I am absolutely cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I’d rather ruin one season than two. I’ve already chalked up 2020 as a shit year. Don’t fuck with my 2021.
So what was the name of the guy who said it? Here is the clarification offered, which proves the use of “outbreak” was a very poor choice and not an accurate descriptor for what was meant: “We're going to have cases on every single team in the SEC. That's a given. And we can't prevent it." It’s possible to very good job of limiting the numbers of players getting covid and mitigating it’s spread. That doesn’t mean their won’t be cases in every single team.
"I'm cool with some kids having their lives ruined, as long as get my sports ball. My entertainment needs is literally more important than any of their lives."
Why is his name important? Are you disputing that it was an SEC medical official? If you think that quote supports your position, honestly, there's no need to continue this discussion.
How do you know it was a sec medical official? You don’t. It’s possible to accomplish my goal of mitigating spread. Testing and masking has proven that to be true. It’s impossible to accomplish your goal of guaranteeing elimination of spread. Come back to reality. Your no risk society doesn’t exist.
Come on, dude. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/08/01/sec-football-players-safety-meeting/?outputType=amp
Saw something in the Washington Post this morning that said CFB skews just as heavily towards the GOP as NASCAR does. Which didn't really surprise me
So here’s the potential calendar, if you want to lay it all the way out. Jan. 1-2: Big Ten/Pac-12 opening weekend. Jan. 7-8/Jan. 14-15: Big Ten/Pac-12 Thursday/Friday night games. Jan. 23: Big Ten/Pac-12 schedule goes back to Saturday. Feb. 6-7: Bye weekend for Super Bowl. Feb. 28: Final week of regular season. March 6: Big 10 title game. March 13-20: Rose Bowl OR National playoff. Late April: NFL combine. Late May: NFL Draft. Roger Goodell can, unilaterally, move the draft as far back as June 2, per the CBA. The hurdle they’d have to overcome is logistical—making sure they can stage the draft (and clear hotel rooms, public parks, etc.) a month after they’d planned to. I wouldn’t suggest that would be easy, but, remember, we have no clue if fans will even be able to attend, and this year’s draft is in Cleveland, a city full of Big 10 alums in the heart of Big 10 country. That would make one more party motivated to get this done. And that would make what promises to be the zaniest draft cycle in NFL history even crazier. In the lead up to last April’s draft, we all got fond of saying how there’d never be a year quite like that one ever again. The recent uptick in COVID-19 cases nationwide, and subsequent impact on the college season, looks like it’s going to prove that thought dead wrong. “You’ll be drafting guys in May 2021 that haven’t buckled a chinstrap since December 2019,” said one AFC college scouting director. “And think about it—so many guys were drafted this year due, 90%, to what they did their junior or senior year. Without that, we’ll have guys overdrafted, underdrafted. This year, everyone kept saying that you’re gonna look back at that draft, and that’s going to be the draft that you’ll study. “Well, last year, we got every piece of information as normal until the combine. We just didn’t get that last part. This year, every piece of information is going to be touched by COVID. You’re gonna have guys drafted in the second round that stink, and guys drafted in the seventh round that are studs. And the importance of your scouts? They’ve never been more important.” No one needs to wait to see if the Big 10 and Pac-12 can pull off the above to figure that out. The wheels are already turning toward a really unusual fall. In a number of different ways.
"it seems like some of these people are putting sports over peoples lives" "don't be hysterical thats insane" coach flies in -"oh yeah this is definitely more important to me than my closest family dying, 100%"
Tbf to FSU, I doubt they're the only school where players feel like this. It just hasn't come out yet.
I’m busy reading the irate comments on Noles247 that this is the reason why the players should be banned from social media
Of course this far more embarrassing and damaging path was the way the south would have its season ended
I can’t believe that a CFB powerhouse would skirt the rules to keep the money flowing! I never would have anticipated college football teams to flaunt the strict rules they told everyone about!
Norvell seems to be doing a great job gaining the trust of his players and winning over that locker room
I realize it was a blip on the radar but that Colorado State story was a harbinger. If a not good team in the Mountain West is discouraging athletes from reporting symptoms then how can anyone expect adherence to protocols by every athletic department in a conference when much more of a reward is on the line?
