#38Today's kids are dumber than caca. They are totally incapable of actually thinking for themselves. All they do is follow along. Like 95% of you in here, they are easily controlled by ANYONE who knows how to lead a heard to water. Why does the NFL refuse to develop a legitimate minor league system? Because they know that they have a free one in the Colleges. The truth is simple. White College Football players have a 5% lower graducation rate when compared to all students who do NOT participate in Sports. Black College Football players have a 25% lower graduation rate when compared to those same students. On top of all of this, many of the degrees allegedly "earned" by these students are absolutely worthless, like Black History, Fitness Conditioning and Performance, and many others offered by these colleges. Today's kids expect and look for a free ride. They do not want to actually have to work to earn a living. To them, handouts and welfare is a way of life and they like it. If you want to pay kids to ply in college, make them pass the same entrance exams as every non-athlete who enrolls in that college must pass. Well over 50% would not be able to accomplish that.Comment -

#39They're adults. Are you telling me they're old enough to get sent to a foreign land and be slaughtered in a war, but not old enough to choose to assume the infinitesimal risk of dying via virus, so that they can enjoy life and play a game that's brought them joy and a sense of purpose their entire lives?Comment -

#41Exactly!
You just solidified my point!
Yes they are amateurs.
Hence the reason if they choose to play, they would need to sign a waiver stating it's their decision, and the school is not at fault should they get sick.
Do you even read before you comment so quickly being eager just to disagree with someone??
Yep, read it. Your waiver idea is idiotic.
They're amateurs. It's not their decision. They have no real power.
There should not be an option for AMATEURS to play if they can't be protected by the powers that be. Period.
But yeah, sign this waiver so those powers can keep making money and also be legally protected.. Are you serious?
If college football and basketball are that important to revenue generation, then it's time to pay the people that actually produce the product.
When players are paid to play, then the schools can introduce a waiver.
At that point, the reward may be worth the risk.Comment -

You guys really think this about protecting players from a corona virus.
Why do you still think that? You have to know what the truth is, or are you guys waiting for some kind of link from the presidents?Comment -

Didn’t the entire Clemson team deliberately get Covid, so they would be good to go once the season started? Of course Trevor Lawrence wants to play. His risk is gone now. Tony Boselli’s entire family got Covid and he nearly died but of course his son wants to play now, since he recovered. Him and Trevor trying to get drafted. No wonder they’re pushing to play.
CFB ain’t playing this year. University presidents will not take the risk, especially without fans in the stands where they make a ton of money.Comment -

We're not talking money here.
You're adding a completely different topic.
We're talking athletes who want to play (Not get paid) and a solution for the NCAA to not be held accountable
The only thing idiotic is you twisting the topic wise guy.Comment -

The NCAA isn’t the group responsible, it’s the universities that assume most of the risk. Most Athletes are not going to sign waivers. Several have already opted out.Comment -

#53What athletes are you talking about that don’t want to be paid? I’m sure there’s a few but guys like Lawrence and Fields will get paid. Hell theyre already getting paid.

I agree with you some will not sign waivers.
They have that same option not to take the risk just like professional athletes.
The percentage of college athletes who are going to get paid LATER, as pros, is so small, I'm not sure why that is relevant here.
We're talking college players in general.
Not a handful of guys.Comment -

#57Now it's the MWC that is going to fold up for the fall. Per ESPN: "The Mountain West is postponing its fall sports season because of concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN. League presidents met Monday afternoon to finalize the decision. Stadium first reported the move."
I get a kick of of HC's like Scott Frost of Nebraska, and Jim Harbaugh of Michigan. who want to play anyone no matter what the Big 10 does. Of course these two terrible HC's have NEVER won any game of consequence.Comment -

I'm talking about 99% of the league. Either way, you make my point. It's about legal liablity, money. They give a rat's ass about the health. If they could abscond the liablity and sell tickets, they'd play in a heartbeat.Comment -

NCAA may be forced to play on lest they face litigation from the LGBT community.

More SBR sports experts
Trevor Lawrence doesn't have to play one more second of college football to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft when he is eligible
He is actually risking more by playing

#67Until Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields and Many Others finish their medical training, lets stick with following safety guidelines from the director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases whose primary role is overseeing "an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as respiratory infections"

#69Stop talking out of your ass. If the majority of players didn't want to play, there would be zero discussion about having a season. The fact of the matter is the majority of players do want to play, and big names like Lawrence and Fields are spearheading the sentiment by starting a hashtag movement on Twitter. It's ultimately not their decision, but the season won't be canceled for a lack of player desire. Don't spin the narrative just because you couldn't read past the headline.
Like I said, Lawrence is a GUARANTEED #1 pick when eligible
The only thing that could change that is injury
He wants to play because he is competitive
If he only cared about the NFL he would try to play the least amount of college possible before he can go to the draft
The other top players are in a similar situation, yet still want to play
The players who aren't yet top picks obviously want to play to move up the board with good play
This place is scary stupid sometimes
That being said, I certainly understand if someone didn't want to play with covid around, but to insinuate that the top players are coercing lesser players to play is beyond dumbComment -
