How will Football Look?

[BADSANTA]

I hope the COVID-19 numbers have spiked and we can get this thing down. These kids deserve a right to earn a scholarship but have to consider their saftey 1st. Again I could see a scenario where there isnt any football until late September.

You may be correct on that. Looks like that’s one of a few possibilities.

they should do away with ALL athletic scholarships and only give scholarships for academics.

Many of the more intellectuals are against Sports of any kind.   Could some kids playing football get Coronavirus?   Sure.  Could they get it anyway?   Sure.   And who’s the least likely to have adverse affects from it - a teenager in good physical condition.   

If I thought HS football would be more dangerous from a Covid aspect, I’d be against it, but I don’t see it.  But hey, I’m just another Yahoo with an opinion.  Kids are going to be around other kids.

Athletics bring in more review than professors. Why do that? Texas, Ohio St, Bama, and Clemson football bring in the money to that makes the school go. I would vote to pay kids $2500 a game.

You do that and most schools will tank. Looks what's happening now in the Ivy League and Notre Dame.

If you arent giving sports scholarships, they star kids wont come. They dont come, your team is trash. Team is trash no televised games. Zero sponsorships. There will never be a time that college doesnt pay for athletic talent. That's your revenue generation.

Problem it not, that’s the way it is.

The high school athletes playing is the most important thing. They must find a way to have a season, even if it is delayed.  Even if there are no fans allowed. No doubt I would be disappointed in not seeing high school football this year.  I have only missed 4 total PNG football games in 55 years.  I could survive not seeing the games, but the players need the opportunity to showcase their talents.  Praying God will overcome this virus, quickly!

[EAGLEFOREVER]

What good will delaying the season do? Do y'all think that the Covid-19 is going away? Do y'all think maybe they will have a vaccine? Nothing they do, will eradicate this disease. Not even vaccines are 100%, people will still get it. There is no guarantees with life.

Because football isn't supposed to start till August 3rd right?

They have a right. Excell in the classroom = scholarships.

Real life > HS football. (And that comes from a die hard HS Football fan)

That is exactly what is ruining HS Football.

That would not make the grade for me. I would sue their homesick arses.

Honestly I don’t know. The 7th and 8th graders were just told to report to the High School with cleats, water, and a mask for conditioning drills.

Then it is probably illegal. Depending on what they are doing?

I doubt very serious that there doing anything illegal. I don’t know what the upside would be to do something like that.
