“Lacrosse will be played but expect the ivy and Nescac to opt out which will cause the “wanna be academic elite (patriot and centennial) to do the same” it’s an optics game in and those schools can afford it

When asked how it was at his institution on a day to day... He said the following “ I can go recruit and coach a club team on the weekend with no rules and regulations at all, the school does not provide testing for me I’m on my own but come Monday I’m not allow to get kids on the field to play catch, it’s the twilight zone”

Sickening what schools are doing. Let’s hope states like Florida pull us out of this by example.

So club lacrosse teams should set the standard? That guy shouldn’t be allowed on campus if he is running around with kids that are not practicing safe protocols. His side hustle is only helping to keep the virus circulating. If he is out running around, he should get himself tested. He sounds irresponsible.

He actually gets a test every Monday and Thursday on his own dime because his wife has an immunodeficiency. He acknowledges the risk but understands it can be done and he is in the minority as far as healthy households.

I feel bad for college athletes. It’s time you can’t get back.

While the NESCAC has not yet addressed spring sport competitions, spring athletes should be aware that current conditions would not allow us to engage in competition.

Based on this statement, a lacrosse season this spring is very unlikely to happen.

What is so crazy is somehow there are quite a few "less academic" schools that are having regular practices and the entire school community on campus with minimal to no issues. I guess all those brilliant people running those Ivy, Patriot,NESCAC and Centennial schools, should be making some calls since they clearly can't figure it out

Perhaps this is just a question of acceptable risk and "those brilliant people" put a higher value on the safety of their teachers, administrators, staff and high-risk students.

Oh, you mean the 0.5%?? If you're at risk, hopefully you know enough to take the necessary precautions. Again, it makes no sense to quarantine healthy people. Even the WHO has finally acknowledged this... I

"Sense" is rooted in priorities and everyone's are different. The challenge with this virus is the persistent dearth of rapid testing makes it impossible to identify the "healthy people."

Really? Well, then I'll do it for you: the non-elderly, no co-morbidities, etc, are "healthy people" -- to them the virus is not deadly. Those at risk should take the necessary precautions. Perhaps I should've written: "Commonsense"
