Sounds right. I just booked a trip on Expedia (Maui) that probably isn't going to happen (refundable until we're a lot closer to departure) and I didn't even see any option to purchase travel insurance for a few grand of potential liability. I booked it because it's no risk for now, a major deal if we manage to actually do it, and it gets my wife off of my ass about vacation planning for a few weeks.

That’s the best demonstration of risk management I’ve seen from this board to date... C19 related or otherwise. You sir, get it.

haven’t read past this yet, so my apologies if anyone already said this.


but seriously:
anyone that plans on playing in the Spring needs to quit using “player safety” as the reason fall ain’t happening.
Liability is the reason plain and simple.

No way you can seriously cite player safety and then propose playing two entire football seasons essentially back to back in the same calendar year.

Unless we also talking about pushing back the ‘21 season.
But once the $$ for those logistics gets racked on top those talks will cease immediately.

If you want to insure it, there’s an institution out there willing to underwrite it. There’s a reason insurance companies have re-insurance companies. Planes fly around with passengers of unknown origin everyday - they have to worry about COVID AND lower probability of the plane going down. That doesn’t mean anyone is willing to pay that premium. I just don’t understand how you send the general population back and then let players practice 20 hours a week. All of the risk with none of the reward?

Totally right on all counts. I’m sure that LoL would have written paper on it, but it probably would have taken a sizable portion of the endowment.

But yeah, send the kids back to school...

The only way they play in the spring is a Big Ten Tournament type basketball playoff over 6 or 7 weeks. You half the workload and still get all the teams to participate.
