How?

As I said months ago... Cut the season to conference only, 8 games.  Only play every other week allowing for a 14 day automatic quarantine between games.  Have conferences schedule their season on alternating weeks to enhance TV options.  If a player/coach/etc. test positive after a game then they go hide out for a while.  Returning to play would be dependent on an MRI (ultrasound?) showing no myocarditis or other malady's and a clean covid test.  85 man rosters made up of extremely low risk individuals would provide plenty of roster to have a team ready on game day.  We're not talking about trotting out the nursing home residents for potential contact.  We're talking about very, very low risk individuals getting no more exposure than they do when they're not playing, then quarantining as a matter of course whether they're positive or not after every contest. 

If only sports were apolitical.

No.  Still just stirring mud.  

Now figure out how to pay off your stadium loans with out going further into debt and you might have something.

We were actually looking to borrow some cash from our sisters up north, but then found out that they're flat ass broke.  The last I heard the governor up there was looking to sell a couple of his single wide mobile homes to make the payment on his double wide.

I still think you would often end up with too much of the team quarantined to play. For each positive multiple players and staff would need to quarantine.

And you'd have two weeks to deal with it.  Not a perfect season, but a much healthier option for student athletes than what the MWC is doing now.

Maybe we can do what the NHL does. Have a two (line), team rotation. Team #1 (30 man squad), plays game #1, then goes into quarantine while team #2 (30 man squad), plays the next game, rotating every other game, and then supplement each of those teams with "extremely low risk individuals", to provide fill-in roster support for each team, so they are ready to go on game day. 

There...whew... I solved it for everyone! :P

What is it with PAC12 fans, clutching their pearls, bombarding the board with COVID scare articles, and pretending that they are on some sort of moral high ground for not playing this fall (only because the State of California rules caused the PAC12 to cancel their season).

 

Can we all agree---at the VERY LEAST---to not post propaganda?

The kid who died was NOT playing football this fall.  He was NOT on campus, and arguably contracted COVID because he was back at home in a less safe environment, and not in a "football bubble" regularly being tested by his football program.  It's a shame he (and anyone) died.  But to pretend that he would have been safer is a lie---he wasn't even around football.

Jamain Stephens, a football player at California University of Pennsylvania and the son of a former Steelers first round-draft pick, has died at the age of 20 of COVID-19 complications.

Stephens had played the last three seasons at California University, which canceled this football season because of the pandemic.
