I would love to see Cy Fan's reaction if JP's reaction to criticism about our facilities and coaches pay not keeping up was "Hey, you never know when a once-in-a-century pandemic might hit and we can't play."

This does a good job explaining why the unique economic environment of college athletics has created the beast college football has become.

It just Gunner over-extending his "we didn't handle the pandemic right, it's all over, shut it down, we're paying the price now" shtick.
Ebola, legionnaires, SARS, etc... LONG list of worldwide disease outbreaks but this - shutting down countries - is a first.
How can you have a coherent plan for something that has literally never happened before: A complete and total shut down of almost EVERYTHING?
Let me help you.

dollar is about to crash and investors with money and a brain are running to commodities...but yea all is still ok.
A huge chuck of Pollard proposal included a big increase in donations and investing by donors and venture capitalists..

Pandemics happen all the time. I guess if they happen all the time then we shouldn't need a stimulus and we don't need to extend employment benefits any longer. After all people should do a better job planning since pandemics happen all the time. Gunnerclone has become a complete joke.
The mods need to give him a timeout until the pandemic is over.
Now why on earth would you ask someone with a 'narrative' already established with 20/20 hindsight questions like that? I can guarantee you this: whatever he responds with will, most likely, be fabricated because no one knew how to proceed.
The thread should have ended right after this post. Nicely done.
@Gunnerclone , I've always sorta been curious about this answer as well. I assume it's way better than what most people get.
