I am soneone who takes COVID seriously and believe we should protect ourselves and others through social distancing and wearing masks.

HOWEVER -- kids of all ages are returning to school. People are going to work and hanging out with their colleagues. Day cares are open. People are eating at restaurants, shopping at grocery stores and roaming the aisles at Lowe's. We could argue if any of that is the right thing to do. But as long as we are doing those things, it "feels" like with sensible precautions, we should be able to pull off college football.

But if there is no football, so be it.
