How is it that 6 conferences are playing, and these pansy conferences throw in the towel? They play outside, they are young, and they want to play. Of course those with underlying medical conditions should not play if they choose. Same goes for all players, if they don't want to play it's their choice. As far as playing in the spring, it's stupid for a lot of reasons. Also, any talk of dropping down to D1AA is moronic.

I disagree and I am thankful and proud of President Freeman's courageous leadership on this issue. She is a research scientist and she followed the best science available at the time of her decision. We will know soon how safe it is or isn't for schools and conferences that are taking another approach. I do hope that very few athletes and fans and those they come in contact with become sick from their decision to play. We will learn much in the weeks and months ahead. Either way, I am convinced that NIU and the MAC made the right decision.

I also know that some people disagree and they are entitled to their opinion.
