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.

I don't think that it would be much of a problem by jt

a condensed season in the spring could actually be a boon for college football if the NFL plays in the fall and our numbers are at a point where we can allow fans in stadiums.

Here in CO, for instance, our numbers are actually down pretty far since July and if it keeps moving in that direction things would be looking positive for spring competition, or even late winter. The problem is the "don't tread on me" morons who seem to be substantial in certain areas of the country and who will likely not comply in any meaningful sense with any sort of mask mandate that might help keep numbers down.

In all seriousness, I am not a medical professional and I don't know what the science would tell us about when we can safely play. Perhaps you are right and the operative facts are known. I honestly don't know.
