Killer comment.

I’ve had professional dealings with college athletes and know exactly how this is.

Our esteemed Governess Gretchen Nit-Whitmer won't allow B1G football in her state of Michigan.

I’m a Buckeye fan. Love the college game. But, the pandemic has taught me not to get too attached to entertainment. Any or all of it can be taken away at a whim.

Americans have lost their fight, and will eventually lose their standard of living, their influence and possibly their country.

Wouldn’t it be fun if Michigan and Michigan State scheduled their game to be played in Indianapolis this year?

Up yours, Governor Karen.

They should still be able to take classes, right? That’s why they’re there isn’t it, right? Oh yeah, “We ain’t come here to play school”.

‘it’s because these parents know that little D’whatyoucallhim won’t make it in the real world’

you are aware, I’m sure, that the great majority of college players have no chance of turning pro...God forbid their parents try and do what’s right for their kids...

“You mean college is about.....going to classes and studying?! “

A friend that was All-State in basketball, his first stop on campus is to meet with the coach... His class schedule is all worked out?

The coach says,’coach Joey, here will work it all out for you... he has a list of instructors that are’FRIENDS OF THE TEAM’!

That said, well into his fourth year he was not 100% sure he would graduate on time. Not every instructor was a ‘Friend of the Team’.

The Professor of his worst class announced that his friend Prof. Soandso had been in a terrible auto accident and needed blood donations, please see him for details after class.

A gentleman’s C and graduated on schedule.

Drafted about number 999? But said school teaching was a steady check.

I think the Big Ten should not play. I think the University presidents & chancellors made their bed and should lay in it. If the players bolt (some will) and the schools lose a boatload of money why should I care? They don’t.

These stories about how upset about football season being canceled crack me up.

They aren’t bitching about the fact that the government, at every level has decided to completely destroy the economy of this country. They aren’t concerned that we have mobs of people destroying cities. No. They are upset at football being canceled.

Somehow, the priorities of people just blows my mind.

I talked to a guy in Columbus today - he is retired from The Ohio State University - he told me the Lawyers are in now charge of every decision.

yeah, because if they can’t hide out in football, they would have no excuse when they don’t show up for class and fail....

BS! The headline is saying it hurts MINORITY athletes.

The policy also hurts all other athletes.

I hate racist themed articles.
