Hard to say but we shouldn't shut down our economy and our way of life to deal with this virus. Maybe if it was a combination of Bubonic Plague, Ebola and Smallpox.
Well I don’t think this is about the Economy. I think we should do all we can to ensure people can get to work and get their Businesses running, and people can get back to earning their pay checks, wages, etc, all with following the CDC guidelines to mitigate COVID-19 Spread. So I am not for closing down the Economy even with this Summer 2nd surge of COVID. Have Businneses up and running, if they violate the CDC COVID-19 protocol, fine them just like you would if they violate other health and safety laws. So I am in agreement on the Economy with you.
However, College football is not the same, we are still talking about 18-22 year old college students. While I love College Football, it has always been my favorite Sport, the illusion of amateurism while true, it is still legally and amateur sport whereby Pell Grants and Educational aide from the Feds and States provides funds for students to first and foremost get a college education, not play sports.
So the legal risks or legal exposure angle is what I think is driving this? What are the long-term issues related to COVID-19 if a Football players gets it and 20 years later we find health issues that shorten life expectancy. Could a similar thing like the Concussion issue with the NFL happen and Colleges, and if State Public University, face Legal exposure???
