They jumped the gun thinking the rest of college football would follow suit. Instead the rest of college football yawned and said 'good luck with that, we'll be playing football'. And you can bet that those schools were getting it from all sides with both barrels. Student athletes distraught that their chance to maybe play football for the last time (or maybe in a few cases make a splash and go pro), parents, boosters, student fans, TV, everyone.

This face saving 'oh wait, science says we can proceed now! how smart we were to wait until the science was sound!' move is so transparent. They will be playing.

I'm glad he can read and write. Unfortunately, you lack those skills.

I said, Monkeys who can neither read nor write are processed through and graduated from a college for no other reason than they can run 100 yards in record time.

I did not say that all athletes are monkeys. Try again, this time, with reading comprehension.

Just turned on the K-State Arkansas State game. They appear to have about 50% of their stadium capacity filled in Manhattan. Lincoln Nebraska is a little less than a three hour drive from Manhattan. Hey Big 10 pinhead academic leadership, what is different between Manhattan and Lincoln where their kids can be playing football front of fans and our kids are sitting in their bubble wrap safe spaces?

This crap is so infuriating! Free the B1G to play some football!!!

I think they should forego the actual playing of the game of football. Who needs that? Just have all the athletes lock arms while the public address announcer admonishes the crowd for white privilege, racism, black lives matter, etc. Instead of yard stripes paint BLM logos all across the field lest anyone should forget how terrible this country has always been. Have “people of color” sing the black national anthem, while the whites are told to kneel.

This will all be good. The players will then be able to feel at one with their NFL idols. The crowds will scream and holler in delight as their guilt is being purged.

As a bonus, have the local police departments send all their white officers so they can recite the black pledge of allegiance, pledging to refrain from arresting blacks in order to make up for 50,000 years of keeping their foot on the necks of blacks. Crime will go down, and prison populations will shrink. Everyone will feel safer and happier.

Only Trump stands in the way of a more polite society.

The Pac 12 doesn’t produce contenders anyway. They would be the only ones left out.

I re-read your comment. It was just as ignorant and erroneous the second time.

Many college football players are brilliant students. My son happens to be one of them.

I’m glad that college football is back.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I grew up watching football with my dad, which drove my girly-girl mom nuts. I married a football fiend. We dumped the NFL a few years ago. We’ll dump NCAAF, too, if they pull the same ****.

But darn, I love the game and miss watching it with my hubby.

Please, God, let them grow a brain if not a conscience.

Define many. Whenever I used to watch NCAAF I’d often look to see what the majors of the players were. Let’s just say I never found a whole lotta STEM majors on the rosters.

K-State football players did a BLM and “equal rights” and “unity” thing before their game against little Arkansas State, and then proceeded to lose to Arkansas State 35-31. Ha Ha!

If Big 10 plays at all this year it will be thanks to President Trump.

I agree with your point. Well stated.
I miss the a College Game.
I finally found a game on Antenna TV. Notes Dame v Duke. Unfortunately it didn't’t last long. Announcers pointed out Black Duke Logo, and Black Power Fist on Helmet. TV. Off.
If, and when Thee Buckeye play the second I am feed this Leftist Propaganda. T.V. Off.
May have to wait a couple of years to watch again. Hope not.

More than half the roster of my son’s team majors in finance, engineering (mechanical, chemical, electrical), business administration, accounting, biology and the like.

In Days Of Thunder Randy Quaid said his race crew looked like monkeys humping a football. They were all white. I use it in that sense, viz. Grown men who behave like monkeys.

Couldn’t agree more.

I’ve played baseball since I could hold a ball in my hand.\

I’ve played over twenty-five years of organized non-professional
softball and baseball.

I’m tossing over 64 years of love of the game.
