[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 735478, member: 1776"] If you have the time this is a great podcast from last night with Dan Wetzel, Pete Thamel and Pat Forde on college football (1 hr) [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.yahoo.com/college-podcast-big-10-pac-12-cancel-football-in-2020-acc-sec-big-12-still-alive-071030738.html[/URL] Also this article talks about two things that would help make college football more likely. It has a link to the PAC12 doctors recommendation. What was interesting in that is that there is only one fleeting mention to cardial inflammation, their reasons for a no go decision are almost completely separate from that. They largely involve uncontrolled community spread and the lack of testing (especially quick testing) that makes it dangerous for student-athletes to be on campus just like it makes it dangerous for regular students.
