Do you think offensive linemen may be at somewhat elevated risk? What about the staff?

Oline with other heath issues and staff members of this age should opt out
the young and healthy should be allowed to play

Depends on the conditioning the linemen have. Most of the big fat guys are still in better condition and more athletic than 99% of the average skinny guys in the normal population. They might have a gut- but they are still super freak athletes. 

Don Brown is getting paid like $2 million a year to coach a silly children’s game. If they don’t want to wear a mask and collect the multi-million dollar checks maybe his old ass should just retire.

Texas @ LSU is gone as well.

But I don't think there will be a season for anyone, so it's pretty much irrelevant.

Well it took a pandemic, but you guys got what you wanted:  the SEC to play more than 8 conference games.

How is playing only in conference safer than playing OOC games with near neighbors?

This virus can't jump between teams in the same conference?

there is a concept or idea that conference rules will make the exposure risk similar across teams....  not sure how valid that will be in practice.


I do wonder why we are not seeing more discussion around plastic face guards/shields... like some of the players used to wear but in clear form...  to protect players from spreading particles directly at one another.

The NFL unveiled one.

JJ Watt said he'd sit out the season rather than play in one.  Hard to breath, getting fogged up, etc...  The old visors never used to cover the mouths.  But don't college hockey players wear full clear face shields?

I think it's easier to move in lockstep.  Rather than say MSU deciding they don't want a team from Florida to come up, but Miami saying they want to play, and if MSU wants out, they have to pay them the buyout, etc.

This way all decisions can come from the top.

I guess it's easier to schedule, I see that, but in terms of controlling the pandemic ....
