They will go to 10 different places in a few days where they can pick up covid, including class. Why does football matter so much as far as safety? Kids move into dorms today and hit the meal plans with 100's of other kids. How is that safer?
That's been my thing for a long while on this. If campus is open, why is football different than the general risk to the student body? If campus is closed, then aren't the athletes better off in a controlled setting than on their own at home? There are may be some reasonable answer to these, but I haven't really seen any answer. I think the right approach would be to bubble the teams and staff and limit the in-person stuff on campus for other undergrads. Too late now, Sodexo needs that money.
