Scholarship table
Does all this imply that universities don't really care about giving kids the opportunity to pursue a college degree and really only care about the profit? Granted, finances drive the bus. But we're talking about some of the universities with the largest endowments. And they're choosing to remove scholarships/opportunities for those who might not have another way into the school.
And 37 test positive at UNC, so voluntary football workouts paused.https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/unc/article244092037.htmlDominos are falling, folks....
I've asked this on other threads. But how many of these "positive tests" are true positives, vs. false positives. MLB found 66 positive tests, but they tested 3740. That is a positive test rate of 1.8%. That is within the range of false positives observed in most testing platforms. My expectation is that a lot of these positive tests in sports, are really false positive results. That complicates the whole process a bit, as they really should be double testing every individual.
Bingo. Their experts are putting tons of info out there, but the Presidents of the Ivies actually read it and follow the recommendations.
Yup. They have over 27 billion dollars in endowments and they feel compelled to cut sports that don't generate any revenue. Stay classy Stanford.
CFB will be a spring sport. March to June. CBB highly unlikely to have a full season. Maybe conference schedule only. Don’t hold your breath. Baltimore Ravens limiting capacity to 14k in an outdoor stadium. Who thinks fans will be indoors at CBB games??? No matter how you slice it, the situation is not good for sports this year.
Seems like they have been way more than classy ....The financial model supporting 36 varsity sports is not sustainable. The average Division I athletics program sponsors 18 varsity sports. In fact, only one university at the Division I FBS level sponsored more varsity sports than Stanford prior to this change, and that institution does so with a significantly larger budget. Many of our peers at the Power Five level are supported by budgets that are much larger than ours while operating far fewer sports. Stanford’s more than 850 varsity student-athletes today represent 12% of our undergraduate population, a far higher percentage than exists at nearly all of our peer institutions.
That is not going to work, hundreds of seniors and other draft-eligible players will skip the season for the April draft (assuming the draft is in April).This will devastate the top programs. Trevor Lawrence will not play, 15 players from Alabama (their best) will not play, and on and on and on.Jan to March might get them to play, to showcase for the April draft. Basketball will be March to June.
So they are the enlightened and rest of us are mere mouth-breathers ... just like the elite think.

Listening to and following the science, data, and experts shouldn't be political.Some educational leaders are looking and listening and choosing what they see as the safe route.
Sorry but taking everything day-by-day and week-by-week is how we have gotten where we are right now. We need a LONG TERM plan that individuals, businesses, and government entities can plan around.
It's not ideal, but institutions and organizations literally need to take everything day-by-day and week-by week. Projecting what things could look like in September or November or February is a waste of time; things have radically (and not so radically) changed since March - and no one could have predicted where things would specifically be today. Everyone just needs to be patient and enjoy whatever form of education and sports we do get this year (because, honestly, we did not have any of them in Spring and early Summer).
This is kind of ridiculous. People projected in March where we would be today if we did nothing and we are pretty much exactly there.
This is kind of ridiculous. People projected in March where we would be today if we did nothing and we are pretty much exactly there. In other countries where they took decisive, nationwide action, they are well ahead and have largely eliminated the spread and deaths. Our own public health officials told us what to do and we didn't do it. They continue to tell us what to do and we aren't doing it and acting confused why it's not going away. We also need a plan that is national, not regional. You can't have different policies and rules across state lines when interstate commerce is vital to our national operations.A national shutdown with national financial support and universal masking regulations would have changed things radically. We didn't do that, so here we are, and if we continue to not do that, we'll be right here in September and November and February, especially as the latest studies are finding that herd immunity isn't working with this virus because the antibodies don't stay in the body that long and people are subject to being reinfected, especially those that had mild cases the first time around.
Coincidence or not?
