Commissioner Greg Sankey: SEC still considering full football schedule
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said the league is still considering a full slate of games, even in the wake of the Big Ten and Pac-12 announcing conference-only plans for the fall

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING, RIGHT?
At this point I cannot believe anyone is seriously considering still having a full slate of games and a 'normal' college football season. WOW. Sankey must be desperate for cash.
There are too many variables and issues beyond coaches or any college administrator's control for college football to go on as scheduled. We haven't even started football practice yet, had coaches on the field, or had scrimmages. Having any school reopen for on-campus activities and having students come back risks not only the students BUT the OLDER faculty. In regards to football, it's not just the student athletes but the OLDER coaching and ancillary staff that are at the highest risk. Sure, they get paid, but the risk doesn't really add up as being worth it honestly for either group. Not to mention all the starts, stops, quarantines, and disruption that is bound to happen during the season for most teams. I think we're just delaying the inevitable...Heck, if we can't come to a consensus that everyone buys in on and figure out how to control the virus among the general public (even though most other countries are doing just that for the most part) then we have no business trying to put college kids through our 'experiment' for the sake of revenue.
There is no vaccine and won't be for many months or even as long as a year down the road. And according to the CDC, we've already had at least two to three times the number of deaths in this country in a span of 3-4 months from COVID than we had in the entire 6 month 2019-20 flu season. A 2nd and 3rd wave is highly likely with many more deaths to follow in the Fall and Winter.
Is the risk really worth it? Or we this naive or simply have blinders on?
Ludicrous.
Its dame shame we dont have any kind of handle on this virus . America is so so **** concerned about money that the leaders put it b4 lives and try to justify it. Every big country has it under control but us. Why is that? All we had to do bk in the spring was shut it down for a month or 2 but the selfish ways of this country has us looking like fools with this virus. There wont be a full season and there shouldn't be as it is right now.
