Just my opinion, but I said from Minute-1 that this decision was about money. Our athletic department net loss will be less by not playing vs. playing. And that does not include the risk of lawsuits in the future from players contracting the virus. Harry's first blurb was about it being about the safety of the players. But let's be honest. How much more of a risk is it compared to being an average college student? I think it's more, but not that much more.

So was the decision right or wrong? The virus spread was/is an unknown. The financial loss was known and nothing could change that. The lawsuit liability was unknown. I think based on these factors, the decision was right.
