Playing in the Spring

I say play the fall or not at all...which I don't think we should. That hurts just to say it. But...think about the inevitable injuries that happen every year and the recovery times for some of the more serious injuries. Playing in the Spring would throw that all into chaos for the following Fall season. Say a guy tears his ACL in the Fall...he has the rest of the year, Spring and Summer to get ready for the following Fall Season. If that injury happens in a Spring Season. he is lost for that Spring and will NOT be ready for the Fall Season. Just a thought that crossed my mind.

It’s lip service to placate the overly lippy in their ranks. “Possibly” plans are easily abandoned.

How about we play 5 games in the fall (we'll be the only game in town), and crown a 2020 champion.

Then play the remaining 5 games (Phase II) in the spring, so the loser big 10 won't hog all of the glory.

Obviously this is incorrect in that there are a number of severe complications that could arise over the next six weeks (I fully expect that the ACC will push back until September 26th alongside the SEC, which would require adjustment of the present schedule and likely the dropping of OOC games which are still non-existent for several teams in conference) but, unless any of these severe situations come to fruition, I'd imagine giving the green light to play means that the ACC has decided the liability risk isn't a huge issue and that the season will ultimately occur.

If the ACC votes to proceed, it seems plausible that the SEC would release its schedule tomorrow.

Myocarditis is just the latest **** tht's been thrown on the wall by the fear mongers hoping something sticks. Herpes can cause it and we don't see a big push to get every guy and gal that is a potential hookup being tested.
The prospect of spring football is just a ploy to appease some of the masses for taking away their football. It's not going to happen because there will not be the money to make it happen. Given a choice between advertising for the Indiana versus Ohio State football game in March or Duke Versus UNC BAsketball who gets your money....and eyes?
The ones who play in the fall will have a season, and the ones who don't will lose recruits and transfers...and maybe their programs completely.

Partly true. If I am not mistaken... there is no such thing as asymptomatic flu. If you get the virus... you get symptoms. At least 30% of all Covid cases don't even have symptoms.

CDC has never demanded the level of accuracy for flu numbers as they are Covid-19. That would be fine if they explained it and did not contribute to fear and panic. They estimate flu cases each year using hospitalizations. Two years ago, 950,000 Americans were hospitalized for the flu mostly between November and the end of April. We did not shut down schools even though the flu appears to be more deadly to children than Covid. Our medical resources were not overwhelmed even though that is twice as many hospitalizations as we are on track to have for Covid in the entire year.

The estimated number of flu cases that year was 60-80 million. Though less than 10 million Covid cases have been confirmed, the actual number is 10-20 times higher according to several studies. Somewhere between 30 and 50 million Americans have probably been infected with Covid by now. Most blew their noses and went to work. One of the takeaways is that the larger number of infections means that the virus is nowhere near as deadly as originally thought. In fact, if you cut off the "peak" before any treatment protocols were developed... and compare what's going on now... it starts to look a lot like a bad flu season.
