I don’t think the risk to the players is all that great.   Risk to the coaching and support staffs is arguably greater.   For me the question is how much does the continued game play and travel of all the sports that are continuing,  collectively fan the COVID flames in the community at large.   Many of us are in some form of quarantine, lockdown or work furlough trying to “flatten the curve” and reduce the spread.   Why should something as meaningless as college athletics go on, if shutting it down might help to reduce the amount of time we all are stuck in shut downs by even one day?

The virus clearly is not under control.  While the likelihood that any one of us gets COVID and experiences the worst of the symptoms may be low the strain that is being placed on our healthcare system is horrific.  The toll on the healthcare workers themselves has been brutal and the system itself seems on the brink of meltdown from the strains of overflowing demand, shortages of supplies and staffing.  If the system breaks this all gets exponentially worse!!

I’ll surely watch the games as long as they are played.  Is it a good idea to keep playing?  I don’t know anymore.
