Q) Who should have more say with personal choice / responsibility? The Conferences or Players?
A) Is it one or the other? I think the Pac 12 & Big Ten made the right call initially... for those Universities, those Conferences, and those Players. We've arrived at today with the Big Ten, because enough of those Universities (and perhaps more importantly the Players) disagreed.
The only reason I waiver at all... is because choosing the risk to play, isn't just about individual risk... you also have the asymptomatic angle.
Q) Mandated safety precautions you support?
A) In-general... the advice of 3rd party medical experts.
Regarding why you're somewhat wavering, yeah, that's a good point as this will lead to more cases.
As for your second answer, well what do you think third party medical experts think about this?
