His point is that we shouldn't be in a rush to force athletes to perform if it isn't safe.

I understand his point. But I’m saying why he is wrong. Small isolated groups of people are fine.

Good news for UNC + OSU
Brown and his staff have had an outstanding start to the 2021 class and now have the second-most commitments from the ESPN Junior 300 of any FBS program, behind only Ohio State, which has 14.

I'm just happy if we make the ACC Title game. Also, if there's a season.

I think we will have a season.

Crowds? Probably not.

I was considering this yesterday and you could theoretically sell spaced out tickets, but would it be worth the time and trouble?

I had a dream we had crowds at some sporting event, but I can't remember what the event was, other than I was there. And there were like 200 people in the stands total.

I dunno... It'd really change things.

On the OTHER hand, I was picturing a social distancing, 10% capacity Disney World, and was like "Yes, sign me up"

Well, I probably care more about Harry Potter world at this moment, but either way... I'm in. I'll pay extra, I don't care.

Would you pay 10x the amount to have 10% capacity?

The question is what level they would need to make it worthwhile. I'd pay 3x... Maybe 4 or 5x

ESPN must have gotten a lot of heat for promoting OSU during the draft. They are running a bullshit recruiting pitch from Kirby Smart like an actual news headline.

Even if you believe Smart, that's not even remotely news. It's propaganda.

Michigan's trainer apparently knew about the doctor sexually harassing athletes.
