There will be some former player coalition five yeas or whatever down the road and sue all these schools that played this fall
Be ready for that. Just knowing the culture we have now, not everybody is going to be happy with the protocols. They will be bitching about something
They will say they didn’t uphold their part of the contract(scholarship), and cancelling the season hurt their future chances of making the Nfl etc

Dumbest thing I’ve read on this webpage in a while, and I had a conversation with altie the other night.
Schools are upholding scholarships. It’s not just a few schools cancelling, it’s entire conferences and it’s not even 100% certain even the SEC will pull off a season.
Colleges are not obligated to have sports even under normal conditions. No one will waste their money trying to sue for such a dumbass reason.

A scholarship is not a contract to get to the NFL and doesn't have to be renewed each year if the student-athlete does not fulfill his obligation. The scholarship is a grant and aide to obtain a college degree, football is the means to which the scholarship was obtained.
The football player would still be on scholarship even if football is not played, in other words, tuition, room and board, meals, books, and medical care, etc would all still be paid for by the University.
