When repeatedly asked WHY on his Twitter, he doesn’t answer. None of the quoted articles on his page say why either.
Pac12 has schedule a press conference in an hour
SEC looking at the B1G and pending PAC announcements...
One of two reasons I could see this being the issue. SEC board only has a couple independent advisors, so the non-independent ones have their schools agenda in mind, which is to play. Second reason being SEC/ACC are majority MAGA land and we all know how MAGA kids feel about COVID, hence their decisions are being led by this initial belief about the virus.
Will be online somewhere. Look on Twitter.
Legit question. Bubble up and pay them.
Minor league football is definitely in our future. RIP College Football. (It is probably time)
Drew Magary: College football should die forever
There’s no better time to kill off college football. Forever. On Tuesday, the Pac-12...
Sports Leagues are looking like morons for even carrying it out this long!!!
The PAC12 Basketball programs need to plan for a Bubble Environment ASAP
Same goes with the Spring Football planning. No way this can happen at home stadiums.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about this paper
Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Recently Recovered From COVID-19
This cohort study evaluates the presence of myocardial injury in unselected patients recently recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

I think the primary criticism he's probably hinting at is that the study is not of college aged COVID patients.
He also seems to be hinting that other viruses can cause myocardiial inflammation.
No matter what he's intending to argue; he's falsely characterizing the cancellation decision as solely being based on that paper. Additionally, if he's not directly citing the study and doesn't lay out his argument, it's a pretty good indication it's a haphazardly formed argument.
All sports are postponed until January 1, 2021. That includes basketball.

Bunker down everyone. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, bubble wrap your homes, wear masks in your cars and within 100’ of anyone you see in public if you have to go out, we’re all going to die in 2020.
“We care about safety!!!”
Liars. You only care about liability, if they could absolve themselves of liability they would be on the field.

'The Rock' Buys XFL in Hail Mary Attempt to Keep the League Alive
Dwayne The Rock Johnson stepped in at the last second to save the XFL from another loss. With just hours to spare before the once bankrupt league went up for auction, Johnson and RedBird Capital purchased it for about $15 million with hopes to get it up and running.

COLORADO ATHLETICS UPDATE Dear XXXXX,We have always stood Shoulder to Shoulder through whatever challenges we have faced. I know this pandemic has had an impact on each of you and your loved ones, and I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy right now. As you are now aware, the Pac-12 Conference, as well as some of our peer conferences, has made the difficult decision to postpone fall sports. That decision specifically impacts the Colorado cross country, football, soccer and volleyball programs. We understand how difficult this news is to hear for our fans, donors and alumni, and we’re likewise hurting for our student-athletes who were eager to compete this fall. This decision was not made easily, but in light of current virus trends and the uncertainty around potential long-term health impacts of COVID-19, it was determined that this is the best course of action for the health and safety of our student-athletes. The University of Colorado Athletic Department has always and will always place the health and safety of our student-athletes as our top priority. This unprecedented time in our history is no exception. Your support has been the key to our ability to provide our coaches, staff and student-athletes with the resources necessary to provide a world-class experience for the Buffs. We are committed to continuing to provide our student-athletes with academic support, access to medical care, comprehensive mental health resources, sport performance and nutritional support, as well as access to leadership and career development programming. These areas are critical for maintaining this world-class experience we always strive to provide. We cannot let this time derail all of the incredible work and progress that we have been able to achieve in these areas thanks to your support. However, our revenue losses will be significant. We have taken many steps to minimize our losses by implementing salary reductions across the department for this fiscal year, eliminating almost 100% of travel, and reducing operational budgets. These steps have helped us stave off some difficult choices, but unfortunately this latest decision will impact our staff, and therefore our student-athlete experience, more severely than what we have already experienced. Our financial challenges will be immense, and we will work hard to mitigate those challenges. Thank you for your continued support of our student-athletes. We will continue to communicate on our efforts to conduct winter and spring competitions and any potential spring seasons for our fall sports. We look forward to a time when we can be together again at the foot of the Flatirons. Respectfully, Rick George |
****. The tone in that letter, specifically the end, is not good.

FIFY
$1 Billion dollar loan already secured by Pac-12 to help fund school AD's, payable over 10 years at something like a 3.25% rate.
This is my favorite part of this post.
Thats $83MM per school. I’d be very tempted to retire some existing debt with that money. A lot will depend on what kind of revenue they can generate in the Spring with both Football and Basketball playing simultaneously. Might be a lot. Might suck.
this had to happen this way, given how all this rolled out. the cynics say it was all about money and liability. i think that is a narrow view, but undoubtedly key to the decision. more broadly, the spectacle of university presidents at tier 1 academic universities ignoring the medical advice and facts in order to reap billions in revenue from the labors of unpaid young student athletes is a bit much to ask. it violates the mission of these universities fundamentally.
now, my new favorite question: does the ncaa grant immediate eligibility transfers to players who want to go play in the $ec?

When you typed what is quoted below were you characterizing the other side's argument or not?I never posted an argument
