The 2020 College Football Season

Come play in the SEC for a season. We pushed our start date back till last weekend in sept to have as much time as possible to get this right

I wish the B1G would use the time afforded them but they've seemed to want to be on the forefront of not playing football this year.

More than anything, I'm just pissed that the Clemson game will be our lasting memory of Buckeye football until the fall of 2021.
You don't think they will have a Spring season in 2021 with vaccine? It wouldn't be the same, obv. The best players would not be available due to NFL tryouts. Don't know how legit the talk about it is, but it's out there. Then a few months off and back to football.

"“You could be a perfectly healthy 21-year-old,” he says, and after a couple of weeks of recuperating from the virus at home, you’re getting back up but still have some shortness of breath, “and four months later find out that you got scarring in your lungs. And that’s not going away.” He calls it “the virus that keeps on giving.” And not in a good way."

Injuries are part of football, not so much contracting a potentially debilitating virus.

The good news is if you don't play football you are immune from the virus. :roll1:

Millions have been forced to hunker down in their homes, lose their livelihoods, yet the virus persists. The notion that cancelling everything will "flatten the curve" has proven to be false, but let's keep trying it anyway.

Are you denying significant numbers of 20 - 29 y.o.'s are coming down with serious cases of covid?

Whether they contracted the virus among the snow-capped peaks of the Alps or in the heart of the outbreak in New York City's borough of Queens, some 20-somethings are getting sick from Covid-19. And staying sick.

Their stories are a warning from millennials to millennials: Don't play the odds with coronavirus because this disease could permanently damage your body."

States' case totals have spiked once they reopened. But I'm talking about the players' safety.

I think we are saying these cases are the exception, not the rule.

Tell me this, how are students at OSU, not in the exact same situation? Why aren't they cancelling all in person classes?

In no way am I not taking this serious, I have a very high risk child, we take the proper precautions for our family....which is what everyone else should be doing. Protect the most vulnerable, everyone else get out there...wear masks, socially distance and live your lives.

That's a slightly less gung-ho position. Of course, many football, baseball and basketball players have become infected. In fact, at least one (Cardinals player) has to sit out the season because of a heart issue caused by covid.

Whenever we think we have the demographics or logistics figured out, covid finds a way to cause significant doubt. This is a brand new, highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. Not a single game of football has been played during the pandemic. It could be that if CF were to be played this fall, only a few players in the whole country would get just mildly sick. Or there could be deaths and "long haul" cases.

Same with students returning to classes, although it will be easier to make distancing accommodations for them, and there cannot be distancing while playing football. Campus life will be very strictly limited this this fall. For instance, in California, there will be no indoor lectures in the 38 counties on their covid-19 monitoring list.

It seems like some folks are too anxious to send the already-exploited players into harm's way so they can have 3.5 hours per week of a diversion while watching safely from their home.
