Really good from @lainehiggins17 and @Bachscore https://twitter.com/WSJSports/status/1296784156358254593
colleges know they have an optics and labor issue if they close campus and keep college football going. and yet they’re still doing it because $
they’re not doing it bc the kids really want to play. please. far more kids wanna go to class, and they’re being told to pack up and go home.
to be clear: would be fantastic if schools stayed open, sports played, campus life as close to normal as possible. but to extract one part of campus life out and operate it while shutting rest of it down is clear evidence of what we all knew before, that amateurism is a fiction
And if CFB wants to have *that* conversation, *great*! It’s overdue. Give everyone a seat at the table and you can probably get all the football you want, hypocrisy free!
The *whole* situation stinks. It really does. It stinks for the players who do indeed want to play. But it stinks for students, faculty and parents. If this complicated debate isn’t holistic, about the *entirety* of college, then what are we doing here?
