Some light reading for those of you with college-age children:

that make sense, isolate the students in their dorms instead of going home and infect the whole family.

Educated folks know we have been through this many times before.


If you are afraid, stay home.

Never...   never have. Probably never again once the body count from the shut down and the damage is totaled.

So much better than " terrorism"

It will be used again and probably very soon

Ohio state in the SEC?  They’d never make a playoff again.

You seem not to remember the last time Ohio State played Alabama.  OSU beat them up physically as well as on the scoreboard.  And the SEC has it's cupcakes in the league also.

I thought they were all under a contract that they were required to play games.

If this is going to be a problem, then they need to make an amendment to the contracts - players can not opt out of playing a game due to politics/protests/etc. First offense is a fine of $1,000,000, 2 mil, 4 mil, 7 mil, then 10 mil. After the 5th offense, the player will be removed from the roster for the rest of the season with forfeiture of pay of the duration of the season. If the player holds a multi year contract, they will be placed under probation for the next year. Any repeat offense for refusing to play any game for the above reasons that would place them in violation of their contract which the player would be immediately dismissed from the team. The balance of the money owed to the player after dismissal would be null and void

But that wont happen because you know, its racist and stuff.


well apparently my wife says its scholarships, not contracts. I was thinking about the NFL.

Then the college players should instantly lose their scholarship instead and permanently ejected off the team after the 5th offense. But they wont because it would cause riots and looting at the colleges by the terrorist groups

by rule these kids have no money. the institution and surrounding economies make a living off them, under the ruse of a free education.  The issue of contracts exposes a obvious problem. these kids should be PAID for their product.

I'm pretty sure most nfl players dont get 400 million contracts, a few do but by that's the exception, just checked and average pay is around 2 million, falcons had the highest 4 million.

average number of years they play is 3 to 4. think about that.

college get zip.

I'm not here to defend the overpriced universities across the country, but the players get more than a free education, which many CHOOSE not to take advantage of.  They receive free room and board, top notch healthcare, tutoring regular students can only dream of, opportunity through contacts/connections they can use later, some of the best coaching and conditioning to help them reach their goal of making millions at the next level, a guaranteed job in the offseason and finally, stipends if they come from a low income family.  The only thing I am in favor of is allowing players to profit from their likeness once they leave college.  Other than that, I feel the tradeoff is more than fair.

Our cupcakes don’t usually lose by 50+

Paying kids to play college sports will ruin it

Are the cheerleaders and band going make $$$ too?

Why not? If free college is not enough, where and how do you draw the line?
