Report: Tank Bigsby won't play in Citrus Bowl against Northwestern

Not much of a surprise. DJ and Shivers will have to carry the load.. if Shivers is attending. I haven’t seen pictures of him at practice or traveling with the team

Got to be injury related right?

Steele said yesterday that AU has a COVID case that just tested positive yesterday. Steele refused to name the player.

Matt Zenitz is saying he didn’t opt out.

Rumors that Jamien Sherwood had a chance of heart and traveled with team, and could play.

Word is we had some guys hit with C19 tracing.

I would like to see warm ups before the game. Is Tank even dressed or is he in civvies?

I don’t think Tank traveled

Yeah. I agree. The schools gives you an education. If you aren’t going to play because you don’t want to, you should be back billed.

If they are quitting to quit, and not because if Covid or injury. They should owe

For student athletes, college is two-fold. First, furthering education and second, furthering athletics. They are not just students, they are also athletes. Sitting out a meaningless bowl game or leaving early is no different than a typical student skipping their final year of school to pursue a business opportunity. In fact, that’s exactly what an athlete is doing when opting out. When you bring in the scholarship piece of things though, it does make it a bit more hairy of a discussion. I see both sides of it but I think it’s a little ridiculous to blanket all these kids as spoiled, coddled, prima donnas. They go through a lot.

The job analogy doesn’t hold up completely because these kids aren’t getting paid nearly enough for what the bring in for the schools.
