    More partying at a a Party School than at home. More relevant if on campus than spread across wherever they live. Closer to the sports program.

    I don't think teams will flip over a positive test whether it's a real positive or false positive.

    They expect them and are prepared for them.

    Teams have already had numerous positives and most probably have a few players in quarantine right now.

    SEC, Big 12 and ACC didn't move forward thinking they wouldn't have positive tests. They obviously know they'll have positive tests.

    They moved forward believing they can work through it while also providing great medical care for those players that do test positive.

    Ok.. positives or false positives.....teams are prepared to deal with them.

  • JayDogJayDog Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Yes @Kasey the admin will have a problem. False positives mean players are quarantined that shouldn't be and false negatives mean the virus goes unchecked within the program. Either way, the admin will have to face the criticism of spreading the virus or they will have to deal with unfairly stopping participation. Either way, the public look and potential liability means strong motivation to pull the plug on the season. That is just stating reality.

    @texdawg I'm sorry about what this virus and the response is doing to people you love. The hard part is without a community to support schools and their football program, they would not exist. I'm just saying that we are in this together no matter what side of the debate we may fall. I pray for the lives of so many people...that we could find a way to let the football season happen. And I pray for the lives of others who might be affected by the spread of a virus. They too have every reason to want to protect loved ones from it. The individual decisions of people living in a community do not happen in a vacuum.

    Teams have not been dealing with it during the season when they are interacting (facemask to facemask) with other teams outside their bubble. As for their preparation scenarios--infectious diseases don't like to cooperate with our scenarios. Nor do worried parents and greedy lawyers.

    I hope for everyone's sake the season happens. I guess I'm not looking forward to seeing what occurs if the season gets cancelled. I'm dealing with too many broken people and it is not pretty. 🙏

    Seems we both want the same thing and are on the same page.......

    You are just really concerned with the what ifs....while I'm extremely excited about what can be.....

    Just two different approaches.

    If the season ultimately can't happen.......there will probably be disappointment but understanding.......canceling without trying.....well that just sucks.

    The good news is that this infectious disease has very little effect on healthy young people.....VERY little. Keep them away from the vulnerable and all should be fine.

    And the college teams are wearing the extra face mask protection for helmet to helmet concerns.
