    You know

    Hundreds or more non athlete students at all these schools are going to get sick, and dozens will have severe lifelong conditions as a result, so that they could have football

    Good job america

    They should br cancelling or setting up remote classing for the fall, so its not like its just the football playets they dont care about.

    Yes it's long past time that the rest of the students sacrifice their bodies for the enrichment of others thru televised sport.

    I think the idea is they couldn’t have sports if they didn’t have students on campus, hence the students must be sacrificed along with the players

    EDSBS Charity Bowl is approaching 300k. I think last year's records was 180, so this is pretty ridiculous.

    I can neither confirm nor deny that I took the opportunity to get a cheap rugby dig in.

    I can neither confirm not deny that I did the same thing last year etc.

    Ohio State dumbass (but I repeat myself) Justin Fields wants to petition the Big Ten to play football this year.

    In unrelated news, the University of North Carolina has shut down and switched to remote classes after an outbreak in the student population.

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Charity Bowl results ($450,000 overall):



    Michigan fails to get Slippery Rock into the top ten, so that's the obvious goal for next year.

    I’m going to assert my rights as a dumb and obnoxious OSU fan (thanks, dad) and claim Fields as a Buckeye for his production and allow Georgia to claim him for being a dumbass

    Alabama to allow fans at games.

    Per cnn
    The school announced that approximately 20% of the seating capacity at Bryant-Denny Stadium (approximately 20,000 fans) could be filled, but school officials have prohibited tailgating on campus

    So it's safe to play football at UNC but not to go to class? Goddamn I hate everyone involved in that decision. Shut it all down.

    That is the line at the moment. Probably not sustainable, but America is pretty fucking dumb.

    There are some qualifiers like no non-family audience, but yeah... the schools are not and cannot support the same level of testing as the professional sports that are continuing...

    'Fire' Lane Kiffin thinks players at schools that won't play should be able to immediately transfer to schools that will play.

    In unrelated news, the University of Mississippi has the potential for spots to open very soon!

    It's the most unsurprising thing that that he bailed on FAU ASAP.

    In an actually related story, 13 players tested positive at the University of Mississippi today.

    Fall sports and college in general are going to be an absolute shitshow.

    It's all getting cancelled and everyone online / sent home by Labor Day.

    The old joke is that Alabama looks to Mississippi and says “At least we’re not them!” And Mississippi looks to Bama and says “At least we’re not them!”

    So there was a phone call today between Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren and Trump. It is stated as productive.

    Warren doesn't have any power here. It's the University presidents who voted, and the vote was 11-3. Also they're all currently fucking things up in their reopening. Except MSU might have their shit together for once. And you know how much it pains me to say that.

    Gotta say, watching college coaches repeatedly try everything they can to override their university presidents and not see any sort of repercussions really highlights just how much power football has over these places of higher learning.

    Also makes the Pac-12's unity on this whole thing more amazing.

    The question I have is, did this actually happen, or did Trump merely say it happened because he thinks it's good for him politically?

    Big Ten confirmed it happened, but they also pointed out that "more tests" does not solve the myriad problems they have with starting a season in the fall.

    We are only at day 2 and knowing a lot of what's going on with testing...the only reason we aren't a shitshow like everywhere else is everyone is playing hot potato on the numbers.

    If UM is in person next Tuesday I'll eat a hat, the following monday...well you can have my mask in Ann Arbor tradition.
