For now, until the 2nd shutdown, then we're all doomed.
Why? We are 6 weeks into the season and playoffs are next week. Deaths have declined significantly since then.

But the cases are on the rise despite all that.
At this point coronavirus is like a common cold for college age kids and younger. Maybe like the flu at worst.
It's time we stop quarantining the healthy. Let at-risk people take the extra precautions, everyone else needs to get back to life as normal.
Kids are dumb enough as is, they will be even dumber if they aren't able to go to school in person. Online education is much lower quality, schools aren't covering all the material they are supposed to be.
Why does that matter if they don't get sick? Should we cancel the season because it is going to be a bad season for colds?
MIT is only allowing seniors back on campus and have cancelled fall sports.

When do you think most of the Ivies have final exams?
Every year lots of Ivy students juggle final exams with outdoor Heps (early May).

This is bigger than sports. There is clearly an agenda at stake here

SARS-CoV-2 kills old people. If little Suzy Creamcheese goes back to college and picks up the virus, *she* might not get very sick (or sick at all); but if she infects her grandfather--or her stats professor--and *he* croaks, there'll be hell to pay.
Lawyers ruin everything. I would know...
There has been a huge decline in deaths over the past 2 months. It looks like it will be almost nothing in 1-2 weeks according to the CDC stats.
I agree with this comparison between NYC in winter and AZ in summer. There is another similarity, dry air. Air conditioned indoor air is dry. Heated winter air is dry. Aerosols stay suspended in dry air longer. Think about blowing dandelion white seeds. When it is dry they suspend in the air and float around the yard forever. When it is humid or lightly raining, they mat down and come right down the to ground. Hot places like FL, TX, S-CA, and AZ all rely heavily on air conditioning to dry and cool the air. I think that this is part of our problem, too many people indoors in dry, recirculated air. Look at the map where things are exploding. The northern tier of states where windows are open and few have AC are doing better, Canada is fine.
It's hilarious how these schools are reacting to the news of not letting international students be in the country if classes are only online.
They are so paranoid to open campus due to coronavirus, but now they are throwing temper tantrums to try to let international students in. You have to pick - is it safe to be on campus or not safe to be on campus?
It hurts their political agenda of wanted unfettered illegal immigration and visas.

What is your endgame by posting that they are hosting events? This isn’t about sports anymore. The agenda is that they want us locked down again.

A Spring football season for Ivy League makes sense. They would only have to play a 7 game season. The Ivy League doesn’t follow the same season guidelines as other FCS conferences anyway. They didn’t play games until school was in session (which decreased number of games played) and they do not participate in the FCS Championships as all anyway.
They could legitimately start season April 1 and be finished before exams.
No fooling?
With only seven games they can just work their way back from the week before exams; whenever that is. I said earlier to start April 1 but, clearly, I don’t know when they do their exams so it would take someone at the Ivy League office five minutes to figure that.
So if they move all fall sports to the spring, what happens to cross country if it overlaps track season? I assume if they move football to the spring they'll move the other fall sports like volleyball and cross country as well.
Maybe they don’t even have an xc season. Just cut it from the fall and move on with track?
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
