Spineless Administrators who like the middle of road and make decisions on the fly !…So Sad !
Finally, an organization that makes policy based on sound medical advice! Particularly in view of the FACT that young people can not only get Covid and die, but also pass it on to friends and family. I’m a big college football fan and will miss it, but this is the right decision. And perhaps a good occasion to re-evaluate the ridiculous salaries being paid to head coaches in all these sports. I always thought college existed to get an advanced education, not be an entertainment industry.
With respect you aren’t using the facts, but that doesn’t stop anyone these days. College athletes, especially at D1 level, are the healthiest humans on the planet. They aren’t dying from covid- you can’t point to one example in the US of this because it doesn’t exist.
It’s a shame that everyone is so focused on shutting down these sports instead of looking for creative ways to enable them. I guarantee every athlete would rather play in an empty stadium with a TV crew vs not play at all- for example.
I do agree that colleges will lose over time from this and support for the programs will wane as athletes with professional aspirations will just look to minor leagues to advance careers instead of trying to figure out which college will support sports. Same will happen at high school level…kids will opt out of school sports full time for private leagues, travel, etc.
Funny – you think this is about Covid – Once President Trump came out and supported playing the season, the College Presidents could not meet fast enough to vote down the season.
Multiple college players who have tested positive have also shown serious heart damage-potentially long term and life changing.
This is much more than the flu…
Very sad for college towns/busnises AND tailgating😞!
Just for the record Luke P, I am a loyal graduate of IU undergrad and IU school of medicine and get medical bulletins daily. So I do know and understand the facts!
Jeff I’m just asking for some data to support your claims because i don’t can’t find them.
The stats I’m reading supplied by IN shows <0.1% deaths in this age group (on 2,800 total deaths… 90%+ over 60).
This all seems concentrated on protecting the youth from risk. Yet last year roughly 70 kids were killed in car crashes in IN…nearly 35-70x more risky than covid death. Suicide is next. Has there been any analysis to show increases of depression in this age group, which could lead to more teenage suicides. This wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume given these kids have spent most of their childhood getting to this level only to be taken away. I’m just pointing out there in another side to this argument that seems to be lost on people who cheer this decision.
So, let me see if I understand this. It is too dangerous for the BIG 10 to have football, soccer, volleyball, cross-country and field hockey…too dangerous for The Kelley School of Business to have I-Core and most other classes in-person…but it is OK to have students in their dorms, fraternities and sororities, with no classes to attend? And, in the case of IU, raise the cost of tuition…
Thank You. The hypocrisy that exists today on what we decide is ok or not ok is mind blowing. This pandemic is a terrible thing for everyone, but we live in a society (fortunately) that allows people to make their own decisions. We all know that there are risks associated with COVID and if we don’t feel comfortable with those risks we stay home or certainly try to minimize our exposure. Nobody forces anyone to play football, go to public places, or do much of anything if they don’t want to. The spineless decisions that are being made to cancel everything is just insane. Masks and social distancing work. Let’s generate plans that don’t disrupt the lives of so many needlessly
No surprise here. For the most part, college administrators are a bunch of left-wing cowards and are scared of their own shadows. And they waited until August to make this decision???
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren resides in Chicago. Any surprise here?! He actually just said in his B1G Network interview that Covid deaths have spiked in B1G states. What a joke. Couldn’t be farther from the truth. Releasing a schedule and then cancelling 6 days later is a joke. Someone got to him and it had nothing to do with the virus.
Friendly reminder: As of today, there are 270 Covid deaths nationally under the age of 25 in the United States. Source: Search CDC by Covid Death by Age.
There are just under 93 million Americans under the age of 25 years old. Source: Statista.com
Can someone please try to compute the death rate for me? Can’t imagine the college drop-outs that revert to drugs and alcoholism when they don’t have football this season. Death rate Among student athletes will be infinitely higher from the season being cancelled. Poor seniors.
They have essentially pulled the plug on themselves. They are worthless, spineless and without any leadership skills whatsoever. Why do you have an ALTHETIC CONFERENCE if you vote not to do anything? You serve NO PURPOSE. This will cost MILLIONS OF DOLLARS; does anyone get that? This could for all practical purposes end collegiate sports for the foreseeable future!
At some point, I hope a lot of University Presidents and others responsible for this TRAIN WRECK gets FIRED!
‘Good responses to Jeffrey F., Luke P, especially the second one. Hold his feet to the fire.
Haven’t you read about Brady Feeney, an Indiana football player? Pretty serious and he’s telling others not to take COVID lightly…https://sportsnaut.com/2020/08/indianas-brady-feeney-who-has-serious-health-complications-from-covid-19-speaks-out/
Sorry guys but instead of sitting on the couch and watching college football, you’re going to have to go outside and do yardwork. Or read a book. Or, the horror, talk to your spouse.
Luke P……this player may not be dead but his symptoms are very serious and may affect him the rest of his life. .https://sportsnaut.com/2020/08/indianas-brady-feeney-who-has-serious-health-complications-from-covid-19-speaks-out/…..
This is sad to read and I really hope he’s ok. Thanks for sharing the story.
Below is a link to a study showing deaths of college athletes over a 10 year period. Of the 182 listed during that time, 52 or roughly 5 per year were due to suicide and 6/yr were due to heart conditions where the athlete didn’t realize they had a pre-existing heart condition. I really hope the suicide numbers don’t increase this year but that is my main concern.
In the past our society has looked past these tragic deaths, so why now should we believe the reason these universities are canceling sports is in the name of athlete safety?
https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82821004.pdf
I see the players want a seat at the table. Noble request but since the table won’t exist they better come up with another plan. We have a lot of people running around today with a false sense of importance and power-thinking they get to dictate their every move. (Like trashing downtown urban areas) All the bellyaching by the players is gonna backfire when there aren’t any teams, scholarships etc.
Why are they saying anything? The Big Ten and now the PAC 10 have abrogated their sports for fall and in essence have broken their agreement with the schools and fans and participants. They are not athletic conferences any longer. They have said there will be no intercollegiate athletics so what is their use? They rule over nothing. The people or forces that are running things do not intend for the general population to see Pro Sports or major college competition again. Their standard is “no more instances of COVID 19.” This is not going to happen. A zero cases condition, is not going to occur. Until sanity returns, get out your old tapes, tune in the ESPN Classics channel or the computer games and dream about the “good old days” because they are gone; or at least till sanity returns.
Breaking News: Big Ten has permanently cancelled all sports due to the annual flu for which a billion people a year get globally and there is a “vaccine”. Fortunately “NO” in the entire globe was has died of the flu this year, curious!
I’ll be glad when November 3rd gets here so we can move on to the next impeachment trial. I almost miss old lying Nades, at least that didn’t destroy the entire global economy. Yes is too was propaganda but at least the business travel was active. With the level of vacancies in Metropolitan downtown area’s the buildings will be kindling for the domestic terrorist to burn. They can’t loot them they already stole all of the stuff that was there.
Remember in Indiana (SoI-Dept. of Health web site) 66% of the purported deaths C-19 occurred in long term care facilities, lesson learned stay away from LTC facilities.
Thank you Big Ten for being enlightened and making a decision for thousand of athletes, millions of fans because we are to ignorant and incapable of making our own decisions.
