No, you can't.
Maniac used the word "shameful" to describe this act, and he's 5x5 correct. The very idea that gibbering fear over a disease that, outside particular groups, amounts to little more than a bad cold would cause the entire Nation to grind to a halt, and stay that way for months is crazy. All the while, the goalposts as to reasons why continue to shift around, and not much makes sense anymore. Now they've gone and driven a stake through the heart of College Football, killed it out of sheer cowardice and pant-wetting paralysis. The follow-on effects of their decision may well kill the very institutions that employ them, though not that they give a flip about that. After all, they care. And they want to make sure that they are thought of as people who do. Actually doing their damned jobs comes in a distant third if at all...
I'm especially bitter knowing that (looking at the clock) we have about 78 minutes until the BIGXII solons kill our season, too. Not a damned thing we can do about it. Their betrayal is certain, and all we have to do until then is hope that the cigarette they give us before the firing squad opens up isn't a damned menthol.
The drinking lamp is lit. First round is on me.
