Are BIG and PAC12 schools allowing students on campus?

If so, this whole thing about cancelling the football season because of health concerns is pure bull. Do they not care about the thousands of students who are much more vulnerable than 100 football players who are in a controlled environment? If I were the parent of a student on campus, I would question the university's decision to shut down the football program because they think it's too dangerous while opening dorms and dining halls for other students.

TR a month ago: "If they can play football, they can have students on campus. All about money."
TR today: "If they can have students on campus, they can play football. All about money."

How so? The first makes sense. The second is just circular logic.
"If we can set up classrooms to keep people 6 feet apart while wearing masks, we can have a bunch of morbidly obese people rub up on each other for several hours a day."
Basically letting the perfect (protecting everyone at all costs) be the enemy of the good (protecting many people to the extent we can).

You obviously never played college football. Other than attending class, we didn't have much free time before curfew Sunday through Friday. If they want to sacrifice a little bit more than we did, they're much safer than the general population.

I know the entire Cal State system is virtual for the fall semester. Only Mountain West Schools there [Fresno State and San Diego State] and that conference already threw in the towel.
As for the UC System [UCLA and UC Berkeley - CAL], CAL has opted to go entirely virtual. LINK /
UCLA is offering 8% of its classes in person. LINK
University of Washington is doing 80% of its classes virtually. LINK /
WSU is doing a "hyflex" approach
LINK /
Oregon State is having no in-person meetings amongst students and staff
LINK
University of Oregon is planning for a responsible and safe return to in-person instruction
LINK /
USC seems to be all online
LINK
Stanford is doing a hybrid
LINK
Arizona State appears to be opening
LINK
Sounds the same for University of Arizona
LINK /
Utah has a hybrid
LINK /
Colorado seems mostly open

Also the whole "attending class" thing means they aren't in "controlled environments." Having "free time" is very different from being in a "controlled environment" when it comes to respiratory viruses.
The only way CFB works this year is to keep them in an NBA-like bubble. Nothing like your experience where you "didn't have much free time before curfew."

I never said the players were in a controlled environment when they were away from the football facilities. Maybe that's why you went back and edited your original post when the down votes started to hit you.
I also never said that football players are subject to curfews today like we were in the old athletic dorm. I merely used it as an example that athletes don't have the same amount of free time as other students, and they're much safer than other students if they're willing to make wise choices with that free time.
Apparently a majority of their classes can be taken online, and they're subject to virus testing and protocols that other students are not. Never said they were in a controlled environment away from the football facilities. Maybe you misunderstood.

Having "free time" is very different from being in a "controlled environment" when it comes to respiratory viruses.
Except this is a vascular virus. That is what's freaking out the decision-makers. They don't know the full scope of what COVID-19 is even eight months after it hit the US.
A 27 year old basketball player "recovers" from the virus only to have [as a side effect] an enlarged heart. He subsequently dies from a heart attack playing basketball after recovery. Five other Big 10 Football players who've recovered have the same diagnosis with their hearts. This is NOT the sniffles.

Or you could just acknowledge that your first post about "free time" and "curfew" was not a legitimate response to my point.

At this point, I'm not even sure what your point was or if I directly addressed it accordingly. And I'm not too concerned either way. You really need to keep minor things from getting under your skin so easily. It's a sports message board. That's all.
