Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Kind of funny in away . You have the "we want to play" movement. But then you have this other whole player movement demanding certain things of the schools around player safety, etc. Not saying they are at all wrong, but I wonder if these demands are part of what's driving schools to say cancel as they know they can't address these concerns. In a way the players may have accelerated the desire to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will all Seniors and Juniors who want to enter the draft just skip the entire season? Are we looking at a bunch of Frosh/Soph squads?

par73 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Playing in the Spring is a joke. As others pointed out, the top prospects will sit and wait to be drafted (e.g., Justin Fields of Ohio St.). Stinks that he only had the one year at OSU. With this decision, they should shut it down until next Fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It would be interesting to see the data that shows they are safer not playing football but attending class, parties, etc vs focused on football/classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is.....easy to say "we want to play" now but then follow up later with "but we only will play if you do X, Y, and Z" and "and we want to sue the pants off you if anyone gets COVID". The people making the decision here aren't morons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the decider for spring play, if we can get fans in we'll go with it. While it may be mostly freshman and sophomores playing that will hurt the play this year, by say 2022 it could mean a more experienced level of play 10 minutes ago, Just Joshin' said: It would be interesting to see the data that shows they are safer not playing football but attending class, parties, etc vs focused on football/classes. It doesn't matter then as the schools aren't libel for it then if they aren't playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 With them saying they are moving the season back to the Spring it just shows the greed behind it imo. If it was about player safety they wouldn't be trying to make their scholarship athletes have two football seasons within a single calendar year in 2021. Another thing about life ruined for the moment. Covid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
