My thoughts on this subject:
Sankey's comments lead me to believe that if the numbers do not go down, there will be no football. I hate that such a small group of people are so dramatically affecting the lives of so many with their fear-based decisions and regulations.
1. Keeping a a few thousand kids across the US off a football field is not going to impact this pandemic nor increase their chances of getting a virus that has proven to be of extremely low risk to their demographic. You can easily make the argument that being under the watchful eye of the University staff while retaining the discipline and rigors of football which is required of these young men will decrease their chances of getting this virus! 2. What is the cost of not having a football season? Does that question ever get asked? In addition to the financial impact to the economy as well as the Universities and their sports programs, which will be bad; what about the mental health of athletes and dare I say...fans. Sports are important, competition is important, normalcy is important, especially during these times! 3. Let the players compete, let them be in control of their destiny. I guarantee the overwhelming majority if not all of these student athletes, after being given the facts and statistics, will choose to compete!
We need leaders not cowards. Let's let the players anonymously vote. If 95% say play, let them play. The descending percentage can keep their free tuition and cheer on their team from the safety of their couch like the rest of us.
May God's will be done, not man's.
You can make a bet with Vegas, will college football be played this fall? Let the chips fall where they will.
