#145StackinGreen,
I see the point you are making.
Well written too. You obviously put some thought and time into it.
But I'll note a couple things worthy of discussion in what you wrote....and this is meant respectfully and in the spirit of "friendly" debate/discussion...
You saidThe mortality rate for COVID-19 is waaaay higher than the common flu
Planning for the worst is of course an individual's option, but it doesn't make it a good option. And this isn't your action that is all on you and you only have skin in the game for. You are (it seems) supporting a shut down of almost (80%?) the entire economy. That's not planning for the worst, that's stupid. And for an overwhelming majority of people, it is extremely harmful and won't be fixed. And again, for a virus not that significantly different (or better!) than what we deal with annually.Comment -
#146It's up to the school presidents. If the presidents don't open schools for students there would be no sports.
Trump said today that we will be counting bodies until August. There is long way to go from 4,000 to 240,000 dead bodies that Trump is predicting.Comment -

100,000s die every year from the flu. Sheesh, 80k died in the USA in 2017. No one does his homework on this so I have to be here so others listen to reason and not propaganda. It is hard, people always want to use their primitive brain and not take the time and effort. Please listen, this is about freedom vs. the world's control, and it won't end here. There is more coming down the pike now that they've seen the lemmings line up so faithfully.Comment -
#149He knows it'll be just fine and then will claim ("We did such a great job!") when the count is small.

but get this: COVID-19 is hospitalizing and killing people under the age of 60 !!
when was the last time you heard of someone being hospitalized by the Flu who was under the age of 60 ???
and put on a respirator of which only 20% survive and 80% die !!!!!!
flu vs covid 19 is apples and oranges. get educated. free your mind. become someone bigger and better and smarter than you are.
most importantly: wake up !!!!Comment -
#152So now seeing speculation that the NCAA will play a fall/winter schedule of games and then a spring schedule of games and have a 9-game schedule. This seems pretty likely and probably pretty successful.Comment -
#153
so in the fall if it's a 9 game sched then it starts in OCT like i predicted, Yes?Comment -
#154Not sure. I was not interested enough to follow but would basically push the season into March which is also something the NFL would probably do. Something like a split season or maybe just push the whole thing back to Feb/March.Comment -
#155
i googled it but cannot find anything. what is your source?Comment -
#156
I saw it on Twitter somewhere and did not look into it. They want to allow players to come back and play games in empty stadiums but do not think that is doable so will push back the season until the spring and play the playoffs in May.Comment -
#157i dont think we will see college football in the year 2020 at all.Comment -
#158Who the hell's this clown, why not cancel two, thee years in advance while your'e at it.Comment -

#160Packerd

Herbstreit and the rest of us are guessing here and quite frankly just using good old fashioned common sense.
i bet you did not think the NBA, NHL, MLB and march madness would all be suspended/canceled, did you???Comment -
#164The NFL doctor was pretty clear today. Until society returns to normal the NFL isn't playing.Comment -
#165Kirk Herbstreit should sit on his hands for a while?Comment -

#168you don't understand. there are so many logistical things. getting the players and coaches together in one room for meetings and then getting them enough weight room time and practice time, etc. all this while trying to make sure that all players and coaches will be tested and pass those as negative

#172dabo swinney "zero doubt" college football returns on time and will have "packed stadiums"
Comment -
#173you don't need to have a friend who works in the league to tell you that. we ALL know that. money is everything.
true story: i have a buddy from childhood who is now an asst GM for a MLB franchise and i told him on Monday 3/9 that his season is most likely going to be suspended. he was not so sure. three days later on Thur 3/12 it got suspended. he works IN baseball but i knew more than him.
all it takes some good ole' common sense.
Well said.Comment -

I want both to play without fans. We will be
used to not seeing or being around each other by then. Just use the same background they use when trying to make everyone watching the Boca Roton bowl think it’s a big bowl game when no one is really there or gives a damn.
I agree with both above comments.
Seems logical both leagues will at least TRY to have a season.
But as I opined in a couple previous posts,
without a vaccine first, what happens after several players
on multiple different teams gets infected but initially doesn't know he's infectious?!
It can take up to 10+ days for symptoms to occur.
By then he/they may have inadvertently infected dozens of others,
and many of THOSE won't know they have it for up to 10+ days,
whilst also spreading it around.
Then they all begin getting sick. Bad sick. Bedridden. Or worse...
Keep this in mind when they begin the seasons - with or w/o fans in the seats.
Test all athletes first, you say ?! And isolate those who are positive?!
OK, sure.
But a test doesn't prevent the "tested-healthy ones" from contracting it the next day!
Or the day after, or during the next game!
A test isn't a vaccine! It just means that player has not yet contracted the virus.
Not yet.
But that can occur at any time.
If I was a bettin' man, I would take a bet ON "the NFL WILL try to begin in 2020" for $1,000
And -- still assuming no working vaccine during season -- I would take another bet
that they "will be forced to prematurely end the season" for $5,000Comment -
#175mostly it's elderly people over the age of 75 who get pneumonia which started from the flu. the flu does not kill 200K a year in the USA. one year, the 2016/17 season, it killed 80K, but that was an aberration. it is typically 20K to 50K per year. the true cause of death is pneumonia which developed from the flu. the flu did not kill them - something worse did.
2) This won't, and hasn't, killed 200k, which in and of itself means nothing, which I have already stated (thousands of other things kill far more people per year weirdly you won't talk about those)
3) the true cause of death for covid isn't covid either, for most people. it's that they are on death's door with multiple chronic diseases thus they get covid otherwise they'd beat it like most healthy people (and just like the flu)
but get this: COVID-19 is hospitalizing and killing people under the age of 60 !!
when was the last time you heard of someone being hospitalized by the Flu who was under the age of 60 ???
and put on a respirator of which only 20% survive and 80% die !!!!!!
flu vs covid 19 is apples and oranges. get educated. free your mind. become someone bigger and better and smarter than you are.
CNN ain't cuttin' it for you. NPR either.
I guess I'll go back to medical school 5 more times for fun, to be "smarter"Comment
