I haven't looked around yet...any details on how the scholarship numbers will work out? If the cap remains at 13.5 for softball, there's some high school kids who are going to miss out.

Thought I read somewhere that they were lifting scholarship requirements to accommodate incoming Freshmen.

They raised the numbers but I can't find hard info on what the new ones are. Only baseball received a roster limit raise.

Members also adjusted financial aid rules to allow teams to carry more members on scholarship to account for incoming recruits and student-athletes who had been in their last year of eligibility who decide to stay.
...
The Council also increased the roster limit in baseball for student-athletes impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the only spring sport with such a limit.

 
The actions of a few stupid people tend to affect everyone, right?

Two Saturday's ago while on a trip to Lowe's I saw dozen's, and dozen's, of boats headed to the waters. I remarked to a friend how busy it had to be at the docks and by Monday reports from DNR had the waterways around Charleston busier than what we see on the 4th of July.

Now, the Governor has closed on the boat landings. That may not seem like a big deal but when it's just two of us that wanted to go fishing today?

Tends to tick me off ...

You don't need a boat launch if you innovate

A friend of mine works for Harris Teeter... They're giving their employees $5 a day--had to be spent that day- for food and a $300 bonus.

Twice the work on some situations.

Got a kayak and a canoe...not the point.

I found this:

"The NCAA’s historic ruling for spring sports, “in a nod to the financial uncertainty faced by higher education,” has given individual universities “the flexibility to give students the opportunity to return for 2020-21 without requiring that athletics aid be provided at the same level awarded for 2019-20. This flexibility applies only to student-athletes who would have exhausted eligibility in 2019-20.

That means that athletics directors and maybe coaches, too, are going to have to decide for their own departments and teams if seniors returning for another season receive the same exact athletic scholarship, reduced aid or, potentially, no money at all."

In other words, athletes can come back for their senior season but there are no guarantees that they'll have financial aid.

According to my buddy, they've closed Lake Tuscaloosa, even if you have a boat docked at you lakehouse. City owned, they've pulled the plug on most everything.
 
As promised earlier by the POTUS, data was collected for 15 days and they're delivering a much stronger message now.

You'll see from the beginning of the POTUS speech, they've added an additional 30 days to the social distancing plan, through the end of April. This appears to be influenced by data from Italy suggesting they've peaked after a month. Mitigation is our only option at this point.

I'm putting video links below that start when each person in the task force speaks for those interested.

POTUS Trump opening comments:


Dr Deborah Birx updates with stats, estimates indicate that between 100k-200k will die in the US based on models and the model is adjusted daily. She mentions later that the data is heavily skewed towards NY and NJ based on what has happened in the US to-date, so there is a chance this number will be lower.


Dr Anthony Fauci:

The General Golf Course (Joe Wheeler State Park)
  • Open: The front doors will remain locked. Guests may enter the proshop through the back door, 4 guests at a time.
So far, I can still go and lose my ballz.... don't know for how long though.

A few years ago, one of the boys was working at a nice country club and they swapped out their range balls. Gave him their old ones, over 4,000 range balls were boxed in the garage. A driving pad on the dock gives my middle son a diversion while he's quarantined in the lake basement. He lets the boats play through.

RTR,
