--- Quote from: IAA Fan on July 17, 2020, 09:26:41 AM ---Also, consider this; MBB lost their season last year and I see no possible way that the NCAA, along with conferences, are going to allow this to happen again. Midnight Madness this year is Tuesday October 12th. (I could be off a couple of days either way on this). So do you think fans are going to stand for the NCAA to play MBB and NOT football when playing at the same time? Many football conference seasons have just begun that same weekend. This is why all the talk about In-Conference only. Schools and Conferences know that sports will return by this time.

Nobody has made a credible argument on this "conference only" schedule thing. This makes NO sense to me. Without the non-conference schedule MBB will need an additional ton of cash. 1AA, you are the guy on cash losses, how are your supporting conference only play?

I believe the rationale behind conference only is that you can agree on and adopt common safety / testing protocols as a conference.

OR, "I believe the rationale behind non-conference play is that you can agree on and adopt common safety / testing protocols as a non-conference opponent."
I turned on the Indians game last night and Lindor was playing shortstop wearing a mask! Who the hell is going to infect him at shortstop!?!?!? At the peak, there were some 40,000,000 people out of work due to COVID-19 Well, with 164,000,000 workers in Feb. 2020 that means some 75% of the workforce or some 120,000,000 Americans and immigrants continued to work so that we could eat, drive, run our air conditioners etc. every day. Some poor slob is getting $12 an hour to disinfect the toilet seats in Progressive Field so Lindor can sh** in comfort and safety. I am totally fed up with the coddled prima donna athletes in the country. Get to work and do your job, just like the rest of us!

So if a team has 3 OOC games they are supposed to change their safety protocols 3 times depending on who they are playing? What about season long precautions like player quarantines, practice restriction or testing. What if the OOC game team you’re playing this week doesn’t agree with the protocols your team used in your first OOC game and is worried your team could infect their players.
It’s just more practical to come up with a set of protocols and rules as a conference.

While I understand your point Kandrase, it seems rather ridiculous to suggest such small measures, while well intentioned, will actually achieve much in the way of safer conditions. There is no way there should be a season this year. Doubt we will have one.
