This was bound to happen...The telling thing is what actions you take after. If you are going to cancel practices/games after each occurrence, hard to see how a season is possible.

I have no confidence that the HAIC not to cave into the fear mongering. Football teams annually suffer through flu outbreaks on teams. No discussion of cancellation during H1N1. One day we will look back and wonder how and why we were so manipulated.

I promise that's not what we will look back on and wonder.

People need to understand this is about liability.


A Georgia state QB just stepped aside with a heart issue from Coivd-19.

All the players are "we want to play'' until a couple gets sick and finds out they have might have long term issues.


It will become a lawsuit city for the schools.

I also wonder how C-USA schools even pay for this.

It was reported by 247 Sports' schools will be paying 70-110 per test and CUSA will be requiring schools to test everyone three times a week.

Football teams have about 200 people associated with it from players to coaches to other support staff.

200x3x70-110 per week?

It's more money then what our entire TV contract pays.

Don't get me started on liability. Liable for catching a virus? What's next  . I Think I'll sue god for my  skin cancer. God help us. There is risk in everything. I guess different people look at things differently. Your first line about the promise….too late. Millions are already wondering if we are being played. Not the existence of a virus. The reaction to it. Can't wait till the end of the year . Hopefully there will be a new news cycle

"Millions are already wondering"…hmmm… a certain political cult maybe, a new political online cult maybe????

Nearly 180,000 DEAD American citizens on our HOME SOIL, over 800,000 dead worldwide, 5.5 MILLION infected in America alone.

That is all!
