Nope. The players dont have to play 2 seasons in 10 months. They can quit if they want. Also, there MAY be a vaccine available by Spring which COULD make a Spring season rather normal. He couldn't be more wrong.
Are we about to prioritize giving a potential vaccine to college football players ahead of other citizens of the country? It's bad enough watching professional athletes get Covid test results back the next day when everyday people have to wait upward of 2 weeks.
There very well maybe a vaccine available but it is highly unlikely to be in wide spread use come March. Most think it will be approved in January or February and manufacturers are making it now but you still have to distribute it and getting 100 million doses out in a month or two isn't likely. Even with that the players are unlikely to be included in that first 100 million and 100 million vaccinated won't be enough to keep the virus from spreading although it should slow it down.Nope.

Short answer
Recall that being available and working are two different conditions.There very well maybe a vaccine available but it is highly unlikely to be in wide spread use come March.

Short answer
Is they won’t be playing at all
It’s them trying to grab tv revenue with a “delay”
It’s pretty clear this is just positioning to grab money
Agreed.They are either playing in the fall or they are not at all. Whichever, they won't be playing in the spring.

I think the ACC is listening to their medical advisory group which is telling them they can play safely (or with no greater risk than living as a student on campus). I'd be interested what Pitt's medical folks are telling the chancellor, my guess is it's the same sentiment as Dr. Wolfe from Duke.
Cases per day are down ~25% over the last month. They will continue to drop over the next month. Put a plan in place and manage the best you can. Those that follow the plan play, those that don't won't be playing.
I like the B12 starting near the end of September. Thought the ACC should have done the same.

You just really need to go away. Stay in your house. Do not interact with anyone. Wear your mask 24/7 and never I mean never get within 100 yards of anyone.1. Healthcare workers
2. People over say, 60 and younger people of high risk
3. Certain professions deemed to be high risk (meat packing, teachers, pro athletes....college athletes though not a profession go here)
One thing Trump did that I agree with is this Operation Warp Speed thing will have several hundred million doses ready to go on Day 1 of whatever vaccine gets greenlighted under their program. How? They are beginning to fund the production of the millions of doses BEFORE the vaccine is approved in the hopes that it eventually does get approved. So, yes, it may eventually be a waste of billions of dollars but its a risk they are taking.
Do they get the money before they play? I would think that abc would say well we will have to discuss payment if your moving it to the spring.Short answer

Did he really say that?UPMC's lead doctor said driving on the turnpike is more dangerous. I would imagine that makes it difficult for the associated university to act like it's a big deal. Locally, there hasn't been a big outbreak.
So far as the numbers, I do think more people are taking precautions and that is helping the numbers. Those wacky masks, right?
Reread my statement I said it will be manufactured before it's approved so let's say final approval is Jan 15th. It's going to take months to vaccinate 100 million people and fb players won't be part of that group to get it. Or the vaccine even if it's 90 percent effective won't help for March 1. Also remember that the one vaccine has a booster given 30 days after the first vaccineReread my previous post. The Federal Government is funding hundreds of million doses BEFORE approval in the hopes of eventual approval.
I disagree if they subcontract distribution to Chick Fil A Drive thru they would have all 100 million doses along with a delicious chicken sandwich in 9 days...8 if they opened on Sunday.There very well maybe a vaccine available but it is highly unlikely to be in wide spread use come March.

Were you on the 2-deep football roster at a Division 1 school?when i was 18-22, i could've played 3 seasons in a year. i don't see the big deal at all.

Then how would you know the stress that is put on a football player’s body?no. i was 2 deep on the beer team.

well, i played rugby at pitt and we played in the spring and fall no problem.
i never got tired in those days. i'm no super human but my buddies and would play basketball all day, then hit the bars at night and get up for work at 7:00am.
like big log!
Dude I get it that rugby is tough. What it's not is a 60 minute car wreck played by the most explosive athletes in the world.
yeah that's true. there's no contact in rugby, and have the pleasure of having no padding to absorb hits. and players don't play the full EIGHTY minutes, w/out subbing out.
whereas in football where players only really play 30 minutes, but not really since there are 30 seconds in b/w each play. actual game play is only around 15 minutes total. so someone on offense or defense are only truly active for around 7:30.
foh with this nonsense.
Who on Pitt's rugby team would make Pitt's 2 deep in football?
