Don’t you answer your own question? We didn’t take the measures for the swine flu like we are doing now and as you said, 40-80 million were infected. The death rate was .03% for the swine flu and as of right now the Covid death rate is much higher than that. Assuming the death rate is higher, wouldn’t it be best if we keep 40-80 million people from getting this virus? Are you not worried about overwhelming the medical system?
This idea of giving Sr. another year is silly...

This “tough shit, sucks to be you” is a perspective that I truly don’t understand.
How is that possible? I would think you hear it a lot.
Only from the extraordinarily stupid. Thanks for checking in.
And I could tell you were extraordinarily stupid. Thanks for checking in.
You’re ignoring what anyone with eyes can see: finishing strong in class, as you put it, in no way guarantees being a life champion. Kind of unbelievable you’re arguing that. These seniors are PLAYING BASKETBALL right now - or at least, they WERE up until a couple days ago. THAT is what we’re arguing about. Don’t try to deflect the thread; it’s really not cool.
Hang in there, Fredo. I’m sure there’s a job for you somewhere.
Don’t worry, you’re safe as long as Mama is alive. And you’re smart. Not dumb, like people say. You’re smart.
It’s unfortunate that they don’t seem as if they would take advantage of a truly unique opportunity and experience.
EDIT. The poor little post no one showed any regard.

I think quite a few would feel similarly but, hopefully, they’ll be given the opportunity to make that decision based on this unique solution.
Yes.
If the NCAA decides to not go the mandatory fifth year for seniors route, then at least all the players out there will get to make the same decision that Green and Davis have made: the very decision that so many on here want to deny to those who don’t play for IU.
The only one talking about the possible extra year of eligibility being "mandatory" is you. The NCAA can't force the players to stay. They can't force the schools to keep them. All these "mandatory" comments by you are silly nonsense.
There’s been plenty of talk about making it mandatory for the seniors to return. But even if there hadn’t been, it’s completely beside the point, because the NCAA CAN “force” the schools to keep the players. All collegiate authority is derived and flows downward from the NCAA. The NCAA is the ultimate governing body and so anything an individual school may do derives its power to do so EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE NCAA. Academic legitimacy is conferred by the regional accreditation organizations and likewise the NCAA.
And your reply didn’t even address the “moral heart” of what I had previously written, namely, why, exactly, do there seem to be so many IU fans who want to deny others what Green and Davis may forgo by not returning next year? And were they to return for a fifth year, isn’t it only right that other schools’ players be extended the same opportunity? THAT is why there is talk of making this mandatory: it ensures that guys don’t slip through the net.
EDIT. “Autocorrect” is one word for it.
