The 2020 Season

I was under the assumption that even if the Tennessee game was not played, the check would still be honored?

Most contracts have a provision for no payment under certain circumstances when a game is canceled. There are a lot of articles written about this. Here is one. https://www.toledoblade.com/sports/coll ... 0200424188

Like I said if the SEC cancels OOC games it would cost them millions and millions. Just don’t see that happening. If you are playing conference games, not playing games OOC makes no sense.

There is no current vaccine available for community use and no country on earth that is close to herd immunity. Anyone familiar with the search services Google offers could have obtained that information in about 30 seconds. Since anecdotal descriptions of the severity of the virus seem popular, a 22 year old EMT in Greenville County died of the disease last week.

I could have shared numerous local obits of middle-aged healthy individuals; that was just the most recent.

I was responding to the inaccurate comment that everyone under the age of 65 without a chronic condition would "do fine". Even for those who survive after extended hospitalizations, we don't know the long term sequelae of ARDS and renal failure from the virus, or consequences from the vasculitis syndrome observed in children, but according to the UFFP's resident experts, everyone will do fine.

Poor wording on my part, I was referring to those posts questioning the severity of the virus.

I’m only bringing up this possibility because the conferences are discussing a truncated season. It’s one of the options on the table and therefore something we need to be ready for. We should not just ignore the possibilities. It’s going to be a different year of football.

Martin tested positive back in March and never had any symptoms, just “felt a little fatigued”, he is feeling great, but let’s don’t post that.

Saw the headline, did not read whole article. Thought he got tested during prep for knee surgery & had to be tested. Anyway assumed he had to further postpone the surgery when he tested + , so wondered if he was past whatever knee surgery yet. HIPPAA

Cave, up here in the republic of New Jersey I believe the Njsiaa guidelines Have mandated that all balls be washed after every touch.

The SC High School League released guidelines on Friday for starting summer conditioning and practice. They are incomplete and a little silly in places, but at least it’s a start.

Silly? More like comical.

Down here tennis players can no longer touch each other’s balls.

Furman will return for the fall semester with in-person instruction beginning a week earlier on Aug. 18

Among the safety measures that will be implemented, the university is planning to:
Supply masks for students, faculty and staff, and require everyone on campus to wear masks in designated areas and where social distancing is not possible.
Reconfigure classrooms and take other steps to promote a healthy and safe learning environment.
Modify dining and housing operations to meet health and safety protocols and to prioritize the student experience.
Ask students, faculty and staff to monitor their health daily and to report any symptoms of COVID-19 and to self-quarantine if they are ill.
Create plans for quarantine and isolation, should that become necessary.
Continue to limit public access to campus.

And "... with in-person instruction ... ending at the Thanksgiving break, with final exams being conducted remotely. "
This is relevant to the 2020 season.
Of course, it is unknown how or whether the 2020 season is going to be changed from what is presently scheduled.

From what I understand, I guess the thinking here is that if this virus rears its head again this flu season, Furman will have already broken for the semester and there's no need to come back for more instruction and exams.
