Pac 12 officials.
Right...and I'm sure the NFL scouts...and the Outland trophy committee are blind as well.

Ok cupcake, I was replying to he had no holding calls. I don’t care if Oregon has a guy who won’t make a pro bowl or not.
They are not forcing them. There are kids that have opted out of the season.Forcing them to stay on campus and several other issues though is the question. Colleges are fighting tooth and nail that the students athletes aren’t professionals or “employees”.
And, I quote "Myocarditis, while rare, has shown up more in patients with coronavirus than other viral infections such as the common cold or the flu, according to limited studies done during the pandemic."
So, when it comes to the clinical efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in patients with covid, only double blind studies count. But, when shutting down college football, limited studies are sufficient. And people wonder why we are so skeptical of this nonsense.
Most people with myocarditis recover completely, either with or without treatment, and have no lasting symptoms or complications. For example, if it is caused by a viral infection, the myocarditis may get better as the person's immune system fights the infection and they recover from the virus. Myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. This means that so long as there is a plan in place to test athletes (and students?) who get covid, the risk is very, very low. The SEC and other conferences have known about this for a long time (decades), and have tested for it for years. If the NBA, who are in the same or worse demographic, and have more of a history of myocarditis deaths, has decided it's okay, CFB can say it's okay.
Here is a great article on it that shows both sides of the issue: David Chao, MD: Investigating Both Sides of Myocarditis Divide. If you read this, you will understand why each side is taking the approach they are.
