Sometime after 9 p.m. ET Saturday, several Penn State football players began tweeting a hashtag: “#IWantToPlay.” Earlier in the day, star Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence tweeted that the Tigers “want to play.” On Friday, Ohio State linebacker Tuf Borland put a message on Twitter backing the safety protocols put in place at the school and the Big Ten.
It was a noteworthy collective statement from some high-profile players at Top Ten programs. And it underscored the angst of the situation in college football, as everyone is left twisting and waiting for a resolution of whether there will be a 2020 season.
