Yeah the virus came from China. Hence the China virus. Not that difficult to remember that small detail.

But supposedly, the East Coast was hit by way of Europe from China.

I don’t care where the virus came from. The first confirmed case of the 1918 “Spanish Flu” was in Kansas. COVID has hit us harder than any other country, and that’s not magic. Trying to brand it in a way that shifts blame elsewhere ignores our failure to deal with this thing.

I hate that we’re not playing in Madison. I’ll be surprised if we play at all. It’s going to be hard to muster. Like a lot if you, I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to educate my kids in the fall while also listening to people talk about herd immunity and “low mortality rate,” ignoring that if we end up with millions more cases of this thing, that means tens or hundreds of thousands more deaths.

It’s a moving target. We don’t understand this thing. It’s new, and a lot of people are trying, but a new virus means we have a lot to learn. And things will continue to change. But at this point I believe there’s a portion of the population who won’t believe or do anything to change or stop this, no matter what we learn.

I just signed up to test a vaccine. If I am chosen, does that mean that I can attend live sports?

Only if it works and you're not in the control group. Where do I sign up? :-D

I thought about signing up, but based on what I read, I likely wouldn’t be chosen as I’m not high enough risk. I don’t have an underlying illness (that I know of), I have worked from home for 2 years so I’m not in contact with many people, I wear a mask and liberally use sanitizer when I do go out, and I’m not in contact with many at risk people. Oh well.

I fall along the same lines as you. We’ll see. The concerning part is that the trial goes for 12 months. Does that mean no vaccine for a year, assuming it works?

This whole thing is really going to suck for Notre Dame...suddenly their Independent standing might come to bite them.

There should be plenty of trial opportunities yet to come. According to my GP, there are more than 40 Big Pharmas and little pharmas world-wide burning midnight oil and Big dollars looking to develop a preventive vaccine for the masses and/or a therapeutic treatment for Covid-19 victims (patients). He mentioned NC's RTP, Cal's Stanford/Menlo Park/Palo Alto area, Johns-Hopkins/Baltimore, Ireland and Australia as hot spots of really hopeful research. Oh yeah...and China.

The ACC remains committed to their 6 N.D. games and may be able to schedule more ACC vs. N.D. games this season if need be.

If we take legal action of any kid we would permanently bury our program. We would be black balled into oblivion. You could go ahead and send us back to the FCS.

I have that same thought so I'm not saying it's wrong, but on the other hand, Arkansas State scheduled their Michigan game after their law suit against Miami.

Why not get the attorneys involved? We have games booked through 2024. We don’t have a P5 open date until 2026.

Correct, but that was in 2018. This is 2020 during a pandemic. It would not be taken kindly right now if we were to do that.

A lot of athletic programs are going to be struggling to survive. I say that we do what we have to do.

A lot will be struggling that is 100% correct. If all the G5 and FCS school sue the P5 schools over the next couple months that would only further the divide between the groups. I could see future schools paying their way out of their contractual games to avoid potential lawsuits. If it comes to that then they just won't bother scheduling schools like us anymore. It won't be worth the risk. Our program isn't going anywhere. We have enough money to make it through this. In regards to this topic you can not sue and keep good relationships with other schools or you can risk your future scheduling abilities and sue for a one time payment. Every university is about to get budget cuts. Piling on to that is going to make us look terrible. Sometimes you need to keep the good relationships for future success over punching someone in the kidney to take a few bucks (and yes in the grand scheme of future years that 2 mil is a few bucks).
