Kudos to @MACSports for stepping up and postponing #CollegeFootball.
The fact is we still don’t know what the long-term complications of #COVID19 will be, so student athletes cannot yet make an informed choice on the risks and benefits of playing.

We know that if the Big 5 conferences decide to go ahead with football this fall, despite the unknown (but potentially serious!) risks to the athletes, many athletes will have circumstances that, rightly or wrongly, compel them to participate.

No scholarship is worth permanent disability from, say, cardiomyopathy from #COVID19.
@theACC @SEC @Big12Conference @bigten @pac12 ought to follow the lead of @MACSports and postpone football until player safety [from COVID and its long-term complications] can be assured.
