#DefundCollegeFootball needs to trend there and go nationwide to all fans to stop all donations and give up their season tickets and not renew them when conferences finally decide to play...

It’s not about that. It’s about the NCAA wanting to protect the sham of amateurism.

There is probably a good bit of truth to this.
It’s hard argue for playing a huge recreational sport in a pandemic without bringing up the revenue and business. And you can’t discuss that without player compensation.

Well the liberal media isn’t going to let up until November, and the P5 leaders are too worried about liability.


Media has nothing to do with thisand your conspiracy theory doesn’t hold water when compared with the facts. But by all means, continue being an uneducated moron.

It’s a damn shame that the virtue signaling pussies are allowed to determine what is best for others and we are forfeiting our freedom of choice.



Yeah! I shouldn’t have to slow down in a school zone because my freedom of choice to do 90 through those zones. It’s irrelevant that my choices could have an impact on others. All that matters is my choices.

Exactly, this isn’t a safety issue at all. It’s a liability issue.



And when you actually examine this argument at any level below the surface, it falls apart. Trevor Lawrence pointed this out on Twitter last night. Athletes and their families are safer with them on campus. On campus they will be tested constantly and, if they test positive, they will receive the best medical care possible. Contrast that with what will happen if they aren't on campus. They'll get the virus, more than likely remain asymptomatic, and will more than likely infect grandma and grandpa.

What athletic directors and university presidents are doing right now is passing the buck. If an athlete dies off campus from the coronavirus rather than on campus, they don't care. Because it's not on them. But if one dies on campus from the virus, they will lose their job more than likely. It's a disgusting lack of leadership but that's their line of thinking. But let's all ignore the fact that these university presidents aren't worried about the liability they currently face with students returning to campus. They don't seem to be concerned about that at all.

Any school president that votes to shut down is clearly a racist. They don’t want minorities to have a shot at the NFL
