Just my opinion, but I'm willing to bet dollars for doughnuts that the season starts on schedule. To that end, I think the players and coaches should get at least 3 extra weeks to make up for the spring and summer.
Nothing I have heard, just guessing. Would assume we get to make up those spring practices in some way. That will probably be left up to each school when they want to make those up. I think it would be a good idea to just add those onto the beginning of Fall camp. I don't see a point in practicing for a month, taking a month break, then starting back up in the fall.
Their president is almost as big of a dipsh## as their governor. I hope she gets her *** sued off for the way she's handled some things there. She treated the whole state as if they were urban Detroit.
Why? Don't you understand the science behind keeping people from buying paint and shrubbery, and how it can save your grandma's life?
I agree with this. It's possible that giving a team with fewer spring practices more practices in the summer could have a negative effect. Kids are kids-- 90% of them are gonna hate the idea of getting to have an extra 10 practices in the summer regardless of what they profess to their coaches or the media. There could be more burnout by the middle of the season. More injuries perhaps?
NFL teams are doing virtual install right now. Not sure college teams are doing the same, but wouldn’t be surprised if they were in contact on a daily basis.
Agree, I doubt coaches, players and incoming recruits have been sitting out their coaches eating cheetos the last 3 months. Im guessing they have had work out routines they needed to keep up with if at all possible. Plus have copies of the playbook that they should have been learning and memorizing. Plus as you said players and coaches could have zoom meeting ect as needed.
That's kind of my fear as well. In fact there's virtually no risk to the players from this virus but that won't stop them from shutting things down.
exactly and I've got news for the CDC. You're not going to stop it unless you post an armed cop on every street corner in the U.S.
I agree about the staff. The staff CAN be young and healthy. There's thousands of young people out of work right now. You supply the staff with necessary PPE and roll with it if they want to work. My wife is over 60 and she deals with infected patients every day. It can be done safely but the workers have to be willing to follow the rules with probably goggles and masks depending on their jobs. We're going to have to have a sh##load of good masks for workers one way or another. I kind of have to laugh at the masks I'm seeing employees at restaurants and HyVee wearing. They're really not doing much. IF you're old and at risk it might be time to take a step back for a while. Good heavens IF we can keep grocery stores open we sure ought to be able to keep a university open.
I have little doubt the the season starts. This is my concern, what happens when you start seeing players, coaches, media member get this. Most of these people work in close proximity of the other. It is going to be almost impossible to isolate the 1 or 2 sick individuals fast enough to keep if from spreading through the whole team. When that happens no team is going to want to play against the sick team. Even if the whole team doesn't get, it is going to scare enough that they won't want to play them. So I then see things starting to shut down when enough players and teams become infected. My guess is we won't make it past week 5. Unless of course this thing really fades out over this summer/ fall.
