Can someone give me a reason why G5 schools should even play the season? No P5 money games, super limited attendance, its all cost and risk with very little revenue. Ask the seniors They can be seniors next year. im sure playing less games, without fans, and without occ games is less than favorable to them. the schools might have more of a problem with a skipped season than the seniors will. |

I’m not even sure where to begin on how terrible your view is on this and those kids who work their butts off for this. I don’t think they would appreciate being looked at as an asset on a p&l statement. |

Whatever...I was referring to his original statement of why should the g5 even play a season. They put in the work for 4-5 years and deserve to be able to play their senior year, graduate and move on. They shouldn’t be penalized because the athletic department might not make the usual revenue, they don’t get extra when the department makes millions |

Everyone in this country is facing unique and uncomfortable situations with regard to the effects of the pandemic, so lets not act like im just throwing them under a bus. I said they can get their senior season next year. i also listed 3 reason why a senior might want to get a shot at a full and normal season the following year. There are a few athletes that are opting out of playing this season due to concerns about teams being able to keep them safe from covid while playing. so its not as if my question was completely anti-player. |

what are the odds that head coaches “scrub” the players contact tracing lists
i.e. night before big game a fourth string bench warmer tests positive, but had star qb on his tracing list. will coach sit the qb and submit the honest lisr?

You asked a question of why g5 should even consider playing, I gave you an answer. Your entire post was about money, nothing about the players so forgive me if you misrepresented your stance. Can they be seniors next year, has that been ruled on? Will the scholarship limit be raised and will the university pay extra scholarships? Can they afford to pay it after a cancelled season. It’s much easier said than done. The players want to play |

The players want to play In your answer, I took exception with your calling my view terrible, when i felt it was at least half way decent, so i presented a defense to my post. your view was a different view from mine for sure, but looking at the players perspective is ok. I dont know if any of those details you asked would happen, however they did this past season for spring sports, so there is resent history to build on. as for your "the players want to play" . im sure if given a option, there wont be 100% agreement among the players. |

They all currently have the option to choose not to play but with other conferences playing, canceling our season won’t be so cut and dry in regards to extra eligibility. The G5 is accustomed to playing with limited attendance, 50% capacity won’t effect that with the exception of a handful of schools. 25% capacity wouldn’t be an issue for majority of the g5. The guys who are on schedule to graduate and deserve their senior year should be considered. At 50% capacity Cajun field can hold 21,500 which wouldn’t be an issue except fir mcneese. People are making decisions in all sorts of situations without looking at the consequence of the people actually being affected by it. If seniors do get an extra year you are really taking a year away from the underclassmen who won’t be awarded and extra year. It’s all easier said than done. |

I don’t think they would appreciate being looked at as an asset on a p&l statement. why is athletic hard work pointed out so much more (and seemingly valued more) than academic hard work. also the very person “putting in that extra hard work” for athletics may be doing so at a cost of their own academics. and may bump someone who was putting in the proper balance of academics and athletics...seems “hard work” supplanted “god given talent“ approx 15 years ago or so??? all the reasons why and which is better could be an excellent separate thread.. |

Ole what’s his name is enjoying some easy living in the Big Easy. He’s got another box checked on his career resume. Maybe we get lucky and some other conference needs a dud for commissioner.
