teachercd Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 If you are a college coach...why would you want a season? No season means no firings. It means if you were on the "hot seat" that seat will be much less hot after a non-season. This is like a free pass for a lot of coaches. No school is canning a coach right now and eating that contract while having to also pony up for a new contract for a new coach. 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I wonder how long they are going to wait. Students will be back on campus soon, probably about 2-3 weeks. Do they wait for them to get on campus before they make an announcement? Quote Link to comment

It just seems like research and medical opinions keep changing, or better yet evolving. I am in charge of facilities. What we have to do seems to evolve every week. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Isn't that going to be inevitable when we don't have a solid grasp on how to treat this particular virus? I know changing tactics can be frustrating, but when it's being directed by experts (and not politicians) it's going to be for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 While I don't agree with everything contained in the link below, I do believe it was a well written explanation on why beliefs are so different right now. If our nation doesn't gain consistency, it will be very hard for the powers that be to allow sports. Right or wrong, we need consistent approaches to determine what is even working imo. https://carnegieendowment.org/2020/07/16/unmasking-truth-public-health-experts-coronavirus-and-raucous-marketplace-of-ideas-pub-82314 1 Quote Link to comment

The more studies and data come out, the more we are able to change, refine, and adapt our tactics to combat it. I get that some people can get tiredhead from this, but what scientists are doing now in a scant four months of so took years to accomplish during the Spanish Flu and Polio outbreaks. I mean, we already have promising vaccination tests going on from two different companies--folks would have killed for a vaccination for the Spanish Flu, or a vaccination in four months when Polio was running rampant.

I agree. Oh wow, next you're going to point to empirical evidence by other nations that mandated mask wearing and how their COVID numbers are vastly superior to the United States. Typical for the fake news to look at science and facts, which have a well known and long established liberal biases. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Every time I think we are good, more bad news comes out. Quote Link to comment
