Auburn or Alabama-which one sends kids home first?

[Anonymous]

I have a feeling a lot of the pps are paying $70k in tuition for their kids to sit home and take classes on Zoom. They have a vested interest in proving that schools can't stay open.

I think more people are annoyed they paid for room and board only to find out that most of the classes are not in person and didn't get notice of it. So your kid can sit at home and take zoom classes and save the room and board or sit in their dorm with awful food kiosks and get citations if they step out of line.

First, that desert water slide video is amazing! Second, it was filmed in summer 2015 during a family reunion, pre-pandemic by ~5 years.

Looks like it could be Alabama but Auburn football team has been hit hard.

Sounds like a lot of people are hoping for kids to get coronavirus and force school closures so their own kids won't hate them for making them stay home unnecessarily.

They won’t go until someone dies.

I don't wish illness on anyone, but if Alabama, Auburn, and similar schools have to close, and other schools stay open, it might *finally* help people understand the need to consistently and strictly abide by all recommendations. These are places where people are not wearing masks, where they aren't practicing social distancing. I truly believe that we don't need to completely shut down the country, but we need masks, and we need the other measure, but at this point, certain people refuse to do these measure because THEY'VE decided it's political.

I hate that they are doing this.
All colleges should have been online this fall with a focus on opening in January. If one student dies at any college, the whole year is going to be over for every college.

Neither.
They won't go DL until a rich student or a football player or a coach dies. It will have to hit the people who "really matter."

I think that's mostly what it is. Many families had their kids stay home because they anticipated that the campuses would have to close and they didn't want the safety hazards and upheaval. If the campuses are able to successfully stay open, their child stayed home while others went to campus, and their child may resent the decision.

There was one parent of a child at home who posted something positive, and they were right...they were hoping it was a success so that their child could join everyone for the spring semester. If the campuses had to close down, that was it for the school year. Why all college-kid families aren't rooting for all the campuses to be a success, so their kid can get back to campus too is beyond me.

Alabama isn't going to go home. They're going to stay open, regardless of what happens. If some kid dies, some kid dies.
