    Funny how that works.

    From a herd immunity perspective, ‘guarding’ the 18-24 population couldn’t be more nonsensical. In fact, it’s exactly backwards.

    But that’s where we are.

    Football loses money. I don't think Volsrock realizes how much tuition brings in compared to what sports loses.

    College tuition is one of the biggest scams there ever was.

    It’s outrageous what they charge kids for a simple degree.

    Lets take the $50 million you claim that universities make off football. A university with 50,000 students, that would be $1000 revenue per student, so replacing that would not require doubling tuition.

    But that is not the question, you want to know how football costs money. First, there is the coach, which at a Big Ten school has a salary of about $5 million. Then there is the rest of the coaching staff, another $25 million or so. Athletic scholarships for the players, another $10 million. We are not even talking about the stadium, travel expenses, and shutting down the school for games.

    Profits are often technically negative. Given that revenue is so little compared to the number of students, even if there is a profit, it is usually tiny.

    But what about alumni donations? Many times football is claimed to bring in alumni donations, but the schools that get the most alumni donations have some of the worst football teams. It turns out that alumni donations go to schools that help alumni make money, think MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, etc.

    If the university has "ZERO" students on campus, how would they play football?

    How could it be if all anyone has to have is a vaccine shot, five minutes at the local drugstore and that takes care of that

    Interesting now how all the COVID realities now are only applied to 18-24 year olds. Let me ask you a question, are all those football players flying around the country going to the sheltered in a bubble like the NBA or NHL? Are visits by anyone outside their age bracket going to be allowed? a parent, grandparent, teacher, advisor, assistant coach, trainer, athletic staff member?

    I think you have forgotten COVID is spread via social contact regardless of age group

    Corona does hit kids 18 to 29 and some die. Many who get it will be carriers, non symptomatic. Some doctors are saying vapers are having worse results. But the football players are not all safe. Some will get sick and some may die. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...5%20or%20older. They will carry it all around campus and home.

    This flu is supposed to be 2 shots. When it takes 2, many who get the first do not return for the second.
