[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was an interesting article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexreimer/2020/08/10/college-football-players-arent-safer-playing-football-doctor-says/#1aad686c62c5

[b]I’m a big fan of Trevor Lawrence and I agree with him that college football could theoretically be safer for the players virus-wise than sending them home to their communities. But that would require setting up the kind of bubble environment that has been successful for MLS, WNBA, and (mostly) the NBA. That’s not likely realistic.[/b]

For now, my kid who plays soccer at a Power Five school is living in a single in a hotel, along with his teammates and athletes from other teams. Their meals are delivered, and they are all getting COVID and antibody tests this week. The current plan is for them to begin small group practices (10 kids max) in a couple weeks with tons of protocols in place. They will be tested every few days. When school starts, they will live in the same dorm with their pod of 10 in adjacent singles and will continue to have meals delivered.  The team rules will be even stricter than the school rules re socializing. They will pretty much be in their rooms if not in a lab or at practice. Putting aside the cost, if this could be done for every football team in a conference as well, and there were a way to ensure compliance, I think the season could be reasonably safe even given what a close-contact sport football is.

Yes theses people should be grateful. They would not be able to take care of themselves without the guidance of the NCAA. This is why we do not pay them. They would spend the money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest they would just squandered. We have to get these student athletes back to playing now. Maybe with holding those valuable scholarships would get these ingrates back to work...I mean school. 99% will be paying in the pros![/quote]
