ignorant kids

perhaps one of their parents or an uncle or someone should step in to help them come up with reasonable demands that might help their cause

I'm all for these athletes having a voice and defending their rights and doing what they can to protect themselves.

They just need to be smart about it, or they'll get nothing or worse

Also, this is a pretty normal negotiation tactic. Ask big so you've got a lot of room to maneuver.

I have been thinking back to the early days of the conference when 2-0 could lead to a conference title. The early games, if there are any, will be important.

Also, the Minnesota State High School League Board of Directors meets today. On the docket is what to do with fall sports.

Can't find the Minnesota thread but apparently Rashod Bateman is opting out of the season.  Brutal...

Yup, just saw that. Big loss for Gopher FB, if it gets played at all this school year.

Interesting article about an Indiana University O-Lineman who got a serious case of COVID-19, and now has heart issues.

it doesn't say how or where or when he may have contacted the virus

tested positive in July, about the time he came to campus to start workouts and was tested by the athletic department

mother seems frustrated by the folks in Missouri, not wearing masks and taking the virus seriously enough

possibly infected before going to campus

probably a good thing he went to campus, was tested, and in a good place to receive medical care

Northwestern paused workouts due to a case.

I fail to see how we're going to have any semblance of a season. The teams are too big, too many possible routes for infection, in a sport with a tremendous amount of contact. 

The NFL might pull it off because players are getting paid and might consider it "assumed risk", but for college student-athletes I think the charges of exploitation will be raised early and often.
