Don’t want their players having a seat at the table and cancelled their season in hopes that they’d forget about it.

Can yoh imagine if some crazy updyke tried to get Covid and infect a team before a ug game?

Anybody that’s not insane could see that they are more safe in a controlled environment than back home.

This quarantine and insulating everyone from natural progression is a complete farce.
Then why take medications or treatments for anything? If you are ultimately going with a natural progress in order to build a stronger species, why bother treating children especially. Let the weak die so that the strong can reproduce to ensure better genetic immunities.
The fact remains that humans have not taken a “let nature run it’s course” approach in thousands of years.

The question is, did you do that on purpose or do you just have trouble keeping your train of thought from running off of the rails?

As Coach O echoed, these players are safer in the controlled environment they are provided by the university.
Of course they are, it's common sense and has been ignored in this for months. The cancel for the players safety is a nonsensical cover, it's about liability.
Now that the player safety façade is being exposed you think the college presidents are going to have to reveal the real reason? Think any of them will?

I have to believe it true that they’re safer in the controlled environment but the word “control” is what the players don’t want. These are 18-21 year old guys. They want to get their funk on. They do not want sequestration any more than they want castration.
Thus...
They get weekend passes and they go out and catch disease

Take it easy with the virtue signaling, Karen. Your pussy will stop bleeding in a few days.

I’m trying to understand your logic here. Why are they specifically more liable for the 85 scholarship football players than the 30,000 to 50,000 regular students they have on campus? Or are you suggesting that football players are more inherently at risk than non-football players? While I vehemently disagree, I am very interested get your take on that.
To answer your question of who is going to assume that liability, I would say the individual. They are adults, have access to the data everyone else does, and are free to decide whether or not they want to take whatever risk they think applies to their personal situation.
Remember when people use to say, “It’s a free country”? I heard that in an older(20-25 years) movie recently and thought, “Man, it’s been a while since I’ve heard anybody say that.”

As far as the student body goes, there will be policies and procedures, mask wearing,etc. in place I would imagine to navigate them through classes safely. I'm pretty sure even you can understand they aren't going to be tackling each other, breathing on one other, spitting and all that jazz from close proximity.

Geez, I posted the SI article on this a couple days ago and some admin deleted the thread. Goes to show, it's not who you know, it's who you blow.

If the "they" you speak of here are athletes, through the supervision they are receiving they actually have more data than everyone else and much more available access to it and toto medical care and testing and if found with it will be diagnosed right away and quarantined. There would be no guarantee of that otherwise.
