To begin this is definitely not the way I expected to cover my blog for this semester. I wanted to be different and bring attention to the sports some students may have not even known about on campus. Everyone expected to finish out this semester and return stronger than ever from what was supposed to be a break. I have decided to make this a general blog and just follow different students and ask about their experiences on how this has affected many Students.

I would still like to get in touch with some athletes and receive their take on how this has made them feel. Many are hurting that they couldn’t finish out their senior year in many sports and different intramural sports that were just beginning for the spring semester. Although this is something we did not have much control over I do not think that the situation was handled the best by cutting everything dry in the midst of a few days . It is easier for a student who was just beginning this college career to just think about what they have to look forward to in the fall and next spring. Asking student athletes to just stop playing is ridiculous but it’s what it has come to right now.

With these next few weeks focusing on people who have been displaced from the dorms and those who are suffering the consequences from COVID-19 also have a voice that matters. I am going to conduct some audio interviews and have pictures for those who are suffering. There should also be a closer look at how many students don’t have employment now because of the outlet shut-down. Instead of apartments looking for people to sign they should provide some type of relief the students who are now unemployed and have no other financial help in this time. Bobcat sports world is taking a shift into not only reminiscing on the sporting events we will be covering the Bobcat World and the toll it is taking on everyone now.
