Let me just say that the outcry around the country today reminds me a lot of parenting my children. Lots of time they wanted beach days but hadn't done their work in the classroom or around the house. They didn't get those beach days.
America didn't do the work necessary to safely play college football this fall. I hope we react to this like adults and figure out what went wrong and then fix those problems, even if the solution is difficult or unpleasant.
Or, we can react like children and shout louder in the hopes that reality will magically change.
It won't.

What was the necessary work and the expected outcome of that work? Did you think we’d get to a point where sports would be played and there would be zero outbreaks with college teams? The NBA is having zero outbreaks because they did the work by spending hundreds of millions to create an acceptable environment. That isn’t realistic for college sports.
