Will there be basketball before Jan? Will all fall sports be canceled? Will we be dropping some sports because of finances?

In brief I would answer no.
A vaccine isn't arriving before 2021.
In general pro sports in the US and most of the world are operating in a strict quarantine situation. Plus they are backed by(unlimited resources) at least in comparison to most situations.
College student athletes- in comparison to pro athletes, are going to interact and mingle far more increasing the chance of someone getting exposed.
Indoor sports arenas? How could that even work.
Still these decisions aren't made purely on medicine grounds. Money, politics, bias gets involved. How else can you justify the possibility that schools are still considering having football in the fall.
If they try to have football then it will likely fail spectacularly and the end result would be all sports being cancelled or shelved.
Then again if our country comes to its senses and people/government start behaving in a responsible manner and we contain the curve like the European and asian countries did then fall sports starting in November. Once again this would require an effort by multiple parties(testing, aggressive contact tracing and isolation) that simply does not seem feasible right now.

College football rosters are about a 100 people. There is another 50 or so support staff that interact closely with them(coaches, trainers,equipment,etc)sweetpea wrote:And you know this how?matrojan wrote:Should there be fall sports before Jan?

What is definition of fail?

My scenario of 20 people would absolutely result in a postponment/forfeit.
This is why any such boot up of a sports season, outside of an enclosed system like the NBA is doing is impossible.
Recently in a call with Dr. Gupta NFL estimated it needs 18k Covid tests a WEEK!. Once again we are talking about a professional organization with a limitless budget. College Football?! with all due respect does not have that.
So yes I wholeheartedly stand by my initial statement that any attempt to start College Footballl will end in failure. You can take umbrage in the use of "spectacularly" qualifier, but it does not change the underlying facts on the ground. The logistics of playing college football during COVID are unfathomable.
I wont even begin on the morality of trotting out student athletes.
Not sure what your background is, but Hydroxychloroquine(Plaquenil) is not an effective treatment for COVID. That has been proven pretty decisively.coug91 wrote:Oral Prophylactic: Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc & Remdesivir
A @#%& of these two drugs + zinc has proven over and over again to work for the vast majority of infected people. The media & political scam/cover up is about this is coming to an end.

Remdesivir is promising but more study is needed.
I am very leery of silver bullets.hungry wrote:How about Tricor (Abbvie) as treatment to keep diagnosed patients off of ventilators & possibly discharged in about 5 days? Israeli & British studies?
Governors did not have the power to Ban the use of drugs. Dont talk nonsense.bojack wrote:Its hilarious that this 50yr old very widely used very safe drug that many more doctors in the know on the front lines of this virus found it effective in treating their patients and it was immediately banned by govenors and dismissed as dangerous by other doctors with an agenda as soon as the fat orange boogeyman said that it might be effective from early reports. Some in your profession should really be ashamed of themselves and held accountable for the harm they continue to do..
Go ahead and give me your very embarrassing science is settled argument again knucklehead.
This is not known for certain. When the league drew up the calendar for the restart of the 2019/20 season, December 1 was the start date for the next season.swampcougar1 wrote:Will there be basketball before Jan? Will all fall sports be canceled? Will we be dropping some sports because of finances?
