Honestly would be hard to justify forcing college kids to play through this pandemic. NFL players, I get it. They are professionals that are paid millions and millions of dollars.
I don't know that it's forcing them to play. I think they want to play.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Most do, I think. And while it’s a factor, it won’t be an overriding one.

At this point I'm all for College Football delaying the season if Spring allows for fan attendance.

At this point, take it out back of the barn and put it out of its misery.

Sad.  Very sad. There will be no CFB this fall.   


As for spring/ that is just a pathetic joke.  It won’t happen, nor should it   

At this juncture we need to pray for a 2021 season since it is clear they won’t have one without a vaccine. 

I was really looking forward to seeing the buckeyes play with Justin fields Wyatt Davis and Sean Wade, I think they were gonna be pretty damn good this year.

I mean, if there's money to be made, they will try.

Well, if noted epidemiologist Trevor Lawrence says so.

The cruel twist of fate is that the people most angered by losing football are the same people that caused us to lose it.

I'm very confused by the idea that if there's no CFB, they simply send everyone home. 

If they send the kids home, that assumes no students are on campus at all. And if that's the case, then the situation is better for CFB. But if there are kids on campus, making CFB harder, then players likely stay, unless they're not considered real students in some way. 

Anyway, this probably mostly sits in the hands of high-end admins at this point. To steal from some tweet I saw, the wants of players/fans/media/coaches are probably pretty tertiary assuming those admins have solid data to work off of, which they hopefully should. Now they might come to the wrong choice, but chances are that great batch of opinions won't have that much to do with all of this.
