If you think college athletes aren’t going to be out drinking, doing drugs, fucking and fighting like any other college kid all fall you are a special kind of stupid. No coach is going to keep them from doing it. Never have been able to stop them, never will. All the coaches do is keep it out of the news as much as possible.
I flat out think you're wrong. A program like Clemson could have their players wear ankle monitors that keep them confined, and most players would gladly do it in exchange for playing football.
No MLB player would agree to that, but a college football player? Hell, I'd have agreed to that back in high school to continue playing baseball if that was the only option. Lots of college football players will be fine with that, and that solves the issue.
In the next 12 months i'd take my chances with cancer rather than C-19. Ditto for the average guy around Saban's age. C-19 is the more immediate & dangerous threat. After a vaccine, effective meds and/or herd immunity arrives that may change the game.
I expect he's heard of sunscreen ;
There are other simple easy ways to reduce risk of cancer from sun without becoming a hermit. Try google. It's not rocket science.
Why doesn't he just eat healthy. Duh.
Ohio State's Justin Fields gives three-letter response to Big Ten postponing football season
The Big Ten’s decision to postpone fall sports with the possibility of moving the schedule to the spring put one of the country’s best quarterbacks on the sidelines.
Ohio State’s Justin Fields will no longer be able to play because of the Big Ten’s decision to put the season on hold due to the coronavirus. The quarterback had a three-letter reaction to the news.
“Smh..” he tweeted Tuesday
While it’s possible Fields could transfer to a school that does decide to play during the fall, the more likely option is that he declares for the NFL Draft and forgoes his NCAA eligibility. Fields is likely to be a top-10 pick in the NFL, according to top experts.
The Big Ten has expressed a possibility of playing in the spring but nothing was set in stone when the conference made its announcement Tuesday.
“The mental and physical health and welfare of our student-athletes has been at the center of every decision we have made regarding the ability to proceed forward,” said Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren. “As time progressed and after hours of discussion with our Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee, it became abundantly clear that there was too much uncertainty regarding potential medical risks to allow our student-athletes to compete this fall.”
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith released a separate statement on the matter.
“This is an incredibly sad day for our student-athletes, who have worked so hard and been so vigilant fighting against this pandemic to get this close to their season,” Smith said. “My heart aches for them and their families.
“[Ohio State President-elect Kristina M. Johnson] and I were totally aligned in our efforts to delay the start of the season rather than postpone. I am so grateful to her for all her efforts in support of our student-athletes and a traditional fall season.
“As an institution and as an athletic department, we have a responsibility first and foremost to care for the health, safety and wellness of our students and staff, and I believe we have done that successfully.”

"People who are older than 60, or have a weakened immune system or chronic illnesses like lung disease, heart disease or diabetes, have the highest risk of becoming severely ill if they contract the coronavirus or the flu. Each underlying illness adds to the risk.
Many people in the United States have an increased risk of becoming seriously ill if they are infected: about 60 percent of adults have at least one underlying health condition, and 40 percent have two or more underlying conditions. Approximately 25 million have diabetes, which can lower immunity.

If they had any balls they would throw their weight around in the Big 10. They could threaten to leave and play SEC or B12 and I guarantee B10 would change their stance. Without OSU the B10 becomes the PAC of a couple years ago.
Also Ryan Day is in total damage control. Says he is looking forward to Spring season.....lol. No way that is happening. Just trying to keep a recruiting class together and current roster from bolting.
