Perspective. Practicing risk management, for me, is not cowardice. Have you ever been sued by another party? I have and can tell you our legal system is completely jacked up.
I am currently still involved in a lawsuit dating back to October 2013. My employee was driving a company vehicle when involved in a wreck. The other vehicle ran a red light and was T-boned by my employee. The man’s wife in the passenger seat was killed instantly. There’s more to the story about why he ran the red light, but my employee did nothing wrong AND the accident was witnessed by a police officer. Yet here I sit with an appeal still pending before the Ga Supreme Court, and a potential trial still on the horizon.
I am also party to another lawsuit which is believed to represent the first time in the history of the United States where a plaintiff was awarded damages as a result of an injury sustained by her own dog. That’s right. A woman was bit by her own dog and sued my business. My customer’s dog got out and was attacked by the neighbor’s Jack Russell Terrier. The owner of the JRT picked up her dog, which then bit her in the face. We were not even present at the time, yet because we had been there earlier and had the big liability policy we were included in the suit. Three years later, no negligence on my part but my customer was found liable by 12 idgits in Dekalb Co for his female neighbor being bitten by her own freaking dog. $150,000 jury verdict. Crazy, huh?
I’m all for reopening, but I understand there are real variables the leaders of these institutions must address.
Very interesting. The people down voting are the ones with an agenda. Sad.
Hahaaaaa! Jokes, guys.
Folks being afraid of "liability" is a cop out, period. These universities face liability concerns daily. You can sue anyone for anything now days.
Most of these universities have teams of lawyers, they are not that concerned about being sued, I promise you.
The real concern for them is their image and how they are portrayed, and believe it or not most colleges are predominantly liberal. There are some with political agendas as well.
Great post Tex!!!!
100% agree with everything you said!!
Concur.
Yep and ditto.
Are you talking about a virus that escaped a BSL-4 lab? Good luck controlling that.
Jenga...
Another piece is removed.
Everyone just be ready. You can keep taking things from people over and over and over and expect it ("it" means a lot of things!) to stay upright...
Hopefully.......somehow.......OSU, Nebraska and Iowa buck the system.......join the Big 12 for a season.
Would love to see the ridiculously liberal big 10 presidents with their mouths hanging open......what.....what....what......that's not supposed to happen.
Don't see how a team can just break a contract with their conference and move to another but.....I can see them playing other teams who conference has also "postponed" their season
How do know they are "liberal" ?
I read somewhere today that the rights are owned by the conference (at least in some cases) and survive a team leaving the conference. So Nebraska could theoretically give the Big 10 the finger for the ‘20 season, but it would eventually come back to bite them in a painful and expensive manner.
I could see the conference not letting them play at all but the ones who want to going ahead and saying sue me.....we are not leaving the conference just playing ball
This is the voice I heard when I read your post :)
