you serious Clark?
to me the risk of spread comes from living in the dorms. if they are going to allow that why not have in person classes?
ESPN alert - Big 10 going to conference only

Are you serious? Having 20-30 kids in the same classroom, then moving to another classroom with a different set of 20-30 kids, is a lot more of a spread risk than having the same two kids sharing a dorm room.

If I recall, he considers pretty much anyone outside of the Trump circle to be part of the broader "establishment" problem. See his response to Abbott, very much not a Democrat, and his recent order.

Yeah- I'm sure those kids will stay in their dorm with just their roommate, and won't go in other peoples' dorm rooms, and won't gather in big groups, or go to parties together.

Same risk of that if classes are in person or online with students on campus, though.
With in person classes, you have additional spread when they go to class.
It's very simple LVH ... as someone who prides himself(and I mean himself) on market/ $s/ common sense, you should have figured it out.
Since the P5s will be having minimal to no fans, most will acknowledge, you're going to have a much bigger TV audience with Rutgers vs Sota/Wisky/other B10s than Temple. It's an obvious Financial decision than a safety issue.

Article says wouldnt happen for a few years but dont see why it couldn't be expedited to this year especially if everyone goes conference only.

Oh so the students will avoid the least risky part of being on campus while engaging in the most risky part more often (being in the dorms)
Edit: I'm slow on the get-up, everyone seems to see the ironie

I'm not arguing for it, but I'd rather have her on campus then in my basement.
And given that she might get a fever for a couple days, I hope they go fully on campus.

Yeah I hear you, and sounds great for her, but the ironie of having online classes while kids sit in dorms is awesome. It's like we've all gone insane

We're a long way past insane.
She's one of many kids who lost out on the senior year. Missed her last softball season (was to have been captain), missed a band trip to Europe, missed prom and graduation.
I sure as hell don't want her to miss out any more than she has to on the college experience.

Just curious - has she considered a gap year? Can still have the four year ex
you're serious ?*!?$#?!%? ... pause, she could wait til 2021 for on campus living.

Yes but not real seriously, at least to this point. We need to understand whether what she saw is indicative of a shift to all online learning.
One of the issues with a gap year is, does it mean that you'd need to reapply to schools, and be considered for admission along with all of next year's seniors AND any other kids who take a gap year? She was a direct admit to their business school and pursuing a major (actuarial science) where they are strong.
And, she doesn't know what she'd do with that year either...
Guessing only that Jake meant a gap year as an on campus student vs an online student... then she would be a sophomore on campus student 2021. but if that's wasn't his position ... that seems to be the way.
