    Re: Predict the duration of the 2020 season

    Lou Holtz tells Fox News that college football needs to play amid coronavirus pandemic this fall: "Let's move on with our life! When they stormed Normandy, they knew there were going to be casualties -- there were going to be risks."

    There has to be some sort of tongue and cheek context behind that statement.

    Re: Predict the duration of the 2020 season

    No one in their right mind was going to expect a bunch of college kids to follow the necessary protocols. If one of them messes up, he'll probably be rightfully ridiculed (At least to some degree) on social media, but that won't save the damage his decisions may cause, with regard to the spread of the virus and the health ramifications of it.

    it's obvious from how Holtz treated his teams that he didn't put much value in them. With that quote, it shows that college players are just numbers to him.

    Re: Predict the duration of the 2020 season

    The NFL has placed great emphasis on preparing to have football i.e. 2-weeks of testing, re-arranging facility for social distancing...to the extent of some teams expanding their facilities to outdoor tents etc.

    Then I look at what the NCAA has done......what have they done?

    It is clear to me the 2 professional football organizations in the US (NCAA and NFL) have approached the return of football very differently.

    One organization was just going to push forward with the return of football with the expectation they could simply 'force' their employees to return without making any effort to protect their health.

    And surprise...some team coalitions have already opted due to Covid-19 health concerns...and rightfully so imho.

    What have college teams done compared to what the NFL has done?

    I know Lou Holtz hasn't been lucid for years but that is one wild quote.

    He joined Barstool Sports today. He'll have his own podcast (21st and Prime) and will also be a reoccurring guest on Pardon My Take.

    Given the recent spate of Covid outbreaks, it seems like a good time to bump this thread

    Is there a certain demographic that's getting it more than others?

    Well, they made if further into the season than I thought they would.
