Mike Gundy, college football’s self-appointed resident social scientist, thinks it’s time to get back to football. May 1, preferably, but he’ll accept two weeks later.

Safely ensconced in his Stillwater bubble of privilege where his constant tantrums barely register as a whisper outside the town square and his threats to leave every few years have gotten him past the $5 million a year threshold, the longtime Oklahoma State coach had some thoughts Tuesday on the ol' coronavirus problem that has shut down the entire world.

According to Gundy on a conference call with reporters, we can only wait so long for the death and sickness to subside because, well, we have a college football season to get ready for and “there’s too many people relying on it” to wait a couple months for the picture to become clear.

Hey, according to "Dr. Gundy," what’s the harm in 18-, 19-, 20-, 21-year-olds possibly getting exposed to coronavirus? If they're healthy, it’s all good, right? At any rate, we’ve got to get moving, Gundy suggested, because paying salaries and “continuing the economy in this state” relies on the bodies of unpaid amateurs and people will “feel better” watching football on TV.
