Thanks so much and I don't know the numbered stages of grief but I am nowhere near acceptance. I watched the UW game this weekend and even though I knew the outcome, it made me so deeply happy to see us play and win and celebrate. Of course there will be no football this fall, that's a given, but what a loss. A deep loss. I never denied my devotion to Cal Football, but this is showing me how much I relied on that little diversion to smooth over whatever stresses and anxieties I feel from work and life. The color and pageantry and all. I'm so sad for the players, and am very interested if the NCAA will grant every player an extra year of eligibility. What a bummer year for us to not play...
So, if a NCAA athlete is feeling symptoms, even though they might miss out on being scouted or adding to their personal stats, this athlete will, of course, self-quarantine and sit out any number of games.

Thanks, Nick.
