Everyone seems okay with having 30k students and faculty back on campus in the Fall, but they're worried about football being the "perfect setup" for spreading COVID. Makes sense.
Fauci: Football needs 'bubble' to play in 2020
Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that football players would need to be isolated from others and tested regularly in order for the 2020 season to be played.www.espn.com
Sadly I think we are headed for a fall with no college football.
Ugh. This changes daily/weekly. Two weeks ago it was a foregone conclusion there would be a season.Fauci: Football needs 'bubble' to play in 2020

Who’s everyone? As far as I can tell, schools want to reopen to preserve academic and athletic budgets. Health experts have expressed much more cautious viewpoints.
Cal announced today that they will have limited in class instruction with most classes being online. Any food services will be take out only. All students will be allowed to take online classes. No reduction in tuition or fees.
This is a more responsible approach, although the tuition/fee deal is really ugly.
The voices for football being the bigger culprit seem to be louder than anything I've heard about cancelling on campus instruction and students living in the dorms.
No tuition reduction would be a tough pill to swallow. I can see a lot of students (and parents that are paying) deferring enrollment, especially freshmen, I know I would consider it.
I fear having students on campus. I think you have to try, prepare as you can, and be ready to call an audible if necessary.
Places that are reopening are seeing their COVID-19 hospitalization rates going up. Bad decisions being made in other sectors of society don’t justify making another bad decision in this one.
Yeah, every day I think a season is less and less likely. Luckily for college football there will be a test going on with nba games
And none of those places are going to shut down again. What is happening right now all over the country is actual proof that decision makers don't really care about COVID infections anymore.
Oregon disagrees with you. Some ****ty decisionmakers in some states doesn't mean all states will follow.
Not saying everyone is going full Texas or Florida, but there are more states moving forward with opening than not.
'Merica. Things change too.
I’m talking hospitalization, not simply positive tests. The states that are putting their heads in the sand will have to reconsider when their hospitals become overrun with COVID-19 patients due to their current mismanagement. Again, exisiting poor decision-making isn’t an argument in favor of additional poor decision-making.
Lot of Texas mayors say hold my beer.
There are states, as you know, with rising hospitalizations and rising positivity percentage.
That was definitely a possibility in my mind as well. Will tailgating be permitted?
It’s not about tearing though, the concern is the growing number of positive tests since they got back. Even with consistent testing and quarantine it is still growing.
no surprise, but I missed the sarcasm too. I read your post as "I thought it inevitable that a few big schools would open up games beyond 50% and after that most other P5 schools would follow suit"
I'm old, please use the appropriate sarcasm font (remind me which one that is again?)
Of course it's still growing. Did people think it was just going away?
