It's shortsighted to think that since the athletes were granted an additional year of eligibility that they will automatically return. Most PSAC student-athletes are paying for a majority of their education, that is, they are not on much of a scholarship. Paying for an additional year is not trivial for most.

I'm okay with Edinboro not playing any football this spring. I agree with others that this spring season was somewhat masturbatory and any results would likely have an asterisk. Plus, every PASSHE school is slated for a deficit this year. No need to spend money for the sake of things feeling normal. Its the same reason I don't pay much attention to Spring Training baseball.

If you look over the posts on the topic (at least for the PSAC) I think that is the prevailing attitude.

Fans of teams having games say its a good look at how the newbies perform.
At Gannon they have testing at their own labs right on campus and have results the next day.
GU was never closed and had students on campus all yr.
Student enrollment on campus even with the Covid-19 virus is only down 193 students.

For swimming, I would worry about free transfer of the virus in the water. But what do I know? That's an interesting commentary on football player transmission. I wonder if they've ever tracked how it spread on teams.

CDC is not aware of any scientific reports of the virus that causes COVID-19 spreading to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, water playgrounds, or other treated aquatic venues.

I think it helped make the game happen. Wheeling is *somewhat* equidistant for the two schools. Wheeling is about 3 hours for Mercyhurst and 3 hours, 45 minutes for Shepherd. It's a long day but neither team has to overnight.

Swimming? No contact, not even in relay races. What about lacrosse? And the batter is close to the catcher in both baseball and softball.

I think it was too soon for sports that have regular contact: football, basketball, wrestling, etc. Wrestling and swimming really surprised me.

And one of the first key lessons that helped the NFL drive forward? Officials learned playing football itself did not spread COVID-19.
"There is no evidence that the virus crossed the line of scrimmage, so to speak," said Allen Sills, M.D., the NFL's chief medical officer, during a call with reporters Monday.
Despite the close physical contact during a football game, genomic epidemiology data analyzed by the NFL indicate there was no on-field transmission of the virus during the league's games, Christina Mack, M.D., an IQVIA epidemiologist and adviser to the NFL, said during the press call.

In the PIAA postseason wrestlers "on deck" had to warm up outside the gym in the hallway, etc. HS made it through but college had a lot of problems. Penn State got shut down 2x due to the Big 10 rules.
