It’s after 8 est. Are they making a decision or just confirming that everyone in this dumpster fire of an organization have no balls what so ever

I think you mean it is after 8 EDT. It is 7:17pm EST.
Oof forgot that’s a thing that exists
cancel season, wear mask
Power 5 forming their own org. Bye bye NCAA. Bye bye scholarships for many sports.
NCAA says they are not making a decision leaving it up to each division to decide.
That won't go well.

The risk of deciding is high (I think)
Open sports. Athlete dies. NCAA gets sued
Don’t open sports. University faces economic hardship. NCAA gets sued
Rock/hard place...
Power 5 has to play football to survive economically even if it is too risky.
NCAA knows it should cancel, but if they cancel soccer and volleyball, then how can it be safe for football?
So everyone is looking for a way to NOT make a decision. Just kick the can and let someone else be the bad guy.
Coaches and atheltes should be planning safe training and skill instruction in a new paradigm and consider it a perpetual redshirt until vaccine is widely available.
Will they have to return season ticket holders money or claim natural disaster status?

How in the hell coukd anyone sue the NCAA or their school for that reason?! These kids do not live in a bubble. They could never prove that the athlete got the sport doing their chosen sport. It's ridiculous. This is just ridiculous.
Nor could they prove that a fan got covid there if they allowed fans. This is idiotic thinking.
Kids die EVERYY YEAR in most major sports. Real kids. Not college athletes that are getting their school paid to perform at a sport. They've already given these athletes the opportunity to sit out and NOT lose their scholarship.
Football players in the PAC 10 are already trying to hold the NCAA hostage claiming covid 19 concerns when it's really about money and blm.
Never let a good crisis pass ya by without taking full advantage of it!!!
It's not too risky and they do not know they should cancel. That's a joke. P5 football will definitely survive even if there was no season. It's the G5 schools that would struggle.
P5 football isn't going anywhere. Now all the sports that they provide money for might be done for. Especially if these athletes get the 50% (laughable) that some are calling for.
The NCAA would most likely settle, the last thing they want is to go through a discovery process where they are exposed...how about a kid on campus gets sick and dies from it and its traced back to the football team that was out on the road...that would be more than enough for an attorney to take the case and go to trial...the college presidents have huge exposure knowing the risks and it's all traced back to just making money, a jury wouldn't be sympathetic to the money grab...again, the discovery process kills a school and the ncaa
Athletes spread meningitis. Some die. School doesn’t get sued. Life ensures that we all will die. You can’t cheat Death.
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.
Guys between age of 45 and 55 do you think about death or does it seem far away
