Ever see the football schedule at ND?....your honor, I rest my case.

Wow...my grammar there is superb. I should stick to posting from a PC where I can actually see the characters I’m typing.

SGSC is returning to school on August 13. There is a virtual option by semester. Those who chose the virtual option will not be allowed to participate in extracurriculars.

Who cares about right and left politics. Let's come up with a plan to mitigate risks so we can get back to school and play football.

There is a certain amount of risk "X" that a society has to agree to in order to function. The risk "X" is always higher in urban areas. "X" is always higher in urban areas...think of it of how many ways are their to die in New York City vs Fort Branch Indiana. To have a functioning society, people will die. Does it mean society or those those that support it have some sort of lack a value for life? The differing opinions here are all about risk tolerance and what is "necessary" for a functioning society. To get back to anything close to normalcy, I think folks are going to have to agree to slide their value "X" toward the end of greater risk. Don't watch TV, look at the STATs that matter on the web from your state health department. If a social media headline says the word "case" in it.....don't read it (its fear mongering). Let's talk about how to manage risk, not how to hide from it. Whatever stance you take....make sure you can live with it when the issue hits close to home. One size won't fit all here, there could be counties in Indiana that shouldn't play sports. The target will move....adjustments will have to be made. Be willing to do the hard work (isn't that what football teaches us)....don't cancel out of fear.

I think more than a few programs have probably handled cases internally and sharing with parents without it getting to the media...which is as it should be.

There could be a program out there somewhere in the state (with small numbers in the first place)...that could potentially get into some issues. I think you will be hard pressed to find one.

Yeah...got something in my eye.

WOW! .....join scores of other programs....sorry John Glenn's made the news. Nothing to see here move along.

I should clarify that our school corp won't release their guidelines until later this week. My comments were only based around the health departments handling of cases.

Also keep in mind multiple programs across the state have dealt with "cases" just fine already. And somehow those stayed out of the news.

Unless the crews drives to the games together...I would think not. The typical questions asked by the health departments down here (after a positive "case") are something along the lines of: 1. Were you practicing social distancing? 2. Were you wearing a mask? 3. Did you have a prolonged conversation with the "case" at a distance closer than 6 feet. If the answers are appropriate, no further quarantining is required other than the "case" themself obviously. Pretty much the protocol they follow at the Toyota plant with 7,000 people working there every day since the initial shut down. I have not heard of any hospitalizations or deaths.

After morning workouts saw bus inspections being done by the state police at Gibson Southern High School this morning.

This is just simply nuts.

Similar situation for Toyota with 7,000 employees in Princeton Indiana...but they do wear masks.

So are they suing for flu?

Pick a private or parochial school...much better odds of post season success.

I am guessing kids have gotten flu at school and subsequently died...is there precedent for suing school corporations in those cases? In terms of sports, can school corps legally have waivers drawn up? My guess is the vast majority of parents would sign those. I know I certainly would.
