There will be a college football season only if the players say there will be a college football season.
And it doesn’t appear like the players are anywhere close to signing off on such a risky proposition. In fact, it’s looking more and more like a loosely organized player movement in several conferences will result in the season being canceled altogether or at least postponed.
It’s becoming increasingly obvious, based on a reported UCF-led player rebellion in the American Athletic Conference, that the decision to play college football this fall won’t be made by old men in suits, but by young men in uniforms
It’s all well and good that the Power 5 conferences have all unveiled their plans for playing a football season, but their strategies and schedules are nothing more than suggestions.
