this politically correct time to be a salmon and swim upstream. Even if there is evidence to back you up.
