I responded to your question with a link and correct spelling of stream Then made reference to clothing apparel FUBU which was the mistake I made on my original post about streaming services. Your argumentative mentality took a leap from me offering up experiences and opinion on simple thing such as online streaming tv options vs cable/sat provider to @Temptation you interjected and made a statement about that by saying, " Doesn't work for all. Gotta have great internet" for which I added a great slogan, suggested you may add it to your list of other slogans you go to around these parts, and you leaped again about students in high school or below and how they may not have had great internet during distance learning. One more leap and you could set the Jasper county Triple jump record!! Sheesh like I said, if there is a will there is a way: My school set up 9 different hotspots throughout the town and outskirts of town that would only connect to their school issue devices, along with area business that also allowed for usage of their hotspots (MdDonalds being one) but again, that had ZERO to do with the conversation that was being had between me and @Temptation about direct tv vs stream, which I admit as of right now has only been had by me since he hasn't responded to those comments, nor does he have to really. Just going step by step on how we somehow got from College Football is Toast to streams to distant learning Internet availability in Rensselaer Indiana I blame myself really, got sucked into the Vortex......... carry on. 17 minutes ago, DannEllenwood said: You are a gimmick guy.

If the universal response to a player with an active infection is “suspend practice for a week,” do you see anyone saying “we can’t practice this week, but we’ll still show up Saturday to play?” If the answer is “no,” then how are we going to have a season?

Good question. Maybe if team "X" has any number test positive, they have to sit out for week or two and team just has to use next player up in practice and game??

So yeah, I think you are asking why not just have he positive ones sit out for a time period and keep practicing with the next player up. Maybe they are waiting on test results from other players to make sure it didn't spread, so all have to sit out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m asking is if a player testing positive right now requires suspension of team activities for a week or two for reasons of safety - as we’ve seen happen several times already - why would a player testing positive during the season have a different result? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw13 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 unfortunately college athletics historically has its share of dishonesty in regards to trying to creating the competitive edge.......it will be interesting as to what programs will withhold, mislead or delay testing results in the wake of the so-called "big game".......time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is what they are thinking, but a possible explanation is they have the ability to suspend operations without disrupting things significantly. It would be much more disruptive to take a week off during the season. I don't believe every team that has positive tests are suspending operations. They are just the ones we hear the most about. We could come out of this with examples of different approaches and those learnings could be applied to the regular season. All of this is pure speculation on my part so don't take it as fact or inside knowledge that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in those two is that in season, the student will have been in school as well. So contact tracing will show more people have been exposed. That said, the possibility still exists in both cases that the kid got it at home. Some schools are saying that there is a possibility if a kid at school has it, that not everyone in the room will need to be quarantined. Administration will look at who was in close contact first and isolate those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is that, wisely or unwisely, some programs suspend operations after a positive test. If they’re doing it now, won’t they also do it during the season, if that’s what they believe is required for public health reasons? Going to be some schedule scrambling, at a minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobref Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick has reportedly come out in favor of delaying the start of the college football season until after we see what effect kids coming back to school will have on the numbers. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/college-football/notre-dame-ad-jack-swarbrick-reportedly-wants-2020-season-delayed/ I think we all know what that effect will be.

Bobref Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Is there really any question as to the direction in which the momentum is moving?

Coach_K Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I heard an ESPN analyst say he would welcome NCAA football making the permanent move to the spring. That way you could see football year round. There are obvious questions with this. Will the number 1 pick (or top guys) play in the spring? However from the school perspective it should be a no brainer! Play Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. The tv revenue for the schools would skyrocket so no programs would have to be cut. If high school were still in the fall it would allow coaches to watch more players in person. It is an interesting thought and I would love it, but I don’t think it is going to happen.

Gipper Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 "And the quarterback is toast!" A little of topic, but it's a very memorable movie line (Die Hard if you're an old fogie like me). Much like high school, I'm hoping for a season, but I just look at trends and get nervous. Notwithstanding, Purdue brings a lot to the table and will hopefully stay healthy if the season goes. Their new schedule does look tough, going to Michigan won't be easy, but at least we get Ohio State at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
