I know one thing; that if the P.I.A.A.moves ahead and allows fall sports to be played by a bunch of middle school and high school aged student-athletes, that makes Kevin Warren and the B1G Conference look like a bunch of fools.idiots/cowards. I've got to believe that there is more structure, and safety precautions that the NCAA and the B1G conference were taking compared to high school athletics.
If the B1G sticks with their horrendous decision to postpone (read cancel) the 2020 fall sports seasons, the B1G will not remain as the #2 Power 5 conference. Will drop down into a tie for 4th. best with the PAC-12.
Counting all fall sports for all 14 universities in the B1G, this is going to cost the schools and the conference
Billions of dollars. Might as well throw in the winter sports teams for all 14 schools also as there is no way in heck that there will be college basketball in the B1G this winter...not with Kevin Warren in "charge." Same with spring sports in the B1G, forget it.
Covid-19 is not magically going to go away just because a vaccine or two comes online. First it would take several months to make it available to the masses and a ton of people have already responded in polling that they will not get a vaccine if one were available. Also, much like the flu, Covid-19 could well become seasonal. Where it comes back around say in the cold weather months.
But again, it is bizarre to say the least that thousands of high school aged athletes can play sports in the midst of this pandemic but college student-athletes in the B1G cannot?!?
