I have no idea why you decided to make this correlation.

I was suggesting that the NCAA is already under a lot of fire for stuff totally unrelated to COVID or scheduling policies (in general, those who believe student-athletes deserve some degree of compensation - I don't have a dog in this fight but it's undeniably a political problem for the NCAA). I guess I'm further suggesting that the patchwork outcome with respect to sports scheduling might add fuel to that particular political fire.

While I do think there's some value in a national approach to scheduling (with respect to equity across conferences) I understand that has to be balanced with local control. It's a tough call, and I don't at all quibble with the decisions of some conferences to move forward. It's an informed choice for the student-athletes. Sorry if this was unclear.
