While it's hypocritical for colleges to go on but cancel sports, tons of colleges are reversing their plans too.

For any school that goes forward, this semester is going to end up just like the last one - cancelled sports and remote learning.

At this point, I'm more curious to see how coaches try to protect eligibility for players after they go forward for a few games before the season blows up. Why burn eligibility on an aborted season full of fill-in opponents from North Dakota?

Good point except, once again the NCAA and Big Nine (? lol) fail totally.  As far as I have read, there has been no declaration of extra year or any part of a year eligibility for players who dont play.  Big Ten just denied the players a year of fb unless NCAA changes rules.  They may - or may not.   Should have been done back in May imo. 

 
Interesting. I assumed that if a school didn't field a team for games or practices, then it couldn't count as a year of eligibility for the player. The schools just take the financial hit of paying scholarships for no games. 

But if they loose a year even if sitting idle, then that explains why so many are pinning their hopes on spring ball instead.

Failure to plan on so many levels.

 
There may not be college football for quite some time.  Fauci has said dont count on an effective vaccine.  The doctors are already learning how to treat it better but that doesnt seem to matter.  We are having more and more positives and less and less deaths but people are still irrationally fearful of this.  I hope there is a great vaccine or treatment but until then the world is on hold until we learn to accept some of the risk that comes with this virus.

There are 6 vaccine candidates that are in Phase 3 Trials, which means they all passed phase two.  I think the risk is that by the time regular people can get one, the virus will be an ignored footnote in the news.

He said he doubts it'll be 98% effective, not that he doubts an effective vaccine will be developed.

No vaccine is ever 100% effective. I’m sure there’s lots of differences in types of viruses- influenza, polo, measles, etc. too. Like the polo vaccine seems to be 100%-why, but the flu-is a crap shoot. And yes I know the strains have to be predicted and all but good heavens, i get the flu shot every year and have for 20. In Oct 2017 I had the shot, in Feb I had the flu so bad I missed 10 days work- first time I’ve had the actual flu and the strain i had was supposedly covered in the shot. 
 

then had the shot on Oct 2018 and had the flu in November- why? I’m very healthy

You still pay attention to deaths and positive tests? All the fake positives and deaths falsely claimed I just don’t really care what is “reported” anymore. The only thing I know for sure is no one on this board or in this country knows what the hell is actually going on. You only know what the latest fake facts your being fed. It’s really funny actually our country is inflating the bad news and other countries are deflating the bad news trying to claim they have it under control. Anyone actually believe Russia and China give honest data haha?

Please give some evidence showing the death toll is falsely inflated or don't make the claim, because it is completely untrue. If anything the death toll has been undercounted.
