Not sure how much of this was just in the football program but the cases are across the entire athletic department. On Packer and Durham this morning they were saying it came out to about 1.5% across the AD.

Tuscaloosa shut down the bars for 2 weeks because of their 531 case outbreak. It's just laughable at this point that they are making decisions like that which completely acknowledge there is an issue, but there's just zero thought to halting football.
And then saban has the balls to say it’s not about the money, it’s about the kids, while he is making 9 million a year lol
Ha yeah, he said it's not about the money, but he also said the kids have a chance to make a bunch of money.
His entire coaching career has been one big humanitarian effort.
It's the coaches poll. Why would you take votes from people who aren't actively coaching?

apologies if this info is already out there, but i'm not immediately finding it.
has the Pac made any announcement over what the spring schedule will be? whether we're playing the original set of teams on the schedule or the revised?

well, fûck
This means the battle for the Commonwealth Cup will be the first game for both teams. Fits right in with 2020

That article was interesting. Notre Dame has always been big player in college football, however it never occurred to me that they could be the true swing-vote in fall v. spring sports/football during this pandemic. It does make sense looking back as their original schedule already had 6 ACC teams... If you think about it, the ACC really makes out well financially in playing Notre Dame in a normal year, and the opportunity to strengthen ties is something I think the ACC really jumped at. I always looked at the ACC as a 50%/50% prospect for playing in the Spring given the diversity of the conference, but you put Notre Dame into the equation, I can see where the SEC and Big-12 held steadfast in playing in the fall; and the decisions fell where they did.
yep.
if ND really put full time membership in the ACC on the table in order to play this year, it makes complete sense to me that Swofford (ACC commish) and the ADs would've done anything to advance that. We'll find out in 15 years what backroom deals were made.

semi-humerous story. until about 15 years ago, that trophy considerd all NCAA sanctioned sports played between UVA and VT during the regular season. one point for all sports except for men's basketball and football. hoops awarded one point for each of the two games played and football awarded two points for the one game.
before they changed the cup criteria to only be football, UVA owned it.
in my previous life, I was a Training Manager for a franchisee of quick service restaurants. My duties included being GM of the Blacksburg store and training newly hired salaried managers -- they would start at my store after being hired until they 'graduated' and got reassigned to whatever store they were hired for.
one year, a UVA fan was hired. he showed up in Blacksburg ready to talk trash and engaged me and my team from day one. at one point, he brought up the Commonwealth Cup.
I responded, "OK, whatever. we beat you in football".
he got pissed. turns red in the face. "you damn VT fans, all you care about is football".
three of us, in unison, "yeah?"

I was thinking a little more about the issue of football pressing on, in spite of students going home. Right or wrong (I know there is a ton of $$ in college football and many AD's want to play), it also occurred to me that for many graduates and even folks that live in or near a college town, the football team is a on-going connection, between the school, its graduates, and its fans; which depending on the individual can be really strong. Although some schools may not have tons of on-campus students in the fall or even the spring, the playing of college football, presuming it can be reasonably safe; can be a positive for many associated with a school in terms of keeping that connection strong.
I'm not necessarily advocating one way or another for fall or spring football; nor that one should ignore the safety concerns; but more pointing out that the connection exists.

Posted elsewhere, this is a huge step toward creating a bubble for athletes, not that I think that's why NCSU is doing it.
Pay the WolfPack players.
I don't have that kind of money
Frankly, I believe sports programs will protect themselves very well if no other students & social activities variables are present.
100% online education probably could save all the seasons. Most sports have under 25 people involved & football has the resources to manage the 150-200 people involved.
Agreed, if they are testing at least every other day, which most programs aren’t/can’t afford.
Students can’t live together in a dorm, but football is safe!
Why are the two correlated?
