Am I in an extreme minority by not really caring if anyone plays this year?  If they play, great!  If not, it's just another disappointment piled on top of a million others this year.  I'm really too tired at this point to give a s#!t.  I have enough COVID related stress in my week that I plan on drinking beers on Saturdays with, or without, college football.  I know it means a lot to the players; but as a fan, it just seems like a year of going through the motions and everyone knows it doesn't really count anyway...

I'll watch if it's on.  If not, I won't. Oh well.  I just hope the players get what they want as long as it's done responsibly.

That doesn’t sound like a very fun husker 

 
There has been cases in Ohio HS with kids on teams gettin git, but it seems that the cases are coming from activities outside of FB and school.  1 party can set back a whole campus and/or team.  This is the issue college campuses are dealing with now, not sports.

Mitch is 100% correct. Coming up with plans how to make this work should have been the primary thing these athletic departments were working on over the past six months.

The NCAA, the B1G (any P5 conference), the Athletics Departments - are so top heavy with senior officials making six figures+, its crazy they weren't meeting everyday since March to figure this out - at the very least to keep and justify their bloated salaries. The lack of preparation is just mind blowing.

Then again the NCAA just furloughed everyone except senior management, so the top isn't really worried about their cut. 

Fun Fact: The top 11 employees at the NCAA make a combined 10.5 mil a year.

Seems to me they need a visit from the Bobs.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the coaches, ADs and universities were having constant meetings throughout the summer. I recall reading Moos had mentioned that he was having daily AD conference calls with all the other ADs in the conference. Seemed like the athletic departments had established consensus protocols and plans which is why they were all dumbstruck once they postponed despite all the safety measures that were taken since mid-summer.

My town has had all athletic practices for several weeks and games started over a week ago and no cases tied to sports so far. Some towns around us have had cases, but not tied to competition instead from other activities or school in general. These kids aren't being tested or monitored at all, so it seems ok so far. Things could obviously change, but based on what I've seen things are going pretty well.

 
Wasn't even sure which thread to post this in: Does anybody know what our practice schedule has been like over the past three-ish weeks?

Are we still practicing right now?

How would a high school team even know since the virus spreads asymptomatically especially in young people? Are the high schools testing the players regularly?

Around here, they are not testing players.  I have no idea about the class A schools.  However, they should know as the players still live at home and there hasn't been an outbreak in parents or teachers that those players come in contact with on a daily basis.  I haven't been to a football game yet, but I've been to a couple of volleyball games.  For the most part, there aren't a lot of fans there.  The ones that are there pretty much are in small family groups socially distancing.  The one thing most people are worried about is how colleges are sending those with covid home once they are positive.  Most believe they should stay at their respective school and quarantine there rather than coming home to infect the rest of their family.

I think ultimately with contact tracing you'd tie a large number of cases elsewhere back to the high school teams. So, we may just not know yet, but being weeks into seasons and no outbreaks tied to them is encouraging.
