Hahaha okay Vlad... 30 Males under the age of 19 died in the  whole country (only 11 of color other than white) . Go vote Biden and Harris... such a cuck. I assume you wear a mask in your car too and demand people be arrested for not wearing a mask??

You really want to make this a political argument after the absolute failure of leadership in this country relative to other developed nations hit by the same pandemic?

We'd have a much better argument to have football right now if your dear orange leader didn't call covid a hoax for the first 3 months to DrUMB up his base.  We are the only country that managed to politicize masks and social distancing - and that came from the anti-science wing, conspiracy crowd on the right.

We'd be in the same situation as Europe, where they have returned 80% of their normal daily activities - while still taking the appropriate precautions in an attempt to control spikes. From the magical thinking of the virus just "disappearing",  to the promoting of snake oil false cures in news conferences, it's your orange cult leader and sycophants that fucked this for the rest of us.  

Now the collective "we" need to be "brave" and hope there are no lingering effects and put unpaid college athletes at risk because you need your football?  Your lack of critical thinking skills, magical thinking, and delusional sense of American exceptionalism and entitlement are the problem. 

The virus doesn't give a shit if you're on the left or the right, and even putting the short or longer term potential health issues aside, the amount of liability the universities would be taking on here is absurd.   

The mental gymnastics required to believe that a career conman who has completely mishandled the virus from day 1 is not at the root of the problem is Olympic level stupidity. Sure, blame the university presidents that don't want a decade of liability lawsuits or the conference commish for listening to those around him because it suits your blind loyalty to a career conman. And congrats - you totally owned the libs! - so much so that the fall UM football we love was cancelled.

It means way more than this year.  If an elite recruit looks at the situation, they can't count on a B1G or Pac12 school to provide the right kind of football platform going forward.  By default then, do both conferences damage their competitiveness for years to come ... and maybe forever.  Look what the RichRod / Hoke era did to Michigan football.  

If the SEC pulls off a healthy, real fall season the B1G is doomed.

Mark it down...The Big 12, SEC, and ACC will NOT be playing a full football season, or anything even close to it. If MLB, in what is essentially a non contact, socially distanced sport, cannot contain the spread, and play 1/3 of their usual # of games, how will guys who spend hours upon hours lifting, in drills, facing each other on the line play after play, and being tackled, contain this either, and play 83% of their usual # of games? And these are pros vs 18-22 year old amateurs living in dorms. Do you know what that age group does when they are away from the field?

I can't believe the delusion that is going on in our society. Only a dumb dog digs the same hole twice. And fails to admit they are wrong time after time.
