Well, don’t this just tear it.
Sources tell KSR that SEC athletic directors met virtually on Wednesday to discuss lifting restrictions on team activities, practices, and other organized gatherings, which currently run through May 31. The vast majority of the athletic directors supported allowing players to return to campuses on June 1; however, one athletic director spoke out against it, arguing that the ban should be in place indefinitely: Tennessee’s Phil Fulmer.
However — and you knew there’d be one, right? —
After discussing it with the group, Fulmer proposed the date of June 15, but many believed that was too late for players to be ready to start the season on schedule. From there, the discussion was tabled for next week.
The final decision will be up to university presidents and chancellors on May 22, but the league’s athletic directors want to present a unified front. Had Fulmer not spoken up, the assumption is the group would have given the presidents an unanimous recommendation to lift the restrictions to allow players to return to campuses June 1, with a vote possibly taking place earlier than May 22.
They playin’.

Yeah they playin’.
We’re already seeing coaches and kids at the high school level on our fields. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a fall baseball season for the underclassmen cut short in this spring.

Students aren’t on campus this summer but it doesn’t matter. Gotta get the unpaid labor back to work as soon as possible.
The SEC…it just means more (money).
What a joke.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the flu or the economy. But I get it…you want your football. Not enough to donate to the Hartman Fund or buy season tickets mind you (let’s not get crazy here!). But you still want it.

He just wants to keep that perceived offseason momentum they have going in vol la la land after a stirring comeback win against mighty Indiana. He doesn’t do anything that isn’t in his own self interest.

Maybe Fulmer understands obese people are higher risk.
We should be passing 100,000 Covid deaths right around June 1st. Opening campus for football players doesn’t seem like the best way to commemorate the occasion. But at least we’ll be concentrating a disproportionate amount of testing services on football players, rather than the higher risk general population.

Curious about what the SEC policy for when a player who tests positive. Will the whole team be in quarantine? Will the team they played the week before be in quarantine?

What happens if a player tests positive in, say, week 3 of the season? Does the team then forfeit the season? Are players freely able to transfer to a team that hasn’t had a positive test? What if players refuse to participate? Do they lose their scholarships? How about coaches?

If we just don’t test them, we won’t know if they’re positive 🤫
