B1G: Teams Will Remain In Helmet Only Practices; Season To Be Canceled?
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
STL has missed 2 full series just the past week. The Marlins had 14 out. The commish said if there are three teams or more NOT playing he is shutting it down. They have only been playing 3 weeks. I will be shocked if they finish a 60 game season. So the jury is still out on MLB success. Stand by....
The season wouldn't be cancelled because of possible maybes, the season would be cancelled because the MLB has proved that even with all the best intentions and safety protocols in place, you can't keep the players and coaches safe.
The only way this works is if college football does what the NBA is doing and put everyone in a bubble together. That obviously won't work with the size of rosters, staff, and support staff involved with each team. So it comes down to looking at this in a couple of different ways:
1) For whatever reason, it's not working in the MLB but things will just somehow work out in college football...which makes no sense.
2) Some season is better than no season with the understanding that there will be inevitable spikes in cases and games will get cancelled.
3) With all that is going on right now, is going forward with a college football season really a good idea?

Unfortunately postponing the season to the spring, after both the MAC and Mountain West recently made that decision this week, is more of a reality now. Prepare yourself Husker fans to sit and wait another 6 months.

If I was a Power Five AD and felt differently than these two ADs, then I would be talking to other like-minded ADs and letting the press know that the majority of ADs don’t share those same sentiments.Unfortunately postponing the season to the spring, after both the MAC and Mountain West recently made that decision this week, is more of a reality now.

The delay only makes sense considering possible legal ramifications. Additionally, imagine an away game, team flys back, upon return suddenly a half dozen who were on that plane test positive. Here in Nevada those exposed are asked to self quarantine for 14 days. If that protocol were used in Nebraska to limit spread of Covid who suits up for the game the following week.
You know I always wondered about all the people on a plane you'd have to contact if someone ends up positive. Then I saw a story that said they only notify the people two rows up and two rows back. Guess they figure that's as far as it will spread.
That's why they built in flexibility with the schedule. Nobody thought there wouldn't be starts and stops to the season, which is why their schedule made a lot of sense. Of course, now that just seems like they did it to get our hopes up only to completely disappoint us 3 days later
Football players are already suffering serious injuries as a direct result of football at a rate 50 more times than that of Coronavirus which is just as likely to be indirectly as directly related to football.
I would add Nevada/Las Vegas I think is doing what I would consider a really good job following prevention protocols especially considering the petri dish that is Las vegas. Masks in public places, restaurant seating limited to 4 to a table with tables removed to create 6 foot distancing, 14 day self quarantine post exposure requested, sanitation stations at businesses upon entering, bars not serving food closed, bar tops in restaurants closed .etc. With these in place our cumulative positivety rate was 10.3 % as of Aug 6th 2020. These protocols in place in this petri dish resulting from tourism i.e. a valley in excesss of 2 million in population, larger population than the entire state of Nebraska and especially Douglas County. A gentleman posted earlier that Douglas countys rate was 11%5 dropping to 10.2% essentially the same as Las Vegas. It would seem logical to me if Douglas County, with its limited popuation and much reduced tourism, would put in place similar protocols ( probably with the exception of closing the bars as we all know how that would not sit well in Nebraska) they could easily reduce that number significantly.
My older brother used to win a lot of arguements debating by making up numbers and then his opponent never asking the source.
