Yup.  Better to have attempted a season and lost it, than to never have attempted a season at all.

I'm paraphrasing someone or another, of course.
well, if the season would have turned out to be a super spreader across the nation like some feared, it would have been better to not attempt it, but obviously this not not the case

Just like in our secondary schools, the vast majority of college-aged transmission is coming from the students engaging in risky behavior outside the school walls, outside the locker room, and outside the field of play. 

We were never going to be able to stop them from having house parties and sharing beer bongs and drinking tequila shots out of one anothers' ass-cracks.  But the sport itself was never going to be a major spreader, and even the fans in the stands don't appear to be contributing much to the spread.

Like we've been repeating for 8 months now, maskless indoor gatherings are the most risky events.

I would guess large indoor gatherings with masks is the 2nd most risky event

Do you have evidence?  Has anyone bothered to contact-trace the 18,000 fans from a football game?

Contact tracing is huge right now.

Exactly.  And he caught it.

I was particularly talking about the players, coaches, and staffs
The BIG didn't allow 18,000 fans

but, if a few of the 18,000 fans at an SEC game went to the Doc and tested positive, I would certainly hope they would do contact tracing and figure out if it came form attending a game.
The Doc I see would have done this
but, I'm in Big Ten country

Nick Saban is positive and will miss the Iron Bowl. I wonder if there are players too. I would guess so.

I would have guessed this would have been more binary, either very few teams get it, or nearly every team does, not this something near the middle.

He made a claim that games aren't spreading the virus.  So he'd need evidence.  

You're asking me to prove something I haven't claimed.

some teams are much more careful than others or it's just pure luck

the two teams in the Big Ten that seemed to want a season the most, have so far been mostly lucky

obviously, that could change any minute
