[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 735227, member: 2426"] Players with concussions want to play immediately. Should the medical diagnosis for a concussed player be, "Do you want to play now?". Assume a player does want to play now. If a lock for the first round plays, is asymptomatic - tests negative - but has the virus and develops the heart inflammation - and develops heart issues because the inflammation isn't detected -- what happens to his chance to move on to the next level? What if a player who does want to play, and whose parents are posting on Twitter that they want him to play develops adverse affects from COVID while playing. What if his parents then sue the university and conferences? I heard one person on ESPN today talking about Big 10 university officials rotating back and forth between medical experts, financial consultants, and liability lawyers. Some of the questions were things like: What liability would we have if a player or players who 10-15 years from now die and it can be traced back to heart damage from playing sports with myocarditis that was caused from asymptomatic COVID-19? Can we plan for that with our budgets. Those are the kinds of questions they were asking, and the types of people they were talking to. This isn't a case of Big 10 presidents watching Twitter and FB posts and throwing zingers against another side. From what I have heard, they had some real health concerns and some of the extreme liability concerns that they have. [/QUOTE]
