fewer people are dying each day from all causes including COVID than they were
when COVID hit. That means as a country each American is safer from death now than when the pandemic hit.

Nice try. Recent weeks take about 6 weeks to update and be comparable to older..

It's not fear porn. It's facts.

Which facts? The death rate, case count? Some facts are more helpful than others

Hoo boy. Fewer people die in the summer than in the winter.

In all fairness, people may be saying "safer" but the internal conversations

It actually makes a lot of sense, from the power conference POV.
Everyman

Sure it makes sense. I mean, no social distancing in your own household, right?

Show me the evidence that COVID is less harmful than the flu?

Yes it is. COVID is less deadly than the flu for people under 50 or so

The CDC estimated it to be less than that a few days ago

Right now we are at 134K deaths. Current projections are

At 164K you’ve hardly changed anything

That is assuming that the low end projections are true...

That is basically one half of one percent of the overall US population, the majority of which was over 70 &already ill.

Do you know anyone that's died of Covid? I do. While both were over 70

With all due respect, go check yourself. Throwing around unChristlike here is ridiculous.

I may have not worded it well...

A couple of thoughts on that...

We will agree to disagree....

I agree, I guess it could help with flexibility? Reduce travel $?

I don't want conference only and I don't think it would do much if at all.

Why would that hurt BYU? They have a contract with ESPN and if any games are

7/8/20 2:13pm
Maybe because BYU is not in a conference perhaps?

Stanford just announce they are cutting 11 Varsity sports, they are never coming
BYU Grounds

They will still have club teams for those sports.

This hurts P5 confs more. No games, no TV revenue for them. They lose the most.

One of the early article I read on this quoted one of the P5 commissioners

Conference only play allows the conference to enforce its rules. The conference
