Do you think they are making these decisions with officials and other things coordinated with other conferences etc? I don't see how conferences can move things without affecting other conferences and championships and 5 other things I'm not even thinking of. Timing companies. Venues. And how are people looking at the same information and doing such different things?
Very true. Kenyon's flagship sport is swimming. I don't know if Oberlin has a flagship sport.To be fair, I doubt the rest of the NCAC realized that Oberlin and Kenyon had football.
Literally might be the most successful NCAA program across any sport and classification.Kenyon's flagship sport is swimming.
They have pretty good XC and track programs every now and then.Very true. Kenyon's flagship sport is swimming. I don't know if Oberlin has a flagship sport.
Denison is giving them a run for this title now...Literally might be the most successful NCAA program across any sport and classification.
Denison men have had the upper hand of late taking 3 of the last 4 NCAA team titles but have a ways to go to upstage Kenyon's all-time success. Kenyon men's swimming has won 34 NCAA team titles which, according to the school's website, is tied with Oklahoma State's wrestling program for the most NCAA team titles in any single sport across all NCAA divisions. Add the success of Kenyon's women's swimming program w/ 23 NCAA team titles which is the most of any program in any sport across all NCAA divisions (UNC women's soccer is 2nd w/ 21 NCAA titles), and it's no contest.Denison is giving them a run for this title now...
The flagship sport at Oberlin is protesting....and they are not very good at that either. Guess that is why they were sued and had a multi-million dollar judgement against them. Despicable school to say the least.Very true. Kenyon's flagship sport is swimming. I don't know if Oberlin has a flagship sport.
I heard an estimate last night that 4 THOUSAND colleges & universities & trade schools across the US will go out if business if we're still at the same point a year or two from now. Only the ones with huge endowments could weather it.
I don't no whether the estimates have validity or not, but what I am sure about is that we could lock the whole country down, no work at all, no shopping, and everyone living on rice & beans & water, then re-emerge and we'll STILL HAVE THE VIRUS with us and develop all new infection rates again!!! The whole lockdown mentality is WRONG!!! The whole focus should be on minimizing exposure to THE MOST VULNERABLE, NOT TO EVERYONE!!! The vast majority of us HAVE to go back to work, school, & other activities! If we keep up this non-sense for another 6-12 months, we will DESTROY this country!!! People need to learn to live with risks in life. We do so everyday with every other virus & disease & other activities of mankind that have inherent risks & known accidents & rates of death...yet, we don't try to destroy our livelihoods by shutting down institutions & activities. These schools & other entities are going to reap the whirlwind. Time to indemnify all institutions against all lawsuits regarding this virus, make it illegal for any lawyer to file any suit, and frankly financially destroy those lawyers that would attempt to do so. I'm tired of living in a country of cowards that are afraid of everything that comes down the pike. Land of the free & home of the brave? What a crock.
Damnit people, let's do what we can REASONABLY to mitigate personal exposure thru masks, cleaning surfaces, minimizing exposure to those who are MOST at risk, & pursuing vaccinations & medical support for those affected. BUT WE MUST GET BACK TO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really. My views from March are still my views today. I mean what I wrote. 5-10 years from now, if we're still a functioning Republic, a lot of good hard data will show tha the virus killed who it was going to kill regardless of masks & social distancing. We still don't have a full understanding of all its transmission methodologies....we are just guessing at this point that it can somehow be stopped if only everyone would wear a mask & "socially distance" themselves. That will be shown to be a fallacy in the course of time, IMHO. This thing is finding other methodologies that most are missing. How one's body responds to it is of primary importance. I myself believe I've already been exposed months ago. My sister & her family had symptoms that fit COVID starting in December & continued to April of this year, off-and-on. Her family never stopped working the entire time, and I was exposed to them WITHOUT masks many multiple times during & after that period. I myself have shown ZERO symptoms. Ive also been exposed to someone who most likely had it back in February. For those that have terrible reactions to it, my heart goes out to them & those who have lost loved ones. That said, I stand by my opinions I stated earlier, regardless of whether people think I've "cracked".JAVMAN83 has finally cracked.
While I understand your viewpoint & respect it, I feel it necessary to remind all that the future is guaranteed to no one. The Class of 2020 just had their senior seasons taken from them for LIFE, and a few of those kids won't be alive in 2021. Two 2020 Trotwood-Madison kids were recently killed in an auto accident. The reaction to COVID, not the virus itself, robbed those kids of their senior seasons.I want to have a fall season.
But I have faith in the experts in the medical field right now who spent 7-10 years getting their degree to make these tough decisions.
If they have some underlying purpose to do this their day will come in the future.
I totally agree. I also agree that these seniors being robbed of their senior year. It stinks. But I am shocked how most of the parents I have talked to don't use it as an opportunity to teach their kids that sometimes things are totally out of their hands and you have to grow from it and be a better person.While I understand your viewpoint & respect it, I feel it necessary to remind all that the future is guaranteed to no one.

Exactly our county just had 2 18 year old 2020 grads die in separate auto accidents, it was quite sad seeing their obits in the paper next to each other. But no talk of lowering speed limits or raising driving age because life/freedom has risks. The county had 3 school age kids die of H1N1 but nothing was shut down. Meanwhile there as be 2 deaths from CV-19 one in 70's and one in 80's and the fear is so great that nearly everything is shut down.While I understand your viewpoint & respect it, I feel it necessary to remind all that the future is guaranteed to no one.
