Trevor Lawrence made a good point that I really agree with. If universities were not having students on campus and going to class in person, then I would agree with the shutdown of the season. However, they aren't. It's hard to say that playing football is going to expose these guys more than any other normal university activity. I wish that these college administrators would get their principles aligned. Either all students matter and there shouldn't be any in person classes for anyone, or they should play college sports just like they are conducting their normal activities.

I would think that the act of tackling (or being tackled) for 3 hours does expose them more than someone who doesn't play a sport. Obviously, there is no social distancing on the football field.

That said, I think they can give it a try. There will be some bumps and may be a wild ride, but I think it can be attempted.

But if you're tackling (or being tackled) by someone for 3 hours that's tested negative multiple times in a given week, has been closely monitored and following recommended protocol just like you then does it really expose you more??

So we just absolutely have to push forward playing a game of no real life consequences? That’s just a given?

You are right that football itself is not a big deal. I’m speaking more to a more aggressive “reopening” of life.

I’m not calloused to those who will suffer, but there comes a point to where you have to pick your poison, because locking down the country continually sucks and people getting sick sucks. Guy who works at the deli up here just ended his own life. Five months in and there are still huge restrictions up here in NY

Bring Nebraska and Iowa on down. They want to play. Don’t let those two schools suffer because the other 12 don’t want to play.

Absolutely. Let's join up. They want to play, the ACC wants to play, lets add those teams who want to play to the SEC and ACC for one year. Whoever wins the SEC side plays the winner of the ACC side for the National Championship. Those schools will profit millions while the scared little crybabies up north and out west go bankrupt.

Did you drive out there or fly? I can't remember. We are looking at flying into SLC and then driving up to Yellowstone.

We drove..you could fly to Denver and start from there for the same price as SLC. Be warned..the weather in Yellowstone in October is extremely iffy. You may do like we did in mid September 17, and sit there twiddling your thumbs half of every already short fall day you are there waiting for them to open the roads. It really screwed up our trip that we planned and saved up for two years.

The people I've talked to said if you go after about October 15th you're "playing with fire" because the weather is really crazy.

Yes! I bet OSU and Michigan still want to play. Put them in the ACC so Clemson has to play at least a couple of ranked teams this season. Of course, knowing the SEC, they'll bring them in here and give them to us while GA and Fl will get Iowa and Nebraska
