2020 CU football season POSTPONED until Nov 6th?

Find a field outside of Boulder County to get practice in. Not sure how they'd get lifting in, though
IANAL, but I did read the full order. it seems clear that:
- the gatherings apply to everyone 18-22 w/in the city of Boulder
- SAH applies to the properties in the Exhibit
- monitoring, testing and cooperation applies to all CU students
this does seem the only solution.
however, they can't share the same transport leaving Boulder, so that poses another problem.
I assume it would be an NCAA violation for anyone to offer them a ride.
in addition to Colorados restrictions, Boulders very harsh restrictions, California is also probably not in the supportive camp either. Say add the 4 other PAC schools that might be on that list as restricted in practice, meeting, or competing.
1. the tweet says 'confirmed' regarding impact on CU Athletics, but the linked article makes no mention of such a confirmation.
2. the linked article states "Residents must wear a mask at all times outside of their home. " but the PHO does not state this from what I can tell.
Yeah, not unless they can figure out a way to get around it and get practice and lifting/running in during the next 2 weeks.
11/7 would give a 4 week ramp up period, which would probably work for CU since they've been practicing and lifting for a little now.
Progressive politics strike again!!! I find it amazing the way progressive politics can undermine every aspect of life in its single-minded zeal to avoid the negative.
How is this progressive politics? CU has a huge surge in cases, the largest in the state, and officials are trying to stop it. It’s more like common sense.
Go up to FoCo to practice and lift. MW isn't planning to return to play (AFAIK), CSU isn't using those facilities. Not that they do anyway.
1. MWC is likely returning as well
2. Not sure CSU is going to allow CU football to use their facilities
3. Even if they did, are they all going to drive separately every day?
- Ned is in BoCo
- they can't ride together or be bussed together
- i believe offering athletes transportation not available to the general student body would be an impermissible benefit
There have been over 1200 COVID cases at CU. This is not progressive politics, this is managing an epidemic (poorly, I might add).
CU can just move its football training camp out of Boulder County.
Nederland is still in Boulder County. Estes Park could be an option and I played football at that school for two seasons. There is a practice field south of the high school next to the lake. Stadium is just north of the stadium with night lights. Four baseball fields at a nearby park are there and outfields could be used for group positions. The players will need to get used to kicking elk droppings around but the groundskeepers have the appropriate gear for removing those.

As I said above; CU can do whatever they want, and just allow for practices to happen. They could attempt to use this educational activity exception as cover. But they won't

It is VERY progressive, and officials aren't going to stop jack squat. Out of all these cases, there are approximately zero hospitalizations and zero deaths. COVID is running its course through the Boulder population, and no amount of progressive policies are going to stop it. All these policies will do is prolong the course of the disease. Pretty progressive, and very stupid. But I repeat myself.
We get it. In defiance of all evidence, you believe that COVID-19 poses no health risks to young people. No need to continue to parade your stupidity in every post, we've all been convinced.
This is very easily manageable by CU - athletes would be kept in an extreme bubble for two weeks and tested frequently, with virtually no risk to anyone in the Boulder community. But no - the progressive mindset does not allow for common sense solutions. It's all about following top-down edicts whether they make any sense or not.
There are actually a lot of ways to stop the spread, hence why they shut down 36 properties (mostly frats and sororities). Colorado has done a pretty good job with all of this lately and to see cases spike because of college kids is going to bring on restrictions if you have a brain. Also do you know anyone at CU right now? Hospitalizations is only part of the picture, there are some kids that are getting really really sick and this disease spreads like wildfire.
That’s fine, and I do think you will see discussions around this today and tomorrow. But to say this is progressive politics is stupid. City officials don’t go through every potential gathering in Boulder and rule which ones can go on and which ones can’t.
100% disagree - it is absolutely progressive fear-based politics at work.
CU athletes are already being kept in a bubble which has virtually eliminated any risk of community transmission. All CU athletes were recently tested - zero positives. But let's not use common sense and lock them down like fraternities/sororities.
fear based politics? Man, who does that make me think of...
You have no idea if there were no positives on the team. They don’t release that information.
You obviously don't understand the the mindset and world view of many progressives.
