The school canceled football for the season FWIW. So he caught it from either class but more than likely.. somewhere else. Would he have been safer under a structured protocol and proper S&C/Diet? Potentially. These cases are emotional but they are not even close to the norm. From what I’ve seen this is the first college student to pass away from Covid this semester.

As sad as this is, I do not believe that he caught Covid from playing football.  I think it's misleading to post this is the 2020 will there be football thread.

A college football player dying from covid definitely matters regardless of whether or not he contradicted it from playing football. It's evidence against the idea that only old people are dying from covid and that college-age football players won't be affected by the virus.

It is evidence that none of those kids should be on campus...

But school presidents won't vote on that.

Belongs in the Covid thread then. He did not contract the virus from playing football. As I said before- this is misleading. 
 

of course it was just a post of other posts without accompanying commentary so I guess I’m not sure why it’s here.

It's one piece of evidence that cancelling the football season did not make them safer.

And maybe if the vote is no, vote on why the yes schools can’t play outside of the conference for one season.

This is where I get confused.  I get the idea all for one and one for all, but that usually pertains to the idea that we are team/collective unit and we are fighting against a cause that can be won, if we stick together.  So lets say Michigan says no, then why would it matter to Michigan and the B10 that Nebraska and Ohio State play some out of conference games?  I guess this brings us back to the "control" narrative, which is frustrating on so many levels.
