The right Covid question,

The right question is not how many college football players will die from COVID-19 or are at risk of contracting the virus if the football season is played. The right question is how many more college football players will die from COVID-19 or are at risk of contracting the virus if the football season is played as opposed to if it is cancelled.

Some schools. I don't imagine several conferences would try to make it happen. But then we're already shedding teams for this Fall, so we're quickly approaching a distinction without a difference.

IMO if you can't play this fall then call it off all together out of the safety for the players because a spring season would be far worse on their bodies than covid.

I'm not necessarily advocating for a spring mini-season. But Fall likely isn't going to happen, and I think there are seniors who deserve a chance to play one more time, and giving a universal redshirt year isn't workable.

It will be impossible to move the Fall to Spring and expect that everything will drop neatly into place. Someone(s) are going to take a hit. I, like you, hope it isn't the seniors especially the ones (large majority) that have no future in the NFL.

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum spoke with Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer and shared his own opinion on what the NCAA should do.

“I think probably the best case is to put off any important decisions for three to four weeks,” said Finebaum. “… I think they’ll keep pushing, keep moving the invisible deadline to where, if the country is still in a freefall in a couple of weeks, then I don’t think they’ll have much choice but to then say, ‘We can’t do it at all’ or ‘We’re going to pause here and give it a few more weeks and maybe start in mid-September or late September.’

If you’re the SEC, ACC, Big Ten — maybe you just play conference games. I think the non-conference games are in serious jeopardy.”

The “invisible date” Finebaum references is crucial.
