[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 718312, member: 2843"] Any news on progress is good news. ...and the 'wrench' you mention (or wrenches) are a real possibility. I do believe the momentum on 'management' of the virus going forward has shifted (properly) to one where we should and will react on a local level to squash any spread of an outbreak. Truthfully... most situations will be unique and will require a tailored response. That applies to everything; but true for football programs and college campuses too. If the goal is to play college football in the fall to max extent practical, we/they should keep in mind there are 130 FBS teams scattered all over the country. Some in small towns and some in large cities... and all in between. Let's just say for the sake of argument 10% of the teams can't even get started due to the virus... that means 117 teams still can. Then let's say 15% of those have a significant event that forces some version of a "stop" where they cannot play. There are still 100 teams able to compete. It probably won't be pretty/clean...may demand some flexibility and perhaps not all teams end up playing the same number of games. I would definitely appreciate an EFFORT put in to coming up with a reasonable (not perfect) way to proceed with all sports.... not just football. Prepare for problems and respond. It seems like it can be done. If you don't want football until there is some guarantee not a single player/coach/staff member/family member/student will contract C19, then ok. I do not believe that is a reasonable constraint on the problem though. [/QUOTE]
