My son's AD just got word that sports are a go for NCAA D1 this fall. P5 schools in conference then revisit postseason.
There's going to be a lot of people who will blindly treat this as truth and not question the fact that he's referencing his son and a personal relationship with the AD. There is not a single AD in the US that is going to tell anyone anything until it's been vetted by several other people.

With that being said, fall sports are still not happening.
Be careful. You are insinuating that the P5 conference officials were lying when they stated that they will play conference sports.
More than 5000 high school baseball and softball games were played in Iowa this summer with no distancing. There were only 10 teams out of 500 who had to take a break due to Covid.
Fake News
The big ten said they will play conference only if they can play at all.
A dirt field in Iowa is not The Big House or wherever on a Saturday night. NCAA football and the NFL will not be happening.
And if NCAA football is not happening, no college sports will be happening.
If you consider NASCAR with no fans a "sport," there might be one or two things you can watch this fall.

Yeah a dirt patch in iowa is quite comparable to the big house or Beaver Stadium. You just keep making that reference to IOWA HS SPORTS. See how it compares to 110,000 people in Beaver stadium.
Actually it does.
Al Carius just stepped down as North Central's College's coach after 54 years. Something tells me he wouldn't leave a month before the season if there was going to be a season.
Anyone who thinks there are going to be college sports this fall is delusional.
Not saying it is the same. But a youth tournament was held last weekend with 4000 people from 7 states all clustered together. Seems that would have a similar viral spread as 30,000 in a stadium seated every 3rd seat would have because that is the plan of the big 10.
The vote is on Friday and it is expected that all ncaa fall championships will be cancelled. It is expected that football despite not having a formal NCAA championship (the Football championship structures exists outside ncaa) will also cancel for fall.

And how many people including kids passed it on to adults who then became sick or died..the issue is far greater than how many kids getting covid and fielding a team

The P5 schools don't need to fill the stadiums. They can leave them empty. They make most of their money from their TV contracts anyways (for example the current Big 10 contract for 2.6 BILLION with Fox and ESPN is worth as much as 54 million a year to EACH SCHOOL. The Pac 12 receives $250 million a year from Fox and ESPN, and another $120 million a year from the Pac 12 Network deals...thats $30.8 million a year for EACH SCHOOL, The SEC distributed 44 million to each school.) The Power five conferences racked in 2.75 billion in revenues for 2018 (the last year on record for taxes) The Pac 12 brought in 339 million in TV money last year, and 40 million in ticket sales. Ticket sales are NOT important for power five schools. They are much more important for smaller conferences.
I work in college athletic administration. Football will be a go this fall. Without a doubt. Smart move! ?

Children are poor vectors for Covid-19. They don't get it at the same rates as adults and the don't spread it like adults do even when they get it. The ECDC (European Centers for Disease Control has said that "children are unlikely to be primary source cases".

Okay this actually made me laugh. No AD at a P5 school would ever talk to an athlete about this. I would give you a 0/10, but since it made me chuckle I’ll give you a 2/10.

Well this is all a government psy op and everything will be taken away regardless. Not gonna have to worry about watching them on TV, not gonna happen.
