Feels like the college football establishment is waiting for a miracle. Ain't happening for a bit given the current trend up for Covid infections. The kids are caught in the middle but having an empty campus with 100 football players doing their thing is very bad policy. This is education for Pete's sake. Should be axiomatic, no students then no activities.

Why?
It's safer for the participants, who undoubtedly want to play.  And the school makes some money, which saves some jobs.
Hell, even the students distance learning may want to have a team to watch and root for on TV.

Why should the policy be:  we have to punish the most number of people positble?  Does "misery loves company" rule the policy day now?

BTW, soccer should play in the fall.  No reason not to.  See PL, Bundesliga, etc.  It's proven to be a relatively safe activity (as far as I can tell from following the sport).
