Wait, there are other health ramifications that occur from Covid-19? 

Wait, we have NO CLUE what the long-term affects are, because it's only been 9-10 months since this thing had been around???

Shhhhh, don't tell the FOOTBALL FOR ME, NO MATTER WHAT crowd.  They'll downplay it and call you names.

I don't see other poster getting called names. Just you. And that's because it's you, not because you have a differing opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes
I mean, I think if the best player in the conference made an eloquent stink, he'd get on some kinda TV, with or without a petition.

Nobody is stopping you from hiding under your bed in the fetal position.

We will let you know when it is safe to come out. Promise.
The equating bravery/being scared to all this will never stop being weird to me.

A point of issue I have with his letter is how he brags that they have taken a day to day approach, and were willing to continually modify their plan. But now that a decision has been made the disscusion over. No more day to day, no more updating plan. Just over.

And the overwhelming vote against it, doesn't seem so.

Nebraska and Iowa voted against.
OSU said they voted to push back the season a couple of weeks and others voted like them. Even if that's just one more school that gets to the 25% threshold, that doesn't seem overwhelming, just posturing.
His own son is playing. Do as I say- not as I do. Sound familiarity?

All righty trying to figure out what is still scheduled, as we tentatively have football scheduled in two weeks

Sept. 3rd: South Alabama v. Southern Miss, Central Arkansas v. UAB

Sept. 5th: AAC begins

Sept. 7: BYU v. Navy

Thurs, Sept. 10: UAB v. Miami, NFL begins with Chiefs v. Texans

Saturday, Sept. 12: ACC begins in earnest, B12 start nonconference play

Sunday, Sept. 13: NFL begins in earnest

Saturday, Sept. 26: SEC begins, B12 conference play begins

What do you do with a 4-0 BYU, that wins every game by at least 20?

National Champion BYU.

Also what if everything gets canceled after two weeks and UAB is 2-0 with a win over Miami?

If there's college football after September, I'd be stunned.

What are you doing? It's not safe to come out from under your bed yet. We will let you know. 

And doncha be taking your laptop under there either, as you can contract Covid in computervirus form.

You do realize that Kevin Warren didn't cancel the season, right? It was the university Presidents voting. I doubt Kevin Warren even got a vote. At this point he's forced to defend the conference's decision, publicly, whether he agrees with it or not. That's the "fun" of the job.

I know - people are acting like he made some unilateral decision without any input. While it's opaque how they are actually arriving at decisions, it's unlikely he's acting as a dictator.

Wouldn't be the least deserving BYU national champ
