So “limit exposure” but continue to have games with 20-50k fans the rest of the season because of geographical closeness except for super important ohio state?
How full of crap are you? You cant honestly believe what you typed here.
How many words do you need to string together to defy logic, common sense, and science?
Bigger the “mansplaination” bigger the amount of BS to cover up.
It is an oregon home game- how many dangerous exposures would ndsu bring into the stadium? Assuming most of the 40k other fans will be pretty likely there the following week as well.

A little update from someone who looked at the contract from the Oregon side. Under the Oregon Health Authority recommending no large events through September (recommendation, not an order) Oregon could cancel the game, and the force majeure clause means NDSU wouldn't get their $650k paycheck. The Hawaii contract is $1 million.
Right now the likeliest scenario is that if they have the game it would be either no fans or Autzen at 20-25% capacity. This is going to be a close one. Oregon makes about $4-5 million per home game in ticket sales and concessions. Not sure what the break even point is.
It's simple math. 7 home games has less potential exposure than 8 home games. It only takes 1 contact for 2 minutes, but the more things and people you come in contact with the more likely you are to contract it. But all other things being equal you reduce the possible spread via football games by 12.5% by eliminating 1 home game. You reduce it by 50% if you eliminate half the games and you limit by 100% if you cancel the season. I'm not saying they should, but that is simple math.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

If you haven't figured out this virus is very different than anything else ever seen then you aren't going to understand anything being done to address it. I want to open things up and get back to normal as soon as possible, but I also realize the fact there's a chance this could flare up even worse next year.
If I was in charge I would have all games played as scheduled with as many people as possible in the stands. If they want to wear masks and walk around with hand sanitizer I'm fine with that. If they are in a risk group or commonly around someone in the risk group I would understand if they stayed home. But if I did that I would have something planned and ready to implement if the slightest hint of a spike appears. Doing this would be extremely risky though because this virus is unlike anything we've seen and I could make a horrible mistake.

Is it serious or not? Do you agree that games should be played, and stands full, or not?
If it would save just one life i think we should cancel EVERYTHING.
How is that for a virtue signal?
The original point was one NDSU game sacrificed for a MUCH more important OSU game, a week later, in the same stadium, somehow not making oregon chickenshit btw.
