Pac needs to be on the field in October.
Who says they are not working with government on a variance?Come out and say they're working with the government in CA and Oregon about getting an exception to return to play and the target date for doing so. Like @Duff Man said they should've been ready for this announcement by the B1G. Today's news didn't suddenly drop like a bombshell out of nowhere, it's been rumored for a couple weeks now and it's only been a matter of their start date since Saturday.
Won’t the infection Disease doctor appointed by each team control that?I personally don't think that is the issue. I think the issue, and I could be wrong with what everyone else is interpreting, but it seems to be the length of quarantine is probably what everyone would hide. I don't think any School wouldn't quarantine, say a Justin Fields. They don't want the rest of the team to get sick or exposed. I just think the amount of days is probably what everyone will fudge. That many days at this point is almost half the season and when you are talking about an important player, I have no doubt that a program like OSU would most certainly hide that.
What bubble?NFL uses daily PCR, no?
Bubble also helped their variance I suspect.
Yeah and what I’m saying is have fun trying to hide that information.I personally don't think that is the issue.

Okay for you too-Cold/Flu season runs from October-March, but it peaks December-February. Given at least some strains of the cold spawn from coronaviruses.........shouldn't we as Americans prepare to see an increase in COVID activity during cold/flu season? Wouldn't that mean probably more COVID cancellations in Jan and Feb than even RN?

Maybe I should have better said access control and protocols.What bubble?
Doesn't spring begin in March?
CA NFL teams received an exemption from the state because of their daily testing capabilities and 1 hour antigen results. In theory, the Pac 12 also has daily testing capabilities and 15 minute antigen results. How is this not a done deal with an announcement of a schedule to return to play?
I still don't understand. NFL players are still coming and going from the facilities and living their lives like normal; perhaps with a little more caution. The CA state exemption was strictly due to the rapid testing abilities that colleges did not have access to at the time. Pac 12 testing capabilities are now better, faster and more efficient than what the NFL has. Larry Scott should have been working with the state for the last month obtaining the same exemption as soon as testing capabilities for the programs were in place and an announcement should have been made for at least a framework for a return to play schedule.Maybe I should have better said access control and protocols.
Money talks.
1K dead people from COVID-19 today won’t talk anymore.
Not that you would ever be able to admit it, but you have been embarrassingly wrong on COVID and college football.
Every P5 Conference has carefully assessed the health risks and is moving forward. The PAC 12 has been been predictably left in the dust, due to the progressive thinking to avoid to COVID at all costs.
Just another example of progressive leaders which make fear-based decisions that are disconnected from the best outcome for the most people.
Everyone is down with big tuition hikes next year to pay for all this?

I bitch-slapped you before and don’t feel compelled to do it again since you’ve gone noticeably silent whenever we have to discuss how COVID-19 has gone in this country.Not that you would ever be able to admit it, but you have been embarrassingly wrong on COVID and college football.

Yea, great. Put us on par with the MWC and make ourselves even more irrelevant. No, no, and plenty of no.
We get no benefit from beating MWC schools, we lose credibility each time we lose to one.
This is something that would not draw more TV eyes to the conference, likely a lot less.
If we end up playing we play a PAC schedule with PAC schools an crown a PAC champion. No more, no less.
Are the 190 thousand or so dead Americans stuck back in March?I guess you have not been following the news updates - most of us are not stuck back in March as it relates to COVID, but many progressives are (oh, the irony of that self-congratulatory and propagandist term!)
Several untruths in this.Not that you would ever be able to admit it, but you have been embarrassingly wrong on COVID and college football.

It's been weeks since the testing partnership was announced and they've already been utilizing it. Why isn't there a plan formulated and articulated to ADs, coaches and players? His statement today suggests nothing new, even though testing requirements are/were the sole issue.Who says he hasn’t?
I can’t find variance. You have it.
I bitch-slapped you before and don’t feel compelled to do it again since you’ve gone noticeably silent whenever we have to discuss how COVID-19 has gone in this country.
You want to continue your regressive mentality? Go right ahead.
So far, you haven’t come up with any reasons why amateurs should spread COVID-19 other than your uninformed notions about fear and progressive leadership. You’ve been mute about how this disease has devastated our country and continues to do so. Your attitude is fck it, who cares about the plague?
That other people actually care about people dying en masse in this country being progressive is all one needs to know about this matter.

On September 16th, a little over 1K people died from COVID-19. As of September 16th, more than 200K Americans have died from COVID-19.Your ass is being owned on this issue - just admit it. Not by me, but by the collective desire of most AD's/President's in P5 college sports to safely move forward, which is happening whether you like it or not.
Fortunately not everyone is stuck back in March in a fetal position and unable to see any progress - I doubt you want to see progress. Wonder why?
I read that California just had its record-low positive testing rate yesterday, but let's stay shutdown and pretend the secondary effects won't be far worse than what is trying to avoided.
I can't wait to watch some quality college football over the next few months, while you hyperventilate in fear about impact of the horrors of COVID on 18-22 year-olds.
You have a reading comprehension problem if you think I’m rooting for people to get sick and die. I’ve demanded better governmental action since the beginning. Public Universities making things worse with a dreadful response by letting teams play in spite of major outbreaks can be added to the horrific response you describe.The only thing devastating about COVID is governmental response to COVID. The disease is so deadly that the vast majority of non-elderly people need to get tested in order to even know that they had it. You keep on being you--keep on rooting for COVID.
Machines have been delivered and validated? That’s not my understanding.It's been weeks since the testing partnership was announced and they've already been utilizing it.

What variance are you looking for? I don't understand what you're saying.
