candyman93 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I think it’s time I just make this it’s own thread. The supplemental draft in 2020 might be the largest in nfl history due to 1 question: If College Football is officially cancelled or significantly delayed before the supplemental draft, does that qualify as putting ones upcoming season in jeopardy? If the answer is yes, you will see a flood of potential guys. Here are the big names who would be eligible: Marvin Wilson Florida State JR Shaun Wade Ohio State RS SOPH Alex Leatherwood Alabama JR Tamorrion Terry Florida State RS SOPH Pat Freiermuth Penn State RS SOPH Alaric Jackson Iowa RS JR Jaylen Twyman Pitt RS SOPH Josh Myers Ohio State RS SOPH Trey Smith Tennessee JR Chuba Hubbard Ok State RS SOPH Wyatt Davis Ohio State RS SOPH Walker Little Stanford JR Patrick Jones II Pitt RS JR Hamsah Nasirildeen Florida State JR Thomas Graham Jr Oregon JR Camryn Bynum Cal RS JR Paulson Adebo Stanford RS SOPH Carlos Basham Jr. Wake Forest RS JR Kylin Hill Miss State JR Damonte Coxie Memphis RS JR Tyler Vaughns USC RS JR Rakeem Boyd Arkansas JR Brady Breeze Oregon RS JR Paddy Fisher Northwestern RS JR Charlie Kolar Iowa State RS SOPH Journey Brown Penn State RS SOPH Cade Otton Washington RS SOPH The head of the NCAA doesn’t expect fall sports if there are no students returning to class. The NCAA’s primary fear is: 1. Being sued. 2. Insurance companies pulling out and not wanting to provide for athletes. This is a bigger deal than people realize and might be the deciding factor. 3. The optics of athletes catching the virus and possibly losing their life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Wade would be an incredible pickup. Really raw but he’s got talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I just don't see CFB cancelling anytime soon. If they push things off, there will be a delay but no decisions against. There is too much riding financially on CFB, every effort will be made. If there's no season, the future of so many major universities are so screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re an insurance company, why the hell would you want to provide coverage to CFB players when this is going on? The whole CTE thing already scared off a lot of them.

I've been researching an episode for my podcast about the issue of concussions and CTE in Australian Football, now that there is some evidence beginning to show it becoming a problem there as well.

Everyone who has played football/rugby has had concussions, and if you have had more than 1-2 there will be slight residual affects from it. I got a concssion in 2016 from work and it still has some impact on my life, but I can still do my job, raise kids and do whatever. Except hand aroudn in certain places with a lot of noise.

The NFL can set up a captive, mutual insurance company for its teams and maybe even offer "membership" to and collect premiums from NCAA programs.

candyman93 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Not trying to be a Debbie downer, but look at the NBA. It has zero clue what to do and in theory, it should have been the easiest team sport to start up again. I give college football less than 20% chance of starting on time.

I think a big issue with the NBA is where do you pick up? Id assume it would just be with the start of the playoffs, perhaps an abbreviated playoff schedule, but players have been off for months now. Do you just jump into playoff games after such a lay-off? Idk? I don’t see college football starting on time either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to still finish the regular season (stupid imo) and then playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather cut into the players offseason and cut a month off next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much chance this happens osu alumni could start there own insurance company and insure the entire NCAA.Then take there games off as a business expense.
