naptownskinsfan Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 17 hours ago, BobbyPhil1781 said: They should but I could see where they wouldn't give it to them. This is solely based on the fact that you can do whatever you want and be eligible for the draft after 3 years removed from high school. Yeah, I don't think the extra year of eligibility will matter for most. Why bother trying to stick in college for most of them? Go to the pros and start immediately and start making some money. College football is going to have some lean years as far as competition goes if they lose a season and there is a mass-exodus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. Even if you blanket give everyone an extra year of eligibility, you still have the 85 scholly rule. All the extra year of eligibility means is you have 5 classes pushed into 4 (or 6 if you count redshirts), which just ends up with coaches having to process 20 more guys. No matter what you do at the end of the day somebody gets screwed. Edited August 9, 2020 by ramssuperbowl99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then instead of mass transfers because kids gets processed you'll have mass transfers because kids won't start. It doesn't matter if a school has 15 OL or 19 OL if only 8 of them ever play.

naptownskinsfan Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Follow-up on the B1G rumors and the tweet from the 24/7 owner Quote Commissioners of the Power 5 conferences held an emergency meeting on Sunday, as there is growing concern among college athletics officials that the upcoming football season and other fall sports can't be played because of the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN. Several sources have indicated to ESPN that Big Ten presidents, following a meeting on Saturday, are ready to pull the plug on its fall sports season, and they wanted to gauge if commissioners and university presidents and chancellors from the other Power 5 conferences -- the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC -- will fall in line with them. Sources told ESPN that a vast majority of Big Ten presidents have indicated that they would vote to postpone football season, hopefully to the spring. A Big Ten official confirmed to ESPN that no official vote took place during Saturday's meeting, but the presidents are set to meet again Sunday night.

naptownskinsfan Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Another interesting set of quotes from the article: Quote "Nobody wanted to be the first to do it," a Power 5 coach told ESPN, "and now nobody will want to be the last." A Power 5 administrator added: "It feels like no one wants to, but it's reaching the point where someone is going to have to." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
