It is just completely asinine to be playing college football games at this time.

1. We are in a raging pandemic getting way worse than ever before.

2. Playing college sports presents an air of normalcy and everything is fine that paints a false picture of reality and belies the seriousness of it.

3. The quarantining of players who test positive or have close contacts is going to vary wildly between teams.

4. False positive tests can incorrectly and unfairly keep players out, like this mind-blowing Davis Mills case.

5. When you have to cancel as many college games as they have, it's a pretty clear indication they shouldn't be playing.

The NFL has it right. If you decide to play, power through everything unless there is a major team outbreak.  This one case leads to quarantines that make playing games impossible or with significantly limited personnel, is silly.

It isn't perfect but I strongly believe that less of these kids are getting COVID in the disciplined environment of a college football season with frequent testing than they would if they weren't playing.  That is my justification anyways for feeling that it is acceptable for the teams to be playing and following the cautious protocols that are leading to some cancellations.
