...”Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN that football players would need to be placed in a “bubble” environment, isolated from others, for a season to be successfully staged this fall and winter amid the novel-coronavirus pandemic.

“Unless players are essentially in a bubble — insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day — it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall,” Fauci told the network. “If there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year”...
Would someone please shoot Dr. Fauci ...

University of Richmond football players and men's and women's basketball players can return to campus starting on July 15, the school announced Wednesday.

The process includes a 14-day pre-report risk assessment, a self-quarantine period, a COVID test upon arrival to campus, regular temperature checks, and pre-participatory medical exams, according to the school.

The student-athletes will train in small groups during the first two weeks back on campus.

Individuals who test positive for COVID will be placed in isolation, per Virginia Department of Health guidelines. Contact tracing will be conducted to identify any close contacts.

Is STFU going to try and make a daytrip out of it?? Or is it because the virus supposedly weakens in the sunlight?
 
I believe there was a clause in the contract that all games between STFU & UR are required to be rescheduled at least once. I worry it’s not the last change to this game...

I’m glad that you saw the HINT-1st Amendment.More to come for other games as well.
 
Do we get zero dollars or more than zero dollars from Pitt?

Feels like the path to having a season narrowed considerably with the ACC announcement.
 
Let'um play. They are strong healthy athletic kids in peak condition. People that age are gathering in groups anyway, we all know that. Plus the fact that they want to play. Protect all the older folks around them and play ball.

With 12 Members for football, I believe the Colonial should go to an eleven game conference schedule where each school plays one another (for this year only). If a 12th game (money game) is still available....Fine. If nothing else, the integrity of the conference schedules would even out.

Not gonna happen.Wish it were but ain’t gonna happen.

We are heading toward a bus ride only schedule.In other words,we play within our pod and play 2 games with an adjoining pod.

We would likely play H-H with JMU,WM,Elon.H w/Towson and A w/Nova or UD.

In other words,

North pod: Maine, UNH, URI, Albany
Central pod: Stony Brook, Villanova, Delaware, Towson
South pod: JMU, Richmond, W&M, Elon
