I agree most feel this way....But there is a small but very vocal minority that seems to delight in their gloom and doom predictions of spectator sports demise coming true.
My guess is the season gets postponed next week ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
Dude, time to get over being wrong. No one is going to apologize for being right.
“doom predictions of spectator sports demise coming true” wait! If we miss one season, does that mean they’re gone, never to come back?
254 current Div 1 schools that play football listed. if 40 athletes per school lose a scholarship opportunity that is now about 10,160 students who potentially lose an opportunity at going to college...
Yep.... all because this country is too stupid and selfish to have done anything about it. Other countries are just laughing at us. How can a supposedly "advanced" society not believe in science? It's hard to even fathom... but it's true. We won't listen.

Interesting, from Twitter, convergence of events is going to end fall football. I'm in the camp that spring ball is not practical

Power 5 AD just texted: “You and your colleagues are chasing the wrong story. The virus alone is enough to stop the season. But presidents are terrified of players organizing. It’s the paradigm shift to change amateur sports.” (1of2)
(2of2) “You potentially lose one season with the virus. You lose the entire framework of your mission statement with players organizing. They need time to figure out how to attack it.”

That is VERY interesting. Will certainly be interesting to follow that.
When you said "convergence of events"... I thought for sure you were going to bring up the convergence of thousands of kids returning to campuses all over the country and the flu season starting back up as well mid season. This has the recipe for disaster.
Imagine wanting to “attack” a group of people wanting rights to have a better life
I think this changes college athletics forever. If you don’t play now, there is no reason to think it’s better in the spring. Spring isn’t going to happen. That’s just a story people tell themselves. Odds of getting a polio like vaccine is really slim.
this is never going away most likely, so if you don’t play now, because they want no risk, I don’t see how you can ever really play again.
certainly you can’t play basketball or football in the spring

Agree, a vaccine with the efficacy needed to calm people down is not going to be here anytime soon. So the ability to live with the virus and resume collegiate sports in a non bubble environment is apparently not gonna happen. #iceage
Never play again? Now THAT's doom and gloom.

Texas Tech or Baylor coming to Ames in February would be amusing
Would be a shame if an electrical mishap happened with the visitors' heating
We were unable to provide heat blankets due to an unforeseen prior engagement.
I don't want a watered down spring season, which will lead to a watered down fall season. Just take the year off and see you boys next fall
