Back in 2019 the University of Dayton was in the midst of a historic season looking in the headlights of a number one seed. This was one of the most balanced teams I had ever watched and were a clear contender to bring home a championship. Everyone on this team could drain 3's which made it hard to double Obi Toppin. This team had just 2 losses both in overtime and one those was against top seeded Kansas. Then we had during championship week we starting seeing cancellations and one was at halftime. Next thing you know covid just shut down the tournament and ripped the hearts out of the Flyer faithful.
Nearly 2 years latter where at one point it seemed as covid was in the rear view mirror we get the delta wave and then the omicron wave. First we see the NHL postpone games. Next the NFL starts moving games and changes its testing for protocol. Now we see the first team of the Bowl Season hang up their helmets as TAM has shut it down.
What is next? Ohio State Basketball season is currently hold as several college hoop programs are now on pause. The state of Ohio is on the verge of setting records for the number of daily cases. I think it is only a matter of time before additional teams start putting their season on the shelf. Question is how far will they go up the chain. At this point I don't see it getting to the CFP but if it does, University of Cincinnati and their fan base will never get over it. This tournament is far too exclusive and this could very well be the only shot UC has at a championship during the lives of the current allumni.

Texas A&M just announced they cannot play in the Gator Bowl because TOO MANY players have Covid. There's going to be a LOT more of this. UK and UL just 'postponed' their annual Basketball game. That is the BIGGEST game of the year around here.
Folks, it's time for this madness to end. College aged kids are NOT AT RISK from Covid... at all. Covid is lower risk to them than driving around in their freaking cars, or in Ubers.
There is NO REASON schools (at every level) should not be open. There is NO REASON for children to be wearing masks. There is NO REASON these football and basketball games should not be played.
JUST SAY NO to lockdowns.
People who ARE at risk from Covid should know who they are by now. They SHOULD have lowered their risk with vaccinations and boosters. If they're still worried, they should STAY AWAY from the games. Watch them on TV.
If we keep up this charade of "trying to protect people NOT at risk", everything is going to get cancelled again. Omicron spreads like fire through a dry Christmas tree. There is no stopping it. Thankfully, there is no real need to stop it.
