Yeah I was gonna say - it's literally not possible.
You can't play HS ball in Texas past your 19th birthday, I don't think.
Smh google with the pump fake

Can always tell my arguments are won against Georgia fans when they have nothing but to fall back on arguments they had nothing to do with. Like Cardo, like clockwork.
Absolutely it is.This is some real "speak up when I agree with you but shut up when I don't" stuff
I'm just calling out the hypocrisy of you saying we should listen to players and take their opinions into account on some issues (unionizing, NIL, using their platform for social change, etc) but on other issues they're "18-22 year olds who can't think for themselves" (your words, not mine).
This is some real "speak up when I agree with you but shut up when I don't" stuff
Absolutely it is.
The ones who don't feel comfortable shouldn't play and shouldn't have their eligibility impacted for it. Feel like I've been pretty clear about that unless you're reading my responses with your eyes closed.Or, 18-22 year olds are educated on some topics and not on others. Last I checked very few if any of the players in the country have public health degrees. Or do you go to your plumber for a colonoscopy?
It's also interesting that you keep harping on this point about the players who want to play. What about the one's who don't? Or that whole "speak up when I agree with you" thing only works one way?

You're no more educated on or have any deeper level of access to information on the virus than these players do, but you've squarely made up your mind cancelling is the only option. Where's your medical degree?
We can dance around in circles on this. But some of you continue to talk in absolutes like there's not or shouldn't be an option. The statistics available as of today don't flesh out a doomsday scenario for anyone under 50, let alone college aged kids. They just don't.
You quoted a stat earlier where you said, I think, 400 people in the college age range have died from covid among 400,000 who have tested positive. That's what, 1 in 1,000? I may have gotten your numbers wrong but lets say that's what they were: there are 16,000 college football players, so essentially you're agreeing that if all the teams played that statistically about 16 players will die from covid this year, including 1 or 2 in the Power 5 right?
Right. Again - let's skew to most dramatic doomsday scenario possible. It's silly.You're making the huge assumption that literally every single one of the 16,000+ college football players contracts COVID when that's nearly impossible. The exposure rate for the nation as a whole is less than 1%
Yes N41D and I are monsters! Monsters, I tell you!
As they should. A lot of these kids have already made their nut. If you're a solid R1 kid, get outta dodge and go make your money.
Some of you guys are framing it like "these poor young black men are being dragged from their homes and forced to play college football for our entertainment when they clearly don't want to" (I'm black by the way so miss me with that "you don't get it" stuff)
Most of these guys want to play and for those who don't want to play they can easily opt out. Just because they're not making the decision you want them to make or that you would make yourself, doesn't make it a bad decision.
The nation as a whole isn't playing football... People are already getting pneumonia, myocarditis, and numerous other conditions from just riding the bus to work. What don't you get about football being more dangerous than the situations almost everyone else got covid through. Or are we going to keep going in this circle?You're making the huge assumption that literally every single one of the 16,000+ college football players contracts COVID when that's nearly impossible.

The guys that opt out and sign with an agent have 8 whole months to enjoy the money. I fear for some guys being thrust into this new found freedom with money. Good luck to them
You realize pneumonia and myocarditis are potential side effects to go along with nearly every single viral or bacterial infection under the sun, right?The nation as a whole isn't playing football...

yeah, I'm speaking strictly about loans.aint going be big money, though
this ain’t the NBA where guys are signing huge sneaker deals
some guys will get solid money (the QBs and maybe jamar chase).. some of the others will make decent money
until those guys get drafted, they ain’t making BIG money.. they’ll be able to take out loans and stuff
yeah, I'm speaking strictly about loans.
8 months is a long time.
