With two boys at OSU, I appreciate the university's diligence and efforts to give the kids some kind of on-campus experience. Please do not be bullied by the football parents pushing for football to start again. And please don't be tempted by the money lost. The players still are students and will be back on campus and interacting (hopefully with the social distancing measures you have in place) and having been exposed to a team from a whole different state, they will just raise the risk that much more. And for anyone saying they will all be tested and this and that... well, the science behind even the best testing still says it's not fool-proof. Unless you do a true bubble like the NBA and NHL, testing doesn't keep the team completely safe. And the excessive testing resources the university will use for the football team could be much better put to use keeping the general campus population safe....students, staff, community. Not just the players in one sport.
