This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

This is why college presidents vote to not play. by Nannywarth
It's unconscionable to take this type of risk with any students, let alone athletes. There is clearly an identified but unknown long term health risk even with asymptomatic COVID cases. As I have stated before, I personally know of two college student athletes who were asymptomatic but eventually diagnosed with COVID after they had lingering issues that affected their athletic performance. Both are healing, but are not close to 100%. This is after several months.
It is one thing to try to have football and athletics with every effort to minimize COVID infection and spread. It is something else completely to have "most, but not all," of your athletes get infected. What a joke!
