The SEC will leave the NCAA and start it’s own college sports governing body, inviting other schools to join.

POTUS should call for a ‘minor league’ for seniors that want to play. Plenty of volunteers. Train at high schools. stick it to the NCAA.

The SEC is about to cancel as well. Legal liability for the athletes is too great.

I humbly disagree.

Of all the conferences the SEC is the one with the clout and the resources to actually pull that off.

If you are under 25, the flu is more deadly. Your chances of dying from COVID are less than being hit by lightning.

So, less blm/justice/GF honor jerseys to see. Down side? Up side. Some of the less than stellar students will be able to devote more time to perfecting their doctoral thesis efforts.

If they’re canceling football, then they need to cancel the scholarships too.
Same with NFL. No work, no salary. That’s the way it goes for us poor slaves.
