Why does Joey Galloway keep saying everyone will end up...

Why does Joey Galloway keep saying everyone will end up... Cancelling their season? Does here care about his livelihood or knows he can go talk on NFL broadcast now?

I am all for the ACC committing to a fall season (it won't be any better in the spring), but reality is, as soon as there is an outbreak on campuses, the kids will be sent home and that will be that.
We can pray for a miracle, but the virus is just doing virus things.
At the end of the day, the odds are VERY strong that there will be no fall and no spring 2020/21 football season.
I hope for a good vaccine and treatment so we can get back to normal in fall 2021.

Back in 1981 (I think it was) there was an outbreak of the flu. Over 5000 students and faculty reported to Redfern Medical center for treatment. It was a strange 2 or 3 weeks, but Clemson didn't shut down or send everyone home. I felt bad for a week but never reported to Redfern.
And I know... "I'm part of the problem."

How many greedy lawyers there are in this wonderful country who are anxiously awaiting for a player to contract the disease and die! If you don’t believe this you are not living in the real world. Such an event could destroy college athletics as we know it.

As long as there is a jury involved

There’s always the potential for a case, even if a rock solid contract/waiver in place. Employees work in most states ‘at will’ but that doesn’t release their employer from all liability.

The safeties place for the players are on campus. They are being check and every precaution is being made for their safety. Cancel the season and send them home then they will most likely get the China virus or at least some of them.

Of these b10 and pac10 players who contract it because the league and school kicked them out of their bubble. It’s complete idiocy- you’re basically saying no biz at all should be open period. Most all programs will bankrupt if they don’t play. College sports is paycheck to paycheck and highly leveraged. People are fooled by seeing huge $ reneue and think that there is a big pot of $ just sitting there. It’s non-profit- what comes in goes right back out

Because he knows these colleges are run by gutless, risk averse, science hating whimps who will fold like a cheap suit at the first negative media story. Just like almost everything else, the virus isn't causing the problem its the idiotic response.

Hard to believe that 5 months ago we were trying to prevent 1.5 million American corona virus deaths.
Today, if herd immunity is attainable with this thing, we're at least 40% of the way there, with 11% of the projected deaths while over counting quite generously. Yes, we got here the hard way, but we're here.
We're no longer using any objective evaluation to cancel life as we know it. We're just running scared in case the boogey man comes. By the time you see him, it's too late. So we run. And we keep running.

Yeah sometimes people say what they think is going to happen as opposed to what they want to happen. People who spend all of their time watching tabloid political TV may be unfamiliar with this concept.

I am beginning to believe that it wont happen to the ACC and SEC. We very well may be the only two conferences playing this fall, the impact on the local economies in the south, and the amount of Television revenue the sport brings in would make it almost impossible to not at least attempt a season. If 1 single player dies from COVID,I can assure you all bets are off.

Will advertisers risk millions on an uncertain season?

In an uncertain economic environment?
Truly IDK but historical revenue models may not hold true in 2020. B1G and PAC sitting it out don’t help national marketing initiatives.
