Questions:
— How are college athletes (being tested regularly on campus) made safer by not playing this fall and NOT being tested regularly?
— Do we suppose athletes accustomed to training/structure will be less exposed to virus with unsupervised free time on their hands?
— Are there more documented outbreaks traced to 1) training or 2) social activities outside the sports realm?
— Are we OK with potentially eliminating non-rev sports and thousands of scholarships they generate?
— Are we OK with thousands of athletic dept jobs evaporating too?
— Why do advocates of delaying football to spring trust the efficacy of rushed-to-market vaccines to combat the inevitable wave of sickness that will complicate the next flu season (December thru April)?
— Is there not intrinsic value to sports, primarily for participants who choose to play them, but also to cultural morale?
— Why should athletes (the healthiest segment of students) forfeit a year of high school/college sports for a virus that rarely damages their age group?
— Is the business of college sports any less essential than jobs in other commercial industries, all of which we hope to recover promptly?
