It's not about health. It's about liability in case a player gets sick and sues the school.

Bingo. We have a winner. The schools don’t want to be sued down the road and the NCAA doesn’t want the “student” athletes to unionize. The actual concern for the students well being is probably like no more than 20% of the equation.

I think the being sued angle is overstated in terms of athletes.  I think it comes down to PR.  They don't want to end up being center stage dealing w/ a mess and all that it brings.  I mean the microscope and reaction in today's world is an absolute shitshow.   Just being thrown into the meat grinder for  national talk likely is deemed not worth the negative consequences. 

You open your doors as a school.  You have COVID.  Simple as that.   Big time Div I athletes would represent the best addressed and safest aspect your school offers to anyone.  

and COVID remains to this date a political crisis in America.   Not a heathcare one.

Yeah, if these athletic departments sincerely cared about player health, they'd operate differently. 

Well the Athletic Departments have been gung ho. Its the presidents who just stepped in recently to make these decisions.

It has been handled as a political crisis first and foremost in America.  It should have always been handled as a healthcare crisis.  Because that is what it is.  

But even this many months into it.  It is still primarily a political crisis.  Which is why it still is kicking our tails.  And we are the one country that in reality should be able to handle a national pandemic the easiest given our resources.

I think our Geography and Style of government work against us.  Even though I think Trump has done a poor job. his power to enact the restrictions necessary is somewhat limited.  Its more up to the governors of the individual states to handle it.  Some have done well, some not so much.

Trump has actively avoided any restrictions and is the main reason why mask wearing has become a political issue. Had he not downplayed this issue from the get go and gotten his base rabidly against any type of interventions then maybe we wouldn't be in our current situation. I honestly think our pandemic looks a lot different under past presidents, including past Republicans. It's just that Trump absolutely thrives under divisiveness and actively seeks it out and then throws gas on the fire.

well, I don't want to get over political in this thread. 

I don't disagree w/ your statement.   But I still think the governors could of used real leadership from the top to properly handle this.   More should of been done on a national level and quicker.  Too much wishful thinking and letting folks handle things uniquely on there on.....and not enough national aid in getting resources and protocols together.

We are now waiting to see if the ACC and Big 12 follow suit.   

 

Regarding the original question, I hope the NFL does move them, assuming they play. 

I think the ACC and SEC will ride together more so than the Big 12 and ACC.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
