Its Purdue!

15 minutes until he announces.

I totally agree. Fear is king today. That said, in education....there is a lot of collaboration between administrators (and school boards) behind the scenes. I feel like in our state the majority are looking hard for a safe way to pull it off. To bad the Federal government hasn't offered help with resources to make that happen.

https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/COVID-data-top-10.pdf Oh kids spread...but larger studies show they aren't as effective at is as adults are. This study is long in the tooth now but chocked full of great references.

I think it is exactly the same in either direction...depending on the majority push.

Or...the more schools that do not, the greater the pressure to recend.

Love it!

This is one of those things...every school board has a personality and unfortunately can be politically colored. I expect this to go like everything else now days...passionately 50/50.

A friend of a friend of different Marion County district school board member told me....don't expect all of us to fold up shop.

How crazy would it be if the entire state played football except for the INDY area. "Cases" aren't the panic button statistic.

I don't think a domino effect is necessarily inevitable here. There are plenty of school boards throughout the state that are passionate about return to school.

So this is North Central High School right?

If we want football you quarantine the positives no matter what week it is. That should be an easy decision. JV players and freshman better be ready to step up this season.

Back to school on time and football on time. In Indiana anyway.

I think what the IVY league does has zero effect on anything Indiana HS football will do. It's mind boggling to me that factories in this state with 7,000 plus employees can pull this off with every age range from 18-65 in the building but we don't think we can manage the least effected demographic in much much smaller populations. What is driving fear right now is "case" counts (the media is doing a fabulous job). 80% of "cases" are asymptomatic and it still isn't known if that group even sheds the virus. Testing continues to ramp up which continues to drive up cases and folks still find a way to get worked up about percentage positives when the folks getting tested are ones who think they have it or think they have been exposed. You can't extrapolate "percentage positives" across the general population. School should go in Indiana and so should fall sports. That said, can all 50 states keep their cool and manage the inevitable event of when "cases" pop up in the building without quarantining every child who was within 20 feet of the known positives? I seriously doubt it. Fear usually wins over logic in the world we live in today.

Ok, so I donated and was looking forward to getting rid of those pesky advertisements. But, I have to tell ya, Jen from "meet Christian singles" is definitely smoking hot!

My point was the "savvy" player will just lie and say he doesn't have any symptoms. I wouldn't advocate lying....so don't shoot the messenger here. Just providing a realistic viewpoint on what would likely happen.

So when your in line before practice and they say, "have you had a headache in the past 24 hours?", how are you going to answer that (kid that wants to be at football practice)?
