Too late to transfer for this season. Plus cancelling due to a pandemic doesn't seem to be a unique hardship that would warrant a waiver.

@Buffalumni is right. This is all about liability, and that's nothing more than a fancy way of saying its all about money. That's what I've been saying. If those concerns weren't there, it'd be full steam ahead. Hopefully the other three conferences do this as well.

we will see.
But nebraska still plays (itself in a scrimmage). Claims national championship. Scott Frost playing the long game here.
Has this joke already been made?

No, I was mocking everything going on in the world. Look elsewhere for your internet “argument.”
I think it is really only a matter of time before the ACC, B12 and SEC follow suit. They’re all talking a big game now, but when push comes to shove, nobody wants to be the conference that had a kid get killed or permanently disabled from this.
And yes, I totally get the hypocrisy - kids who play football get killed and have permanent disabilities all the time. The difference here is that Covid isn’t a part of the game.

I know I’m right lol.
For sure. If finely tuned athletes are contracting a cardiovascular condition as a result of C-19 with unstudied long term health effects, it doesn’t seem wise to indicate that we should press ahead with more infections.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).jamanetwork.com
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.

I find it funny that last week college football was money hungry assholes who don’t compensate those who take all the risk. But this week they’re deeply concerned institutions willing to put the students safety ahead of profits.
and some of you believe that

We already know that University presidents don’t actually care about athletes. Their billion dollar goose goes away without the facade of amateurism.
They’ve had time to address liability. It was an issue I wrote about in this thread 30-40 pages ago. The schools chose not to address protocols to eliminate their liability until now. Now we get a likely cancelled season.
BTW, the $EC and ACC should tread lightly with this idea that they’re going to play. One outbreak would spell doom and mega gajillion dollar lawsuits, especially now that other conferences aren’t playing.
Nebraska is definitely on the play side.
He doesn't even drag CSU's ****show into his body of evidence.
Drew Magary: College football should die forever
There’s no better time to kill off college football. Forever. On Tuesday, the Pac-12...www.sfgate.com

You and I know that-but there are still posters on here who don't get that. Look at the conversation around Larry wanting to turn the Pac 12 into the Spring Football league du jour for 2021 even with everyone else trying to play in the fall.

Its also naive as ****. Nothing changes until the CFP and everything associated with this sport starts making less money than like every other NCAA sponsored event does.
If you read the tweet updates, it mentions that the ACC looks like it's in lock-step with the Big 12 just like the Pac-12 has been in lock-step with the Big Ten. If the Big 12 cancels, the ACC will probably cancel as well.
what a ****ing douchebag.
hey kid who isn't paid, good news you get to possibly die so we all make money. **** you, kid.
holz has always been a horrible person but this is borderline satanic.
Playing college football is probably more important than it was to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation.
Dumbass leprechaun. Comparing playing football to the greatest amphibious assault in the history of the world.
Frankly, I hope the SEC goes forward (and Big 12). Then I hope the players opt out. There's a lot more going on here than fat ass fans wanting to tailgate when they aren't watching NASCAR.
I for one have pretty much lost all interest. I opted out of the fall season tickets and asked for my money back already. Basketball ain't happening this fall either.
I look for college sports to return in fall 2021. Risks are too high until the vast majority have been vaccinated, and that's a year away I think.

you probably kneel when they play the national anthem, you filthy traitorous other-looking bastard!
WTF is wrong with people.
Spot on. Make no mistake, if they try to play, they will be lucky to make it through week one of the season before there is at least one major outbreak on a team. Sharing a locker room and spending hours with their faces inches from each other on the field make this inevitable.
