Do you think the cancelled bowls games so far are just some media political crap or is their some legitimacy behind it? None of the players from what I have read are sicker than a mild cold?

I think there is some legitimacy behind canceling the bowl games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It isn't about safety for the players, but rather the safety of all the people who would be attending the games and exposure to further spread of the virus. Mild cold symptoms do not rule out exposure to the virus and so healthy student athletes could still be potentially contagious and thus putting others at risk. Cancelling these bowl games will prevent the potential spread of the virus further and allow everyone more time to observe more safety measures to control and stop the virus.
