Games without fans

Those 5 players, I believe, are asymptomatic which means they can’t spread Covid, hence why they didn’t realize they had it until the test.  I’d bet there’s way more asymptomatic people out there than we all realize.  
 

As to your point, yes I would much rather have kids out practicing together than continued lockdown.  There are more kids being domestically abused and emotional abused contemplating suicide then are being seriously harmed by Covid.  Flatten the curve was never supposed to be until there’s no Covid.

Exactly.

This is false.

driving into work this morning our local sports talk was talking about Alabama football....they had a practice of 50 players and 5 have tested positive for COVID...they were tested on Tuesday and had a workout all together on Wednesday(unsure but it sounded like a non-coached practice) and Thursday results were released...this kind of stuff will kill college football and shows why testing is not the answer and solves little to nothing....all 50 players are going to have to be quarantined

So they can practice together and not have to worry about anyone snooping around, sounds straight out of the Saban playbook... I'm kidding of course but serious at the same time. I would say if you are worried do not go, if you do go be cautious. We will know how serious this is in a week based on the number of protestors that traveled far and wide to stand arm in arm with each other as well as the Floyd funeral that was standing room only but for the most part we already know as every Wal Mart, Lowes, Home Depot or Target... If you are older or have underlying conditions you should probably stay away.

 
ESPN is finally talking about the problem...those contracts must suck for ESPN

Auburn had players test positive as well. Chances are pretty slim for college athletics in the fall. Unlike pro sports where that is all they do, kids who play athletics in college also have to go to class. Cant compound the issue. And this should not be treated as an "injury"

I agree...I wonder how many athletic departments we may see fall as a result

 
In order to start early Sept or late Aug, practices have to start in time, which is coming up fast. All it takes is one player on one team to test positive and then the entire team may have to be tested, possibly quarantined. Spirals from there. 

And forget about fans. I cant remember the # of people gatherings that constitute phase 1, 2, etc of reopening, but 80K is nto going to fly. Not even sure 10k would fly. 

Would anyone go to a game if only 5-10k people were allowed?
