That's your bleeding heart talking. He's suggesting giving players an option to choose infection now so that they can further their professional career/prospects and so that he can pay for that opportunity by sitting in his barcalounger watching sports this fall.
You are such a pussy

Should teams go ahead and practice now. Give players hydroxychloroquine z pack under watchful eyes of training staff (anyone, including coaches who are at risk are kept away) and let them practice.
If they do get the Woohan/Chicom Virus, then they get rested and treated. They develop a herd immunity before the fall. Plus, they are away from elderly family.
I can't imagine during the fall season, a bunch of guys playing in the trenches and not having antibodies to fight this thing. Or, just going back to class without the anti-bodies.
Thoughts?

I think the team with the least COVID outbreaks this fall, will be at a great advantage over other teams.
FLU has caused teams to lose to lesser teams. Imagine this crap. It would be better for the student, to get it over with now, before coming back to mix with the student population. If I could do it without exposing more fragile members of my family, I would figure out a way to get this crap and get it over with... loading up on hydroxychloroquine first.

Look...I agree with you that this whole thing is overblown, but people like us are not in charge of these state governments. If states like California, Virginia and Pennsylvania decide it's unsafe to re-open college campuses come August, it's going to be really difficult to get the college presidents on board with allowing football to be played this fall.

i'd bet 95% of these players coaches and staff would agree with it, though. do you not think they want to get paid? and the reason for them not getting paid is to prevent them from getting sick from a disease that many of them will be asymptomatic to and is at no real risk for themselves being healthy young athletes?

If what the OP suggested was implemented optionally, you'd see a huge percentage of athletes sign up for it because:
The value to them in having a season is greater than the risk of the virus.
In other words, your entire argument for players needing to be paid will fall on its face because it would prove that the "compensation" they are receiving is acceptable to them. Of course, we already know this since the voluntarily accept the terms that exist today.

Are you really suggesting that the OP is for forced infection of the student athlete? Really? Really?
You are a retard, if so.

Please explain how proposed idea fits criteria: test subjects.

I think you’re wrong. Why would any reasonably sane human being intentionally expose himself to any virus, much less one that has just entered the population? There are simply too many unknowns.
Every person reacts a bit differently to an infection. The school that endorses the intentional infection of its athletes better have its endowment available to compensate the parents of someone who has an unknown underlying condition and dies.

Forced participation in this proposed combination drug test and practice regimen? I would not put that outside the realm of possibility for some organizations.

Bad idea.

You can't purposely expose people to the virus so you can watch football ! Are you that dumb ?

An elite athlete has a limited career-span. They understand this.

So, you acknowledge that this isn't forced? What are you objecting to? That some might choose to agree to planned infection so they can more quickly further their career, while others would choose not to?
Be specific. What are your objections?

He's going from "test subjects so that fans can watch" to "willing participants who want to maximizing their limited career opportunities".
That's a monumental U-Turn.

That's because you posited that the OP meant voluntary--something that has yet to be verified.
