Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

This is a pretty cheesy cop-out.  They want to compete at the highest level and play the game in the same way they are accustomed to.  And they know the risks, just as they know the risk of injury and CTE.

I don't know how much they love playing the game at the highest level just for the love of the game.  Maybe they do.

But I'm pretty sure that, in addition to other factors, they want to build their brands for the NFL draft.

And some of them actually don't know the risks.  They think it's nothing worse than the flu.

You're attacking my quote of the coaches, so....enjoy.

Which coaches? The ones who are very angry because they think it is ridiculous that they cannot at least give the season a shot? The ones who said their players have worked year-round for this? The ones who sided specific players who were coming back for a fifth year after we having for a full year to get back? The ones who have players who were Heisman Trophy candidates and have a shot at the top draft pick?

Yes, those.

I feel for you. How long do they expect the recovery to take?

I've read learning to perform tasks with the less dominant hand sharpens the mind.Not that you need any help there of course

Well, every college around here has cancelled fall athletics. But HS FB gets going tonight. I suppose they still have 8 hours or so to pull the plug, but no indication that they will.

I saw someone in Utah started last night. I hope that all goes off without a hitch. 

Well we've got coaches voicing their desire to play games.  Old men.  So that's brilliant.
And they cite how hard these kids (wait, now they're not kids, because they want to play football in a pandemic) have worked these past 3 months.....3 WHOLE MONTHS....for an unknown % of them to mangle their heart and/or lungs, possibly for the rest of their lives.



Thankfully, the B10 and Pac12 have actual adults running things. 

Since you are a White liberal stereotype first and a college football fan second, I think that I can put this to you in a way that you might understand.

Imagine the outrage that you would feel if you woke up to the news that "President Trump" declared that "peaceful protests" were prohibited from taking place on "college campuses" due to the "coronavirus." 

Now replace "President Trump" with "University Presidents" and then replace "peaceful protests" with "football games," and that should give you a small window into the reason that many folks find this to be objectionable.
