True, but many of the early outbreaks on/near campuses were from frat 4th of July parties, and many schools are not allowing students on campus this fall. As for spring championships, testing will no longer be required for athletes that have been vaccinated. Every indication so far is that the vaccine is effective and can be ready in large doses (100+ million) in January, possibly early January. vaccines effective and will be ready in large doses? source please? Source please?? Have you not heard of Operation Warp Speed? www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-vaccine-prediction-fda-approval-goldman-coronavirus-this-year/

Even if there is a vaccine by January, how many will be willing to take it? My son is just starting on his road to working in the medical field and he was told to stay far away from vaccine trails and be in no hurry to get the vaccine if it becomes available. This whole process has been done way too fast. Not true. They are going through the entire process, they are just using a ton of money and resources to eliminate delays. They funded 30 different vaccine efforts, cut that to the best 15 and then to the best 7 to go through stage 3 trials. The first and one of the best candidates looks like it will be ready. They aren't cutting corners or increasing risk. The government is paying a s-ton of money to assume all the risk of development and production so that companies will dedicate their resources so there will not be a day of delay due to risk, budget or waiting for regulators.

I am extremely pro-vaccine. For my peace of mind however, I'd prefer if the EU gave its approval to a vaccine before this FDA weighed in.

Since it is open and trusted voices are talking about it, describing it and giving informed opinions, I am less concerned.

Yes and no. Cutting delays and expediting the process is always good, but in order to understand the long term effect of the vaccine you still have to observe those long term effects. It is not that there will be no dangers associated with any of the vaccines being pushed this way, it is that they are trying to take out as many mitigating effects that they can in a short time frame. Very different circumstances.

Do some here even care to remind themselves that this thread...as hypothetically tenuous as it is...is about a group of athletes' threatened boycott: not Covid19? Yes, safety concerns are a part of their demands; but does every thread have to devolve to these interminable back-&-forths on governmental policies & vaccines? There are myriad discussions re: policies/ our government's (in)action in "Off The Net".

Back to the actual topic, The End Of College Sports Is In Sight. universal posted a link in the thread Revenue-generating programs? All the numbers you need in a searchable database Equity in Athletics, ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/
I found it informative.

An interesting factoid. Last year we had one player forgo college and play overseas. There are rumors that up to 5 might in the next year or so.
OTOH, over 600 international players decided to not go pro and to come to the US for college.
The market is speaking and for the vast majority of players the college scholarship is a pretty good deal....

Do some here even care to remind themselves that this thread...as hypothetically tenuous as it is...is about a group of athletes' threatened boycott: not Covid19? This, and the SI report about the P5 conferences breaking from the NCAA. Curious - if the NCAA goes forward today with no NCAA tournament, does that push the P5's to more quickly break from the NCAA and then would they create their own tournament? It sounds like there is a lot of buzz out there that it is a matter of when not if for the P5's move away from the NCAA. I am thinking the NCAA is in a tough position today. Cancel the NCAA tournament, and they may lose complete control from the big schools. Proceed with a tournament and then many schools and conferences will not be playing and the prospect of a spring season goes away. Should be interesting. And when the P5's move away from the NCAA - that has to be bad for the non P5 schools? I could see this being a huge recruiting drag for some of those top programs.
