Also Dr. Matthay is conducting a stem cell study that may be effective in fighting the virus once a person is infected.
Perhaps one of the furloughed football players will have a genius moment because he has time to think abstractly without getting his head crushed daily.
Also high time for the uber rich NFL owners to spend a bit of cash and create a minor league. The Duluth’s, Fargo’s, Fresno’s and Waco’s of this country will embrace this level of football. To hell with the NCAA.
Minor leagues would serve a previous few. And college sports for some kids is an inducement to higher education. Without that carrot, I would if this wouldn’t be a rather large net loss.
Great on UCSF. Not sure they had much of an athletic program. :) So I don’t really get the connection.
It’s easy to crush the NCAA. They deserve it. But ending college sports is not the answer.
UCSF had an awesome ad campaign in the late 80s: "125 years and still no sports"
