Which is pretty much what I have resigned myself to. I have, perhaps unjustified, optimism we will have one in three or four months though.

August 25, 20205 yr A real interesting ethics study is emerging from OU & Tech (and other schools that have publicly stated a desire to play football in the fall AND are reporting CV19 cases) Given the unknowns around long term effects on a person post CV19 do you allow even if medical staff (which are admittedly biased) clears them to return a player to play football this season or do you make them sit a longer period of time to demonstrate no ill effects? Or do you just do this for players that showed active symptoms vs being asymptomatic? There is no ONE version of CV19 illness, seems to be kind of like real estate in that they way the virus presents in people can vary significantly even in family groups/teams etc Or do you allow players once they are past quarantine period to return (similar to concussion protocol) Given that I have no faith that we will have a viable vaccine at scale (even for next year's CFB season) this dilemma will be something to wrestle with. Do we treat post CV19 infections in players similar to a concussion protocol type deal or as something completely different? Interesting to see where things land for college athletics in general.

Quote Digest these numbers from Iowa’s 2018–19 Department of Education filing: men’s gymnastics rang up a paltry $183,481 in operating expenses; men’s swimming was $263,357; women’s swimming was $244,141; and men’s tennis was $217,608. Combined total: just under $900,000. Now remember this: Iowa paid its alleged racist bully of a football strength coach $1.1 million in a separation agreement earlier this summer. Chris Doyle, described by a host of former Hawkeyes as the worst kind of coaching meathead, got more money to go away than it cost to operate four programs combined. After creating nightmarish negative publicity for Iowa football, Doyle’s separation hush money was the equivalent of 15 months’ pay. He had been the highest-paid strength coach in the country at $800,000 per year. Meanwhile, Iowa swimmers were prepared to pay for their own suits and goggles this swim season.
August 26, 20205 yr Kirk is an asshole and should be embarrassed. Quote Barta gave football coach Kirk Ferentz one of the most ludicrous contracts of all time in 2010, a 10-year deal worth $42 million with all buyouts lopsidedly in favor of the coach. In the decade since, Ferentz has won one (1) Big Ten divisional title and zero (0) conference titles. He could have took a pay cut to help out.

But football is the only sport that makes money at most schools. There’s no budget for the other sports without it. They’ll delay women’s sports, not cancel them.

Seems as though a female athlete who has her sport cut while the boys play on would have a claim of gender discrimination under Title IX. Tossing aside that conferences usually dictate a minimum amount of sports required to participate, you would have a Title IX issue with your hypothetical above. It covers a lot of areas, but in participation it looks at total female opportunities vs male opportunities. Usually to be in compliance you need to either be even OR you can be uneven but offer every competitive sport that can be staged. So, you could have an imbalance of more men to women athletes, as long as you were fielding every female athletic team possible. Once you don't though (e.g. Iowa, Stanford, etc) the cuts come hard and fast to get to even. That's why when you see cuts like these they are generally weighted towards the non-revenue male sports (In the Iowa article, 3 male and 1 female) because there is no female sport, or any other sport for that matter, that has as many scholarships as football.

They both feel the biggest issue is sourcing enough dicks during this pandemic. Apparently Riley has been traveling all over the country trying to find enough to satisfy the whole team. Even though he's the best in the business, he still can't find enough dicks. Then they speculate if OU was in the Big 10 or SEC, would be easier to find more dicks.
