Ok, so at least you have finally taken a firm position on this subject.
You are saying no sports until maybe Fall 2021. Check.
We probably need to take a roll call and get everyone to state when they think college sports will be feasible again.

I remember my mother talking about tuberculosis in the same ways. It was something everyone was afraid of. Relatives were sent to quarantine hospitals and almost shunned by some family members.

North Carolina is currently at 6% trending down and by contrast South Carolina was at 20% on Monday.

I think basketball will be ok as long as infection rates continue to drop. The shear numbers of football players on a team had to be a concern +100 folks with coaches (average football team) under 20 basketball with coaches.
While I am in favor of canceling football; I still think there should have been a bigger push to delay football until October and make decision in September.

So you dont think the risk that athletes will develop longterm heart issues, like the Doom & Gloomers claim, is now a deal breaker?

i agree with thrilla. there are some posters who are flatout "doom and gloomers" no matter what. then there's other folk like "45" who are the exact "opposite".
i happen to fall somewhere in the "middle". while i do agree that covid-19 is very serious and everybody should be wearing masks/social distancing/washing hands, i do not however believe everything is "doom or gloom" that's related to covid. while "45" is downplaying everything related to covid-19, the so called "doom and gloomers" consistently do the opposite by employing "fear mongering tactics" to scare everyone into believing what they believe.
i personally believe that it is "possible" (not guaranteed) to play college football safely "IF" you have adequate resources to employ all of the safety measures necessary to reasonably protect the players and staffs. but the question is, who has "adequate resources" to cover the costs to implement "all measures necessary" to keep the players and staffs reasonably safe from covid-19? it could get to be "extremely expensive" if you cover all of the bases.
i believe if you have quick turnaround "accurate" testing whereby the players and staffs can be tested every few days, isolate all football players to one dorm on campus, restrict (not prohibit) off campus privileges until the season is over, require online classes when possible, and institute all other cdc precautions, then i believe football could be played "reasonably" safe from covid-19.
now of course nobody can guarantee "100%" that no players or coaches will contract covid-19, nor can anybody guarantee 100% that you or i will not contract covid-19 no matter how many precautions we take. so i believe if you can maintain a very low positive testing rate (less than 5%) and institute a process to keep any positive cases from spreading, then football could be played within reason. but the costs would be "astronomical". that's why i believe d2, d3, and fcs programs were the first to bail out due to the costs and only bcs schools (acc, sec, big 12) still plan to play because they can afford the costs.
and for folk who say these bcs schools are putting "money" ahead of the health of their players, i disagree. because if any of those bcs schools have a "major outbreak", it will severely "damage" their program. so i believe it will be in their best interest to keep their players and staffs reasonably safe and the bcs schools know that...

OSA, please leave the subject alone about it is safe to play football. It ain't safe and it is a money thang.
Jemele Hill and Williamm Bill Rhoden were guest on the Reidout with Joy Reid this past evening.
They basically said football and other sports should not be played this fall. They said there are too many scientific factors that are unknown and not being shared to the public.
They also said coches and AD's at those P5 schools only interest is money. They were saying they don't have the welfare of those students as their priority because of the amount of players they have that can replace them if they get sick. The majority of the players are Black.
They both said which I have been saying for 50 years that those schools (p5) are like plantations, it ain't nothing but modern day slavary. The masters get all the money and the slaves (players) get nothing.
Man please stop reasoning like that racist a$$ Trump. That is how you sound plus you ain't No Scientist or Doctor!!

Westcoast Aggie, do you trust the Fake and Crooked NCAA? They support the Plantation concept.
It is all about Money at the expense of the players who gets nothing.
Quite naturally those coaches are going to agree with anything to play sports.

Quite naturally those coaches are going to agree with anything to play sports. This thread is pertaining to hoops, but it is interesting to note the differences with football. The BCS is actually a separate entity from the NCAA. This is why March Madness is really the only revenue generator for the NCAA. It's also interesting to note that it's the historically southern Power 5 Conferences (SEC/ACC/Big 12) including hotspots Florida, Texas & Oklahoma that are still trying to play football. And it's the northern/western Power 5 conferences (B1G/PAC-12) that have made the decision to not play. The Plantation concept may be more applicable than some of us think here.

It ain't safe and it is a money thang. and you please leave "me" alone as i've asked you to do numerous times. clearly you're an oleschoolaggie "groupie". all you do is "stalk" every single one of my posts even though i do my absolute very best to "IGNORE" yo azz. but since you literally "follow" every single one of my posts (yes, i know you're one of my official bdv "followers"), why don't you get a friggin' life of your own and get over your "fascination" with all of my posts? i'll continue to express "my opinion" as i see fit regardless to whether you like it or not. meanwhile, please go somewhere and find yourself a "life"...

Quite naturally those coaches are going to agree with anything to play sports. I don’t think any sport will be played by any college team this school year unless tremendous strides are made by Thanksgiving to curb the infection rate and severity of Covid-19. BTW: A shared link doesn’t mean endorsement from me. Just sharing for additional discourse.

Durham S Aggie I know this thread pertains to basketball. I was referencing OSA who was still talking about football. That is why I responded to his 20 paragraph same o stuff about it is safe to play football. He won't give it up.
It ain't safe. It is a money thang OSA. Why is that so hard for you to understand.
Talk about the roundball. That is the topic of this thread. Let it go dude.

Bornrilla why do you clowns take the word of one doctor who is more than likely on the payroll of Trump and other money hungry P5 schools, coaches and AD's.
Yall just can't see the forest for the trees. It is about Money Clowns.
