I can see 2020 football in ohio be stopped and start 2021 when virus is gone.These are staggering times, and painful,and we gotta take care of one another, friends ,family.Thats where our focus should be..Now my take, teams suffer from common flu outbreaks during course of a season for instance fremont ross had kids sick last year from flu or cold.During pregame or postgame hand shakes between teams is commonly how teams spread flu.Also preparation for season comes in spring workouts,needless to say is no there.We gotta see what happens Going forward .Economy ,virus .Stay healthy everybody .

Saw a article by Kirk herbstreit saying he dont think pro or college will play because he understands a virus vaccine is a year or 18 months away and if you did play the optics wouldn't look good locker rooms etc stadiums .

Pro and college teams travel across states. Most local HS teams will not. Ohio has been at the forefront of combatting this so there may not be some offseason activities but I'm sure Ohio will have fall sports

When we have school we will have sports. That could be delayed, but maybe not. We could start, but then get shut down again.
We live in interesting times.

The 2020 season as we have known it in the past is absolutely in jeopardy. June and July conditioning/7-7/team camps are absolutely on the ropes and it pains be beyond belief to say that. As I've said before, they are going to be overly cautious with anything associated with schools. Sanitation will be a huge issue. I just worry about schools being able to follow some strict sanitary rules/or afford. Teams that have small staffs are going to have their hands full.

Next season, more than any other season before, will be one and lost by coaching experience.

How is "coaching experience" going to lead to having a football season in 2020??
I'm far more concerned with students getting an education, graduating, having credentials to be admitted to Universities and having jobs available when entering the work force.

Getting worse by hour.We gotta virus overtaking every state ,cities, towns, granpa,grandma,mom and dad ,sons, daughters .New york and states are ground zero for this virus pandemic that came from china and unfortunately by the hour were learning today that china mislead Americans into a false sense of security.
Please please please pray for our president ,his tone towards China will change by day. Ages 2 to 98 virus dont discriminate. Trump is looking at 100 thousand to 200 thousand dead in this virus..
If and when sports come back there will be different rules I'm sure .But right now were in a fight with extremely brutal virus and a roaring economy destroyed by pandemic.Thanks Xi Xi Ping ( china leader,)

The health and safety of our kids are most important. We will most certainly do what needs to be done.
Having said that, if there is no 2020 football season, this will mean the end of 11 man football for some schools. Numbers are all ready a problem. Schools with struggling or rebuilding programs will really be hurt. There will be some schools that have played football over 100 years that could fall by the wayside. Schools like Crestline, Willard, Bucyrus, Buckeye Central, Ridgedale, Elgin, and many more could suffer greatly.
All of those schools have had good teams at one time or another. Hopefully they can continue if we lose 2020. And, if we do lose any school, it will be a sad day.

Football is an expensive sport and if you do not sell a lot of tickets it is a drain.

In comparison soccer is very inexpensive, just ask Willard's drugmart.

After hearing what Jerry Snodgrass said yesterday, I think you will see a delayed start to fall sports and a shortened season.

For football, I think we might see practice not start till late August, near the time school starts. The first three weeks of the season could be eliminated, allowing 7 weeks for most leagues to play a full schedule. If the virus kicks up again in late fall as some people predict, the playoffs could be in jeopardy, like the BB tournament was. Just some speculation on my part.

after what i saw what the cdc just said that this virus could be worse 2nd wave along with flu at the same time for winter.winter starts december 21 but meteoroligcal winter starts december 1,so if football ever gets started,then the playoffs will be at stake along with boys and girl basketball,bowling and wrestling. so i trust the cdc over trump but its going to see wait and see the rest of 2020.

CDC did not say the virus could be worse nest winter. What could be "worse" is that the virus and the flu season will be here at the same time next winter. This year the virus didn't show up until the winter flu season was on the wane. Next year both at the same time could be "worse".

We need to start heading in a totally different direction then we are right now if we want football in the fall. The first major hurdle is getting kids back in schools, and not just part time. DeWine still is talking like that's about 50/50 right now. My hope is that as we get into June we will start seeing things turn around. Make no mistake though, If there is 1% risk to anyone there wont be any high school sports in the fall.

Until there's a vaccine and probably even AFTER there's a vaccine, there will ALWAYS be a "1% risk". Every year there's a 1% risk of getting the whatever flu of the year, if you don't get a shot.

I 100% agree. I'm just saying that is how the people in charge of Ohio are dealing with things right now.

A new study just done in New York, the worst hit state in the country, projects that their death rate is more like .5%. So you know Ohio's death rate will be much lower. Especially once more people other than just those in hospitals, prisons and in rest homes are tested.

Social distancing has reduced our percentages for infections and death. Simply by having fewer infections the most vulnerable were able to avoid infection and death. I’m thankful that people are able to complain the actions in Ohio were over the top - it beats the alternative. We will never know the real truth because modifications have changed the game.

IDK that this forum understands what "1%" means.
Even if the average person can get it and survive, it's the disease's transmissibility that is the larger concern. One person can be a vector for 3, and away we go again.
Ohio's done well, but other states are going to ruin it. Stay home ya'll, as long as you can.

This is a fluid situation because there is no playbook. I can’t fault Dewine’s initial response. Better to overreact than under. Whether what we did worked or the models were wrong numbers are well below predicted. We were told to expect 300 in our three hospitals at peak. Later that was revised to 50. We’ve had one. Continuing this level of restrictions is not without risk. Angioplasties are down. Does that mean Coronavirus has cured heart disease? Nope. It means people are sitting at home with chest pain because they’re scared to leave the house. We got out of the ocean 6 weeks ago because someone yelled shark. It appears this wasn’t Jaws for our area. We need to judiciously dip our toes in the water. One smart thing the governor of Georgia said is should he restrict rural Georgia because of what’s going on in Atlanta. Probably not. Can a shut down factory resume production if they
1. screen workers at the door for symptoms and fever 2. mask people if they are within 6 feet of coworkers 3. wipe down solid surfaces every shift
I believe yes and I believe we have to wade back into the water slowly.

The "transmissibility"[sic] is only an issue if the person being "transmissed" is over 60 and their immune system is compromised. Other states can only "ruin it" if Ohioans visit that state. INDEED, stay home if at risk...until there's a vaccine.

Good news for sports in Ohio. Ohio State's President Drake says they're looking at opening the doors at Ohio State for summer school.

Good news there but on the other end Ohio Dept of Ed cancelled ALL in person graduation ceremonies for Ohio high schools. That apparently includes July and August make-up dates too according to some schools who made contingency plans.
