It’s all about money it’s not player heath

Why make them play 24 games in 8 months. Why if it’s about long lasting heath then why play with CTE concerns. I know this is rambling I’m just pissed off that all these kids college experience and Careers are being crushed. The world is a sad place right now.

There won’t be college football in the Spring. If you make teams play two seasons in a calendar year, then you don’t give a shite about player safety.

Postponement is a stunt they are using hoping to keep their teams from playing with another confrence in fall by promising them a season but just delayed.
In spring nothing will change and they will cancel citing player safety because there won't be enough rest between seasons

They are not playing 24 games, that’s just to keep the news cycle spinning. It’s working to. ????

The heart thing seems relevant.
If I'm an admin and I see a "rare" condition already present in 5 athletes, I have to at least consider what my career looks like if we proceed and someone dies.

A rare heart condition that could be linked with the coronavirus is fueling concern among Power 5 conference administrators about the viability of college sports this fall.
Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been found in at least five Big Ten Conference athletes and among several other athletes in other conferences, according to two sources with knowledge of athletes' medical care.
The condition is usually caused by a viral infection, including those that cause the common cold, H1N1 influenza or mononucleosis. Left undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause heart damage and sudden cardiac arrest, which can be fatal. It is a rare condition, but the COVID-19 virus has been linked with myocarditis with a higher frequency than other viruses, based on limited studies and anecdotal evidence since the start of the pandemic.

If it was about money, they'd be playing. Schools make MILLIONS from TV revenue. No football = no TV.
This is just a bunch of candy-arse over-reacting to something that is of little concern to make athletes in the prime of life.

Lol you think the B10 and PAC12 really plan on playing in the spring?

W/o a some vaccinations... this shite is here for the LONG HAUL! People need to solve the problem... not figure out a way to live with it.

It can be about two things ya know. Player health is tied to liability thus money anyway.

How the hell did you spell health wrong twice

A lot of everyday peoples lives have been crushed. No graduations, weddings, proper funerals, etc. Its just a horrible situation all around.

The commies want it that way. Anyway, I agree it's all about money right now. In this litigation culture today God forbid a football player should die of Covid-19.
I say let the boys play. But I can understand the SEC's concerns. You know some blood sucking lawyer is lurking in the shadows just waiting to sue the SEC and the University if one of those boys die of Covid-19.

I used to like a heath bar now and then.

If it was all about the money, they would all be playing now and filling the stadiums with anyone willing to attend the game ... your logic is horribly flawed.
However, the point of making kids play 2 seasons, even if abbreviated in the Spring is valid.

The SEC and ACC telling the Big 10 to shove it basically ruins any chance of playing in the spring. You can’t do that unless all conferences are in agreement to play in the spring which was never going to happen

IF they play in the spring, fall season might very well start late. Looking at the bright side, might be nice to get early-season home games in cooler weather...

What about the players that want to play.
Do they matter?
