Fact is athletes would be MUCH MUCH safer playing their sports and being monitored regularly. If you are gonna get myocarditis or DCM from covid i would much rather have them in sports and being monitored for it regularly than out and about doing what college kids do without close monitoring. Hate to say it, but chances are more kids are going to die this way whether from covid or other things b/c of lack of structure.

You have a point. If the P5 conferences put these kids into their respective campus bubble and tested, retested, isolated, and played against teams that have done the same protocols, then a season may have been plausible.
However, that's not the case. We have our current situation. People not taking this pandemic seriously and people thinking this whole thing isn't as serious as it is. So, here we are. Nobody is happy and a lot of people only have the person in the mirror to blame for this.
I really do agree with your point that a lot of kids in D1 sports, especially football and basketball, are better off in a structured system with rigorous testing. However, those systems have not been put into place in any athletic program. They've had months to prepare. It sucks.
