The SEC is trying to form a super-conference with the ACC and Big12

The bold is true for just about every vaccine there is. Plenty of people with weakened immune systems are able to be vaccinated anyway.

Does it help them?

To maintain some normalcy in our lives?
To me, if the risk starts being too great anytime during the season, then cancel it.

If people are saying not have the season bc of a virus then my question stands lol. Football is just as dangerous...

 

[Jravol78]

It's deja vu all over again.

The virus starts up North and West, and people down South are like "No big whoop! We'll be fine!".
Now look where people are dying in droves.

Then football was cancelled up North and West, and people down South are like "No big whoop. We'll be fine!"
Guess where people will be dying in droves this Fall.

There's no fixing stupid.

Please anoint that fool Clay Travis (Betting Handicapper / Epidemiologist) as your "CV19 Hoax King" for life, sit back, and watch it all burn down.

I can’t say if I agree or disagree with this post MP. You make a few points but I do not agree entirely , mainly that “people will be dying in droves” from COVID alone with no preexisting conditions complicating their condition . I also don’t thinK that the SEC having a football season in limited capacity or no spectator venues will move the needle on deaths attributed strictly to COVID19.

I did notice that you reference the fact that “Dorothy Mantooth is a saint”. I think that all of VN can agree with that statement !

 

[Joefoxx]

Fine with that. How does it save the season that's supposed to start in less than a month?

You're exactly right, the top 50 football programs are going to form their own deal. Sorry Vanderbilt, Tulane, Rutgers, Wake Forest and others. This will be a league governed by their own rules.

This may just be a move for regional play between these conferences without the conferences that have already tapped out.

 

[allvol123]

Absolutely, what's the issue? Ever been a parent?

Poor thing. Your weeks of working daily on posting how football wont happen, is evaporating before your eyes.

 

[SteveG]

Bubba Gump Shrimp! If PAC 12, Big 10 & others play politics and bow out,... the SEC (and others who remain strong) get all the gold.

 

[cgrish]

Why? I thought the goal was to play a conference only schedule? What does it matter what the other conferences are doing if you play a conference only schedule? I thought that was the entire point of it

I thought the same thing, sec play if we are the only conference playing, it certainly could do nothing but good for sec if that happened. We don't need the other conferences to play if we only playing sec games this year.

 

[cgrish]

What I believe will end up happening is that all football will be cancelled. No university or conference wants to be the one to get a player killed for profit. It would permanently ruin their reputation in the nation and media. Recruits would begin to look elsewhere to play college football if they feel like the conference doesnt have their back.

Imo they would want to go where they get to play. Most of the players want to play. Sec plays it will just strengthen the conference.

 

[cgrish]

Honest question: How is it ok for schools to bring students back to classrooms, but sports are too much?

It's called political decisions. Imo there is a greater chance of a player getting seriously injured than being hurt by covid

 

[Wireless1]

Because students don’t tackle each other to the ground on the way to class.

Where did you go to school, happened all the time

 

[cgrish]

As a public health official still presumably with a job and regular paycheck, do you understand all of this "we need to be absolutely 100% certain no one will ever get infected by Covid-19" approach has destroyed people and will continue to do so until some reasonable balance is reached?

Those who are making decisions to shut things down should have their pay check stopped and see if they see things different.

 

[MSCE09]

If they are cancelling football over a respiratory illness that seems to not have a huge risk for 20 somethings, how do they continue with clearly documented risk of CTE?

 

[cgrish]

But This:

On the other hand if you are thinking about the players health and safety then just cancel football permantly.

 

[cgrish]

Covid case totals down to its lowest since June 26th!

Deaths lowest in three weeks!

LET THEM PLAY

You certainly don't hear this on the liberal news media.

 

[johnsonbrewer]

You shouldn't say that too loud. They'll hear...

 

[cgrish]

If people are saying not have the season bc of a virus then my question stands lol. Football is just as dangerous...

How many football players have died from covid?

 

[theFallGuy]

Dude, air is what you breathe, fingers type.

congrats on catching my grammar error. Mama must be proud. My point still stands

 

[theFallGuy]

How many football players have died from covid?

0.

 

[FBtime]

Good news

 

[chrismc1000]

How many football players have died from covid?

That's a stupid question considering it has nothing to do with my point...

Coach Spurrier called a few minutes ago. Said the SEC and ACC should just play their seasons and winners face off for national title because one conference was going to win it anyway.

This may just be a move for regional play between these conferences without the conferences that have already tapped out.

The Big12 are liars. They only have 10 member schools. They lack equal footing with the ACC & SEC. The SEC & ACC should dictate terms. If the B12-2 don't like it, they can join the "G6" in the post-covid-19 world.
