Thanks a lot, jerks.
You mean masks with no medical rating like 99% of the people are wearing? Kalamazoo County has a .003 death rate. 220 die every day die in Michigan from unrelated causes. Stay in you're basement if your scared.

Mask wearing is the easiest, simplest and smallest effort we can put in to potentially help our situation. But some people have politicized it and built it into something it's not. Medical experts have all said that it helps. And it doesn't hurt in any way to wear a mask while indoors around stranger, or in close proximity outdoors.
The anti-mask movement is so pathetic.
There's going to be more than the disbanding of the MAC by the time this is over, when ever the hell that might be.
Nothing new on the Big 10. I guess their meeting today was just on the practicing. Time will still tell, but appear they're still going forward.
The Big10 said that practices can continue but players can wear no more equipment other than helmets. Therefore, no hitting or tackling.
Meaning they're still planning season as of right now.
Anyways, I predict we don't have Spring 2020 season (note I was right when this started there wouldn't be a fall season)
Quote:There's going to be more than the disbanding of the MAC by the time this is over, when ever the hell that might be.
I don't see a disbanding of the MAC, though. Wouldn't know why there would be. But the MAC sitting it this season is really bad, as I pretty much have to put myself on suicide watch.
I honestly would bet that by Spring practice, things will be way better and there won't be any doubt about the 2021 season. But I agree that I don't see a Spring 2021 season coming along either. At best, I could see some unofficial/scrimmage games between teams here and there.
This whole thread is a huge lol

I’m not laughing. In Michigan, we’re still putting infected patients inside nursing homes, but 20-year-olds can’t play college sports. It’s smug madness.

Based on what? We're at a 3% positive rate and they don't want kids in school
In some ways it could be the death of the MAC. What was a feasible conference long ago has over the years seen rising costs, Title IX, declining student enrollment, Covid shutdown, players getting paid now, etc.
Especially if a 2021 season isn't held.
I'd like to think the MAC teams would try to stay together if they had to drop a level or 2, but if it was every man for himself, playing in the GLIAC could be fun, developing rivals w/ GVSU, visiting road games in the UP, National Championship hopes; then maybe someday once we've recovered from the lockdown, we could try D1 again.....
I love D1 FBS, even D1 G5 FBS, but some big changes may be coming.

Now they're saying it's ok for kids to be in school.

Right. But no one is listening. That's the conditioning we talked about.

Correct. & it goes w/ the 'how will we know when it's over' question.

So many baseball games are being canceled due to outbreaks on MLB teams. Only three days into the new shortened season the Marlins had to stop playing for 10 days, now its the Cardinals. Baseball has far less players involved and has players spread out far from each other (except for the catcher and whoever is at-bat) on the field. There's no way college football with over 100 players and all the coaches, trainers, etc. is not going to have outbreaks. You have players tackling and lining up right in front of each other.

You're probably right. Even if we are "out of the woods" the goalposts will be moved again to put us squarely back into the woods.
I expect it is a pipe dream that Covid danger will be less in the spring.

it is
Funny how I got lambasted for suggesting FCS might be the way to go and now people think the MAC is disbanding and could go for DII. The MAC is the only bus league left in DI. It could drop to FCS but it's not going anywhere.

How many Marlins have died?
