[QUOTE="Techster, post: 718531, member: 360"] Definitely....BUT, what if you test and your entire QB room is infected, or your OLs are infected? That group would have to be isolated for 14 days. How do you play a game without your QBs or OLs? It's November, the height of flu season and the targeted date for the virus to rear it's ugly head again for the predicted second wave, and UGA game is this coming weekend. Tickets and hotel rooms have been sold and booked for weeks even months. Then, on Wednesday, test results come back and our entire QB room is infected, and several guys along the DL and LBs are infected from a installation meeting. They have to isolate immediately. Now what? Can you imagine, say 'Bama and LSU playing a top 10 matchup and half the roster is decimated because players are infected? Here's OpEd on the potential conflict of interests and abuses that the schools and players face: [URL]https://www.ajc.com/blog/mike-check/player-safety-takes-back-seat-ncaa-rushes-allow-campus-workouts/xB10PzPVhnezYYYmIiEHHP/[/URL] I'm hearing a lot of "there's too much money, the schools need to play or else they're going to lose a LOT of revenue..."
