Universities can not take this deal. No season. I read an article about the medical costs of a survivor of COVID-19. Granted he was in his 60's and was hospitalized for nearly 2 months. His short term medical costs were + $1 million. The $$$ it could potentially cost is much grande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Trumpian level conspiracy theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well... you’re right, it’s just football. And since it’s just football, seems apt to want extra protections in place for doing something frivolous like football, which these kids are being asked to do almost entirely for the enrichment of others.

KUGRDON Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Looks like they’re not being asked to do it. In a weeks time looks like there’s no season, these guys have lost their privileged athletes status (temporarily) and there’s no longer any reason to listen to them any more than to a second year accounting student. Mask up, 6 feet and good luck. Life comes at you fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yes, the cancellation of the football season would eliminate leverage (and the necessity) for a united player coalition demanding improved safety protocols for the upcoming football season. I’m not sure where this “gotcha” aimed at players is coming from? Revenue sharing and a hit on Larry Scott’s salary were always non-starters. This was always aimed at player safety.

It was never about player safety. That was moral pleverage. They were always safer within whatever protocols had been established than at home With their buddies With no tests, no supervision and for some, no place to quarantine and no access to treatment.

glduck Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Interesting. So just a straight up cash grab? Not a hint of any actual concern over potential long term health? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MLB ought to shut down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row Z Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 How long before the SEC tries to discredit Dr. Drezner's concerns about COVID links to myocarditis? Drezner is at UW school of medicine, by the way. Good look for UW and the Pac12 to have some grown ups weighing real health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really odd watching a senior citizen throw an internet tantrum because teenagers won’t endanger their health and lives to entertain him, for free.
