if its a choice between providing education to have-nots and
athletics experience, I know what I would choose in a heartbeat.

I also know which one I would choose in a heartbeat... it just
probably isn't the same as yours.

There is also this possibility mired in the mix:
What if our entire notion of a university, especially as it
pertains to student life and gathering and sports and
atmosphere, will be modestly/significantly/completely changed in
the next several years or possibly our lifetimes because of
health protocols and risks? What can any university do on the
sports and student life end of things before that other big
thing gets figured out? Is our vision of the vibrant university,
built from past experience, applicable in the future?
And certainly there will be many opinions about the virus
situation and where we stand. Go to your favorite partisan news
source today and you'll get all the answers you want to hear.
Truth is, we don't know, and it's possible "a university" will
need to be re-imagined by taking a hard look at what it can and
cannot do. With regard to the interests here, that could be a
change or end to some sports, to the fan experience, even what
it means to "go to" a university.

This is a good point, but I think the change you're talking
about pertains to the cost of school overall, and with class
time being augmented with online learning and community college
is the traditional four year school with the big tuition, room
and board, student debt, etc. worth it? Many already decided
college was a bubble and didn't want to partake. As far as
student life? I think that will bounce back. It's not like
people will never go to a bar or congregate ever again just
because of a once in 100 year virus. I expect things to come
back. Will take a couple years, but they'll come back.

[quote]Ultimately the myriad complexities proved to be too
difficult to overcome, leading to the difficult decision to
postpone fall sports to the spring.

Chief among those complexities is travel. Almost half of our
scheduled football opponents (Florida Atlantic, Towson,
Richmond, Delaware and William & Mary) are in states that
require a 14-day self-quarantine when traveling to New York. We
would have had to scramble to find opponents, a situation made
all the more complicated with potential regional opponents from
the Patriot and Ivy Leagues taken off of the board due to their
earlier decisions to postpone fall sports.
As part of our budget planning, we asked each head coach to
identify cost savings that could contribute to our overall
savings plan. That process resulted in trips canceled,
scholarships saved, positions left unfilled and equipment
purchases curtailed. Our head coaches deserve tremendous credit
for their understanding and willingness to seek solutions in
support of the department's fiscal needs.
In the America East, sport-specific task forces were created to
examine scheduling scenarios that would ensure more regional
contests and less travel. The CAA went so far as to create six
potential schedules, including one that had each team playing a
home-and-home series against four conference opponents. Imagine
having two bites at the Golden Apple in one season!

I'm all in favor of full on cancellation of fall sports
including football. Just wear your goddamn masks and hopefully
in 2021 we'll be ready to try again.

What if in 2021, we are in the same position. Cancel sports
again? This crap is not going away. We, as a society need to
make adjustment and live our lives and move on. A vaccine will
most likely be available by the fall of 2021, but how many
people will take it. Not me! Does that pose a threat to sports?
I say play ball but with no fans, Just like in MLB.

Assuming it works out, the vaccine will be key to containing
this. If people continue to wear masks and get the goddamn
vaccine (Just take it, not having that debate right now) yes
we'll be fine for sports in 2021. Vaccination of athletes will
likely be mandatory along with students who intend to come on
campus.

That's my problem. I will not be forced to be vacainted by a
rush job, hurry up drug. I also have a HUGE problem with
government control, (socialism) telling me what to do, when to
do it, and how to do it. If that means I cant go into any major
sporting event, coliseum, etc..... So be it. I'll watch it on
television!

Not looking to get political at all, but since EVERYTHING is
political today, I expect half the country to get the vaccine;
half not. I've heard that we need 50% compliance to achieve
herd immunity, so a working vaccine could achieve that.
