PP asked that on July 18. I make so many pronouncements I had to go back and see what I said on July 18. I assume it was this: 'No spring sports without a vaccine by December'. Well, there will be at least two approved vaccines by December. I think that by the end of February, all the priority cohorts, e.g., health care workers, seniors, essential workers (which includes teachers). pre-existing conditions, etc. will have been vaccinated. From the rough HHS timetable, everyone else by May. There may be vaccination delays in these early cohorts for those living in the boonies.

Patriot League the only remaining conference that hasn't announced their schedule/plan for the Spring. Utter embarrassment. No one can tell me any different.

I messaged on twitter a prominent player on the team last week and he said he hasn't heard anything (official or unofficial) with regards to a Spring season as of yet.
His spirits were surprisingly still somewhat up....but you could sense the frustration in between the lines in his message back to me.

Ayri Asante has been quite vocal on Twitter surrounding his frustration.

The fact that the men’s and women’s hockey and basketball teams are playing makes this delay even more absurd. Apparently the PL can’t make these kinds of decisions independently of the Ivy League, which is pretty pathetic.

They never planned to actually play in the Spring....Logistically, it makes zero sense. In all honesty, I doubt they even play in the Fall 2021. If I was a current player, would be entering the transfer portal ASAP. Why even risk losing another year?

At this point, rational thinking no longer exists at Ivy League schools, so who knows? Except at Cornell. They brought ALL the kids back to campus this year. No issues (Covid or otherwise). The Cornell president thought the science and the data were obvious. Too bad we couldn’t corral Cornell for PL hoops (kinda stinks their players are all on campus but because their league isn’t playing they’re just attending class and shooting around.) Maybe they’ll play football with us and replace Georgetown if we (PL) have a spring season.

www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-schedule-2020-the-116-games-already-postponed-or-canceled-due-to-covid-19/Entering week 14 of the 2020 season, 116 games already have been postponed or cancelled. Why would the league publish a schedule at this point, when the environment is still volatile regarding team health stability? Once the second semester begins in 7 or 8 weeks, and data has been compiled regarding if viral infections have been abated, or if a another wave is underway, then the league can determine and provide a tentative schedule for fall sports that have been delayed. Until then, it would be a moot exercise to merely to placate a group that seems to lack patience. Reminds me of children and grandkids regarding waiting for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I would not expect to see an announcement before the end of January or early February once a decision (that may be changed) has been made by each league member. Of the six schools, the question to be addressed will be, how many will be able to field a team to be able to compete each week. Two, three, four, five, six ?

These are “Extraordinary Times and Events” that are not totally controlled by man or League Commissioners. I really do not know if they will play in the spring, and I believe that well over 90 percent of this board do not know either. The virus could subside by February 28, 2021 and it will be a possibility, that teams could start in April. If the virus is in resurgence, and has mutated to a new and virulent manifestation, would any insurance risk manager for the league believe it is a good idea to place senior support staff, and officials on the field? Santa Clara County has banned in person contact sports, in the county, which include practice and play by the 49ers, Stanford and San Jose State. www.yahoo.com/now/santa-clara-county-home-of-49-ers-and-stanford-bans-all-contact-sports-for-3-weeks-due-to-covid-19-214056098.htmlAs of this evening, 97 communities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are in the highest risk level. The Infection Rate is 1.06 The Daily New Cases Per 100K in Worcester County is 37.8. Over the last week, MA has averaged 2805, New cases per day. Rate of 40.7. covidactnow.org/us/massachusetts-ma?s=1392371As of this evening, if I could accurately predict if the PL Football would play in the spring, I would be talking to a broker regarding trades we should be executing when the market opens.

Apparently the PL can’t make these kinds of decisions independently of the Ivy League, which is pretty pathetic. That’s a good point. Rationally one would think that if we can manage to play team indoor sports in the winter, we can manage to play team outdoor sports in the spring. At the same time I could see the PL nattering about The Ivies and Georgetown ...and why bother or risk injuries with a mini-season since the fall 2021 season is in sight? Add that semi-rational argument to the wholly irrational covid/college kids argument and we might see no football come spring.

CT seems to think any resident who wants to be will be vaccinated by June. If that’s true, we should definitely have a regular school year in 2021-22, including Fall 2021 football.

I pity the fool who has to tell Coach Chesney the team can't play in the fall of 2021. If the PL for some reason doesn't have a Fall season, I would hope the school would support the Coach and the program and back a non-league schedule if the majority of other leagues and colleges are playing in the fall. If HC was in the minority of teams not playing we would probably lose the coach at the end of his contract which can't be too far away and the program would surely suffer a significant setback.

It's almost unbelievable that we are not playing now. We absolutely ought to play in the Spring. To even think that we won't be playing next Fall is truly insane

Maybe I'm being naive, but I actually do think they will play in the Spring. If the PL doesn't end up playing I think it will hold true for many other conferences - at least that's what I'm hearing.

I am pretty sure Holy Cross and the PL will be playing football in the spring, likely without fans in the stands. You've heard the term "out of an abundance of caution?" In the dictionary, there's a picture of Holy Cross next to that term. They'll announce things at the last minute when we see the Thanksgiving covid uptick ("surge on top of a surge" per Tony F.) starting to back down and Pfizer and Moderna cavalry start coming to the rescue. 2021 will not be anything like 2020.
