Eh, is that even college football at that point? You've eliminated all of the reasons I prefer something other than the top-level of the sport

I'm not sure it is. More just throwing out there possibilities of what would and wouldn't be worth the effort. It does throw out most of the league, but gives the teams that really want to play an opportunity to have some semblence of a season.

As we all know, “following science”
Is a lot like getting “ expert witnesses” in a court case. It’s only science if it provides confirmation bias

It appears to me the Big Ten has figured out that if the other conferences find a way to play this fall, the damage to the brand will be severe and long lasting. They are actually doing some planning now around a potential spring season. That is at least a glimmer, compared to the fake bone they threw out there at first.

The "science" of this pandemic appears to me full of holes and questions. We're really talking speculation.

I'm speculating a lot of late.

Report on Facebook from Jeff Snook, who styles himself some sort of Buckeye indepedent journalist, that some teams are trying to cobble together a season.

With the wholesale shift to online learning, and MSU telling their students to not bother coming to EL, how many withdrawals are there at the Christmas break? The money is in for the first semester/quarter, but the bill hasn't gone for the rest of it.

Purdue set an enrollment record this year.

Has UNC shut down their football season? I didn't hear they did (yet). This would be very odd if it happens, I think. Worth watching? We mostly will of course.

It's interesting...

"We've carefully evaluated the science, set plans and processes in place to keep students safe, so we look forward to welcoming our students back to campus for in person learning!"

One week later: "Uhh, please go home, students. But be sure to tune in to Tarheel Football this fall, because we've carefully, uhh, evaluated the science, set, uhh, plans and processes in place to keep athletes, uhh, safe. Yeah, we totally mean it this time!"

I guess I got the sense from your tone you were not in favor of that level of shutdown, but that might be me scanning and mixing up your posts with other folks'. If that's the case, I misunderstood.

I'm not in favor of that level of shutdown, but it was completely predictable, as so many focus on "cases" rather than actual sick people, especially among this age group.

So, knowing that everyone was going to focus on cases, knowing this level of shutdown was inevitable, I find it duplicitous for universities to convince students there will be in-person, on-campus learning, and then shut it down as soon as the checks clear. We can go back to May/June where I posted on this message board, my prediction that this is exactly what would happen.

And this isn't unique to the two or three universities we've already discussed, I completely expect the vast majority to do so, including my own alma mater. That doesn't mean I believe it's appropriate or acceptable behavior.

And some internet "news" from the B1G? Six schools now trying to salvage the season? I sure hope all those people that were mean to Nebraska, go back and apologize!

But hey, if UNC puts their athletes at risk by continuing with football, they can at least now claim that they were not giving athletes disparate treatment--they played loose and fast with non-athlete student safety too!

(That excuse worked for their sham classes.)

I feel that.

Maybe it's just the short posts. I saw a few like it here and elsewhere. I suppose I wasn't reading into them the implied "if that's the standard to pull back," before the "they should've have brought people on campus to start." Because if you want campuses to be full but you're also saying the schools just should've not brought people back, that's at odds. And if you think that standard to go online only is too low, it seems like that should be the argument, not suggesting folks shouldn't have been brought back at all unless it's qualified in some way.

Anyway, it felt like some dissonance. If you want folks back on campus, that was done. So the anger should probably go toward the decision to pull back, not bringing folks back to begin with. Basically, we're mad at colleges now, and if they did what people are now saying they should've done, folks would be about as mad, albeit for different reasons.
