Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

I think they did take a break but I believe they are back at it now.

How is Nebraska able to practice if we have no games? Is it just a case of nobody is in charge anymore (e.g. NCAA)?

Confirmed, took two weeks off after decision came down to postpone. Last week was their first week back under the 12 hours rule.

The NCAA said teams that are not playing this fall have 12 hours per week of team activities.  5 hours of practice and the rest is meetings and conditioning.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that.

Is a scrimmage considered practice? Why not scrimmage against Ohio state ?

I don't know if there has been a definite answer.  There was talk of holding a "spring game" in October but they weren't sure if that was a possibility or not.  I'm guessing not a scrimmage against another team, though.

I am pretty sure if Nebraska had an internal draft. Created 2 husker teams and had a "scrimmage" every saturday. We would fill the stadium.

I had the same thought.   I love that idea.   I also had a crazy idea of creating a bunch of 8 man football teams from our roster and playing a round robin tournament.   That would be fun.

Good thread explaining the subject above. 
 

Saying that only 6% died from COVID-19 alone is basically like saying that no one has ever died from AIDS. Technically, AIDS doesn't kill you itself - it wrecks your immune system until it's unable to fight off other infections, and then those other infections kill you. The doctor will note both AIDS and the other infection(s) on the death report. But I think we can all agree that it would be stupid to say that no one has ever died just from AIDS - that's silly. It's technically true, but not very meaningful, and distracts from the real scope of the AIDS epidemic. It's the same thing with pushing that 6% figure - it's pedantic at best, and seriously disingenuous.

@GBRFAN Do you have a source on what percent are preexisting vs COVID-induced problems (heart issues, etc)?

 

[Crusader Husker]

Has it been mentioned that ALL versions have the flu have the potential to cause Myocarditis?  I discussed this with a Infectious disease doc.  He said that is true.

The 6% CDC data that people love to parrot, have the two most common co-morbidities listed along with Covid as 1. Pneumonia 2. Respiratory Failure. Both acute problems brought on by Covid. Lots of people love to quote the data, and don't understand the data.
