Somebody needs to show me a list of positives that would result from the Big Ten postponing its football season until spring.
I'll be happy to evaluate such a list in an objective manner.
But good luck forming it. It's impossible.
I can think of only one positive: Risk avoidance. I get that part. University leaders (read: presidents and chancellors) fear their institutions being liable if a student-athlete, if even just one, were to become gravely ill, or worse, from COVID-19. That's obviously a legitimate concern. Having campuses open, period, is a concern. It actually should go without saying.
