Feels like things are starting to swing the other way than this morning. More momentum for playing the season. NCAA and BIG 10 probably didn't expect this big of a blow back and thought they would get more support

This afternoon, I met with our football team and staff to have an open conversation about playing football this fall. At the end of our discussion, I asked if they wanted to play football and the answer was a resounding YES.
This group of student-athletes have worked hard to prepare for the season amidst detailed and strict healthy and safety protocols. I can’t wait to see them on the field in Neyland Stadium.

You are seeing more and more SEC leaders coming out today about wanting to play this fall. It's intentional.
After a strong push behind the scenes to ratchet things up, they have taken the fight to save the CFB season public.

Harbaugh has made a statement that he wants to play and the testing protocols have worked
If the big ten cancels this it I’ll be a big mistake in my opinion
To me it’s very simple, someone needs to come out and say these schools can’t be sued if someone gets sick.
Even though I think the players demands surrounding the virus and the protocols seemed reasonable, I wonder if that scared the presidents. Like if they don’t this or don’t do that they will be sued by a player if someone gets sick
There needs to be a waiver then you can play players
