McNeese Cancelling 2020 Football Season and more

[Bankruptcyman]

Tulsa is a possible replacement.

Tulsa owes us a home game.

Ridiculous not to be playing now. How is it safer for healthy athletes to be out on their own, going wherever they want with whoever they want than to be in a controlled healthy environment playing football? None of this makes sense. The majority of them want to play and should.

Lawyers have now taken over the decision making process... Liability $$$'s...... Just one kid gets sick or God forbid dies... estimates of up to half billion in liability

As much as I hate to say it... There won't be any college football this year

If it was not safe for athletes to be on their own, then why haven't more of them gotten sick in between when they went home and when they returned to campuses? If you want to make the argument football is safer than going to class, then we can have that discussion.

I don't know if football is necessarily safer than going to class but I do think that if you can go to class and live on campus, you can play.

Some of them probably did have the virus and never had bad enough symptoms to get tested. But playing football they will be tested regularly.

I just got over the virus. Never ran a fever. Had slight congestion. Would have never known if not for losing my smell and taste. And I’m an out of shape 39 year old.

Totally agree. My point is those that say these players are safer on campus than at home.

Okay, yes, they will get tested more, but if they are not showing signs and test positive, what difference does it make?

The much more contoled environment of 19 to 22 year olds playing sports leaves much less time and opportunity to be in spots that are more conducive to catching the virus. Those are just the facts. They would be safer at school playing football than at hoe with all the idle time on their hands.

Then why didn't they all get sick before they came back to school? The facts to do not support this.

There’s no facts, only personal opinions. But without jobs college age people might have stayed in with their families. Once outside the family at college who knows what and who they’re with. I sure woulda been with any decent looking coed regardless of the Wuhan.
