Would there be football if this wasn't an election year?
Yeah I'd be a bit intrigued if he'd end up going to a game down south to watch his kid..
This seems more like an out-of-control monopolistic company than a problem with frivolous lawsuits?

If you're expecting them to stay in this controlled environment for the semester just drop the facade of them being student athletes. They can pull it off during the summer, but once classes start, there will be no isolation possible.
There are serious reforms needed in this area but we'll just have to leave it there for now. Limiting frivolous lawsuits is absolutely limited government. Now whether you need an EO or better judges/system who knows.

yeah, the people rooting for no fall football will now go after winter basketball then spring football then ...
If anyone plans on living life this year, some will get sick. Really? you don't say.
Congress taking away an individual's rights under the 7th amendment is the biggest government anyone can imagine.
If anything, football would have been cancelled quicker if it wasn't. The only political pressure i've seen here to cancel or not has come from the 'let them play' side.
Cmon Big 12!
This could be big for ISU if the Big 12 moves forward and does so successfully. Would be a lot of eyes on the conference and could lead to a lot of great exposure with a damn good team.

Maybe in the days before Disney took them over but they don’t have to reach for anything anymore.
That doesn't really apply because none of these are common law lawsuits. But I'm no lawyer, that's who we are complaining about here.
Yea, a hell of a lot more people will get sick this year than a normal year because COVID-19 is way more dangerous than the diseases we normally deal with. COVID-19 has already tripled the amount of deaths from the flu in a typical year, and we're not even 3/4 of the way through the year. It is not only more deadly than the flu, but also spreads easier.
Should we all just ignore it and live life like normal? Estimates are we would see 2 million dead from COVID in a year if we had zero mitigation efforts. How many people should die from COVID-19 so we can watch college football?

THEN CANCEL ALL IN PERSON CLASSES IF ITS THAT BAD. But we won't see that. Some of these guys are chasing their dream of being pro athletes.
Absolutely, this would really help raise the Big 12 profile. And if we play it may the last nail in the coffin of the Pac 12. The Big X would be hurt but be ok.
I still don't think there's anyway the liability is lessened to a point they are comfortable. Foregoing the millions and millions involved with football would indicate the potential liability has been determined to be enormous. That doesn't go away by this winter.
ESPN stands to lose massive amounts of money this fall without college football. It wouldnt surprise me at all to hear they were on the phone right now with big 12\ACC\SEC leaders offering to give them additional money to go ahead with the season
