The answer is of course not.There’s not going to be a college doing in-person classes by the end of September. The question then becomes: do you keep the players on campus and allow them to play? In reality, the only way a season happens is if there are no students on campus besides the football and basketball players.
Is it worth it to do so? You still have to have staff around to maintain the places where they’ll be living, eating, etc.
My feeling is that the Power-Five people will make out very well if they play a televised schedule and reap the rewards therefrom. That is aside from the philosophical question of whether to play or not. Financially they will do OK.There’s not going to be a college doing in-person classes by the end of September.

I have friend in Admin at Wake and he was telling me about tuition insurance. He said that the number of parents buying it this year almost tripledThe answer is of course not.
But all those checks are non refundable and government backed.

Tuition insurance?I have friend in Admin at Wake and he was telling me about tuition insurance. He said that the number of parents buying it this year almost tripled
No, it goes to the person taking it out. The insurance is issued through third parties not the university. There are restrictions, get kicked out for disciplinary reasons etcTuition insurance?
What?
so many things about the world I’m oblivious to.
That $$$ is guaranteed to the colleges though.

Could be; could be not. It's not as if everything published is indisputable.Not surprised.The United States clearly does not have a handle on coronavirus-19, with now 173,618 deaths, far and away, the worst in the world.
True. But, you have to go with what's available.Could be; could be not. It's not as if everything published is indisputable.
Even if the numbers are off. by 25%, that's still a lot of people that have been lost. At some point, there has to be a number that is more than the public can accept. The first wave I am willing to forgive. However, this second wave didn't have to happen. We all have been selfish. Progressives had no business out there in May and June with all the protests. Conservatives have been too eager to get back to normal for fear that Conservative politicians will be blamed. We all have fallen short. Hopefully, the light will come on for everyone at some point and we can listen to the experts for better or worse. If they are wrong, we can blame them.Could be; could be not. It's not as if everything published is indisputable.
It's not only our numbers that are not indisputable - and it's not necessarily our numbers that are the least indisputable. But I'm having a boffo life. And I have lived it and will live it to the fullest for as long as I can. That's optimism, not selfishness.Even if the numbers are off. by 25%, that's still a lot of people that have been lost.

I refer the gentleman to the response I gave some moments ago.True. But, you have to go with what's available.
It is selfish because you are making it all about you. Let's say that you have had the virus and was asymptomatic. Let's say they could trace someone getting sick and dying back to you. Would you be cool with that? I know I wouldn't be. So, I am treating this thing like a cancer diagnosis almost. Whatever, the doctors say I do until they tell us we are in the clear.It's not only our numbers that are not indisputable - and it's not necessarily our numbers that are the least indisputable.

I'm sorry not to be able to bring comfort to your troubled soul.It is selfish because you are making it all about you. Let's say that you have had the virus and was asymptomatic. Let's say they could trace someone getting sick and dying back to you. Would you be cool with that? I know I wouldn't be. So, I am treating this thing like a cancer diagnosis almost. Whatever, the doctors say I do until they tell us we are in the clear.
It's as if the general public has just become aware of how viruses work. Being "out and about" is not selfish. I would venture a guess that a majority of cases are passed because folks feel invincible in their paper masks and dirty gloves. Basic hygiene folks.It is selfish because you are making it all about you. Let's say that you have had the virus and was asymptomatic. Let's say they could trace someone getting sick and dying back to you. Would you be cool with that? I know I wouldn't be. So, I am treating this thing like a cancer diagnosis almost. Whatever, the doctors say I do until they tell us we are in the clear.
I understand. I'm just going by the data available. Alan Greenspan TODAY referred to "the failure of the U.S. to effectively deal with the onset of the Covid-19 crisis". All I'm saying is that, as a result, what's happening at UNC is not a surprise. Consequently,I suspect that UNC will not become an isolated case.I refer the gentleman to the response I gave some moments ago.

Just do like the obama administration did with the swine flu..stop counting and life goes onEven if the numbers are off. by 25%, that's still a lot of people that have been lost.

Nor would I, but not necessarily for the same reasons as you and Mr. Greenspan. God bless.I understand. I'm just going by the data available.

I respect that view, even though I don't agree.Nor would I, but not necessarily for the same reasons as you and Mr. Greenspan. God bless.
As bad as that was, it’s nothing compared to our current deal.
I know because we can't adjust our lifestyles a little bit. Conservatives always talk about the talk of Covid will end once Trump wins in November. My question would be if Trump wins, would we deal with it then?a 3rd wave is likely coming.
Yea, what did Swine flu have? 12,000 deaths in the US over the course of a year? Lots of grasping at straws when it comes to Covid not being a big deal.

You mean because they have a schedule. Players practicing etc ?I love that we are still pretending there will be college football.
If I am looking at examples that hit close to home, meaning that I personally know and regularly interact with the person:Very sadly, a coworker of mine (what I would call a bit of a COVID denier) told me today a dear man at his church died of COVID over the weekend.
when something hits close to home, it has a way of changing your mind.
