I think this is going to pick up steam based off the news today.

The cheap rapid testing that will now be available is a game-changer that was not available last week.

With the FDA approving the saliva test that can be mass produced at $4 a kit, the paradigm has shifted.

The ACC/SEC/Big 12 is going to be able to go forward based on new testing. I hope the Big 10 reconsiders.

I've read about some kind of vote tomorrow?

That said I have no doubt this guy will bury the vote to save face.

I don’t think people understand what a development this rapid test is. The NBA has proved how effective it is, being able to test players, even multiple times a day. With the FDA approving it, and mass production of the kits (millions) we will be at a new point in this virus in several weeks.

Had this news come out 10 days ago, the Big 10 never announces cancellation. Now that they see Big12/SEC/ACC going to be able to go forward with a very practical plan, with cheap, accurate testing, the game has changed.

I really think we’ve got a shot here......

The inside story of college football's wildest week ever

Big Ten

Along with the data, the Big Ten had anecdotal evidence such as Indiana freshman offensive lineman Brady Feeney, whose mother had detailed on Facebook her son's struggles with COVID-19, which included an emergency room visit because of breathing issues and possible lingering heart problems. Several Big Ten coaches suggested the Facebook post significantly impacted presidents and chancellors as they decided whether to proceed with the fall season.

Just sayin': I hadn't heard that (i.e. OL Brady Feeney illness) before.https://www.espn.com/college-footba.../the-story-college-football-wildest-week-ever

And that sucks... but he's alive no? And how many else are like him?

I feel insensitive saying all this but it's everyone's choice if they want to play or not.

He's probably 300+ pounds so how does he respond different than maybe a 190 pound player?

I think the bigger question is, would the average person be safer or more likely to get Covid in an environment with tests daily.

I know which way I'd lean.

And that’s if you think this was about COVID safety.

I remain dubious.

They're not mutually exclusive though.

It's true the acerage football athlete is much safer playing college football, getting daily tests, and that by playing football, universities benefit financially by getting TV network money.

It's obvious kids playing football will have a huge leg-up in testing versus the average population. That's huge. Daily or even multiple tests a day??

I’m talking about the odd coincidence between certain leagues having players publicly unite and certain leagues cancel their season.

in terms of actual pandemic, the lingering effects scare me worse than the mortality rate to be honest but that’s another topic for another thread.

One further thing... she says football cant protect them. That's true.

Nothing can protect anyone from this. With that said I know which is more likely to protect people and it's not sending kids home.

I'd be interested how they found out her son even had covid? My guess is due to testing with IU.

So who's to say that IU didnt save that young mans life?

The symptoms were probably a dead give away that he had the virus.

Also, (you have to feel bad for the football player and his family) but the story is "a football player came down with serious COVID-19 illness". There is no way to know whether he contracted the illness at a football related activity or somewhere else. He could just as easily contracted the illness at some other activity and would have still had it even if he had opted out of football this season.

The probability he contacted it at a student event is more likely really
