There is a lingering suspicion among supporters of the President that his opponents are actually cheering for the infection to get worse and for people to get sick and die.  Comments such as yours makes me think that unfortunately there may be a basis for their suspicion.

Instead of laughing at the ACC, we should all be hoping that these openings go without incident, which would allow college football to restart (and restart safely), and get us towards some semblance of normality.

The great thing about America is that the states are a "natural laboratory" and we can learn from each other.  If things were to go well in North Carolina and the ACC, that would bode well for restarting things in California and the Pac-12.

There is no use in hoping. It isn't going to work. Let's hope none of the older professors die because of this.

UNC athletes do have a carve out to stay on campus along with international students and those without highspeed internet access at home, while the rest got sent home.

I still think CFB is feasible but it would require testing and protocols like the pros have. Not sure its ethical to push for that when many parts of the country still have delayed and limited testing, even if it makes clear business sense as the cost of those tests are miniscule compared to the money being lost.

Would University of Texas or University of Florida hospital systems really use up hundreds of tests weekly and run them within 24 hours to keep football somewhat safe? Would Stanford? I bet a lot of doctors and patients waiting on tests in those hospitals would have problems with that (well, maybe not in SEC country).

I think you've got to test twice a week to do it right. That's a lot of testing and a lot of money.
