Notre Dame added

 

Was looking forward to seeing more from him.

All I've really seen from him do is sit in Cover 3. I wouldn't use a high pick on that kind of defensive back.

 

Lol at any conference thinking games will be played this fall

 

Not a chance in hell would you find me on the field/court for a fucking college team lmao. MAYBE a pro team but for free in college? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

what worries me is, if games are played, players who feel that they can drastically increase their stock are gonna take the risk thinking an immediate payday is coming. Let’s say you were projected as late 2nd round in NFL or something and a handful of expected first round talent doesn’t play - you know some family/friends/agents are gonna be saying they should play to boost stock and play it off as “you’re young and healthy you won’t get sick” and some people will sadly believe it (and/or already believe that) and will take the chance and that suuuuucks

 

which is why the adults should step in and shut it down but all the NCAA is good for is manipulating and taking advantage of 18 year olds

 

yep. And they’ll try and spin it as “trying to keep life as normal as possible” and it’s “good for their mental wellbeing to do what they love”.

local news already has had lame asa high school football coaches on blabbering about how if sports aren’t played the athletes won’t know what to do with themselves and will obviously get depressed and kill them selves or party nonstop because all athletes know how to do is athlete and clearly nothing else.

 

but it's not for free you get an EDUCASHUN!!!

 

I mean at least they’re having fun, I guess?

 

this would be a great time for the northwestern players union to step up if they didn't get squashed

 

I’d forgotten about that union attempt. Damn. If anyone was going to unionize college athletes, now is the time.

 

Everything is fine.

 

Some juicy news and allegations coming out of Colorado State right now.

 

you could argue UConn’s been cancelling their seasons for a decade now but good for them

 

I mean half of their schedule was cancelled. As an independent you're kinda screwed this year.

 

future Dolphin Micah Parsons

 

Rousseau from UM also opting out

 

Trevor Lawrence next?

 

#1 EDGE and #1 LB opting out in the same day is something else.

 

Purdue WR Rondale Moore opted out

 

Not a chance you’d find me on the field during all of this. Hell, if I were a projected top 5 pick, I’d be tempted to sit my junior year pre-pandemic.
