Quite a few of those leagues have had only isolated COVID outbreaks.
The athletes seem to understand that to get money from their sport and their sponsors they need to do everything possible to keep COVID out.
Amazing how $$$ can drive behaviors.
And yet, I watch these college conferences trying to wring money out of their amateurs and it just feels so wrong.
I understand the ACC, SEC and Big12 are likely chasing TV $$$, but what are those minor conferences with minimal TV revenue doing out there.
The early college football games has revealed to me that any top draft prospects should just opt out and prepare for their draft.
1. Collecting a paycheck for their school; and
2. Winning! (well, Arkansas State and the Ragin' Cajuns, anyway).
