I'd be interested to see actual statistics on this too.
It could be true.
However, it could just as easily be perception -- even from coaches -- since NIL/transfer portal depth deletion has intensified the impact of injuries.

This generation is extremely soft so it’s not some earth shattering news.
They need to bring back the B12 shot and smelling salts.

Idk if people are actually getting hurt more… but teams definitely feel the injuries more now bc no one has depth.

We went from a world where players had like 0% power to having 100% of it.
One unhealthy extreme to the other.
The long term viability of college football will require a system where the players are required to buy in and actually care again. Not just cash checks and transfer around for 2-3 years until the NFL comes calling.

Then stop wasting our time by having to read your useless posts. Either explain why or stfu acting like you know more than Kirby Smart

Elite teams used to have 5 stars backing up 5 stars and players waited their turn, now 18 year olds are getting handed a million dollars before they even know where the locker room is. The travel ball generation has made them all care more about a sore toe than actually playing their arse off for their team. There are players that have literally played for a different team every single year they've been playing football, think they give a damn what colors they're wearing or what the tradition is? Kirby is the best coach in football right now, and you could see him just wanting to say "uh yeah these kids are pussies"

No more than the fans care who’s making tackles and scoring touchdowns as long as State U. is winning.
In a world where SEC teams would rather sign a 5 star illiterate out of the slums of Los Angeles over a 4 star local who wants to be a pediatrician, I don’t care about the tears over a lack of loyalty.
This is what you get with a win-at-all-costs mentality.

And the checks keep clearing. Not a coincidence these new (student athletes)and their agent's realize tread life isn’t infinite. Fukin juke.

Huh? Yeah I know they were injured in the playoffs last season. I'm talking about guys sitting out for even the most minor inconvenience. Kirby is getting upset about that. Not the same toughness shown from players compared to past years.

i didn't listen to full thing with Kirby, is he saying people are not actually injured and are sitting out bc they get paid anyway and make too much money?
Is he linking the 3 things in the tweet?

That’s on him for running his practices that way. Iowa still practices physically like always. Big Ten Network staff and talking heads always talk about it when they’re there and how the players are just used to the physicality and grind.

I’ve argued for quite some time that players continuing to get bigger, stronger, and faster is a huge factor in this. The human body just isn’t built for what these guys do day in and day out. Couple that with the posted quote, and a bunch of players are “unavailable.”
Hell, an entire high school football coaching staff was just fired for making players do pushups as a punishment.
