There was a discussion today on ESPN that casts doubt on fall college football...

this year. Caleb Farley, a top recruit detailed his fears at practice with an example. He detailed how several of his teammates went to a weekend beach excursion and came back to practice the next week without anyone knowing if anyone was positive with the virus, with no one being tested by the school, no one was wearing masks, not to mention social distancing...I mean how do you do that in football practice or a game? You don't. Farley has decided to opt out for the year because his uncertainty of his and others safety in such environments.

And with many programs reporting multiple players testing positive for covid, I don't see how there will be a fall season which means millions will be lost to colleges as football brings in big revenue that supports many of the other activities and departmentson campuses.

A spring season may be possible if a vaccine is developed. There is hardly a possibility of a successful NBA-style bubble with all the colleges all over the nation and the number of people involved in a football program that would have to be bubbled.

College football will probably be put on hold for the near future at least.

1. That is the problem, young people feel they are invincable.

A friend told me our campus town area was packed over the weekend with no mask in sight.

3. Good.

The last thing we need is to spending money and risking lives for stupid sports. Let’s have all these student athletes spend a year having to concentrate on the education their scholarships pay for. It’s good for them, and good for a sports-mad society that could use a wakeup that we don’t actually need a constant stream of sportball from teams that blackmail cities and states.
