As one comment says, "so they will go to class, work out, go to training room, go to practice, eat at training table, study at student center....But won’t play games... all in the name of student athlete “safety”?

What football player is going to do that?

Frost at NE is saying he won't do that.

I get it from the program's perspective. As a program, you want reps. Those reps matter for player development.

I'm assuming Alvarez is recognizing that football in the spring (and then again in the fall) is not realistic.

Well for frost a NE they are in for one hell of a legal battle trying to actually pull out of the Big 10. Basically its all talk because its not a battle they are going to win without losing a shit ton of money.

Nebraska has no leg to stand on legally. The B1G owns that ass.

Why can’t players and coaches just sign a waiver?

Oh, I get they aren't going to do anything. My main point is that it is ridiculous to think you can tell players they are going to continue to do everything they've been doing up until now, just with no games to play. See how that works out for them. And, it shows the safety bullshit is, well, bullshit. What, so long as you don't play games COVID will not affect the heart?

Yea highly doubt the university is taking that hit just for 1 (maybe) watered down season of football.
dont know if this is true but apparently the comment was directed towards Nebraska that if they played out of conference they would be kicked out

Oh there's no doubt the comment was directed at Nebraska. The message is clear: if you go rogue and try to play in the fall, you are gone.
