    What a clown. I was following some of the action on twitter last night. I see there is already a #WeLikeToWatch hashtag. Chauncey Gardener is going to sue somebody.

    Waiting patiently for Cancel Culture to find its way to Danny Kanell. I don’t think he’s ever done anything racist or sexist or violent. I just think that it’d be cool if we could also cancel people just for being awful at their jobs.

      That’d be a long list in regards to CFB Writers:

      Dan Wolken
      Darren Rovell
      Dennis Dodd
      Pat Forde
      Stewart Mandel
      Bruce Feldman
      Nicole Auerbach
      Pete Thamel

      And that’s just the national guys who’ve campaigned for months against a season. That doesn’t count all the beat writers (minus Seth and Chip). So many of them have a need to see this season not played that is pathological.

        Could not disagree with this comment more. If you think that people reporting on the sport don’t want the season to happen, you’re simply incorrect. You are simply proceeding from an absolutely incorrect premise.

        Ha! You showed them! Won’t they be sad when they get laid off!

        I know you believe that; however what I think they wanted was some amount of leadership from the schools and the conferences. The schools and conferences still cannot answer the questions that have been asked here for months. There was no plan. They had months to develop a real one. There was just a bunch of turtling.

        Alternatively, the conferences and teams had medical experts telling them all along that it was not safe and they chose to ignore it until now, which just means they created false optimism in us.

          Exactly what kind of a “plan” would have allowed the season to progress? NFL players are paid big money to put football first and foremost. And those players were, and are, testing positive. Ditto for NBA players until they were jailed by the league.

            I really don’t have one. But I suspect the schools knew they wouldn’t have a season based on what their medical teams were telling them, and they dragged their feet to perpetuate a charade where they can straight-faced ask all the students to be “on campus” taking online classes. Can’t do that if you acknowledge that you will shut down football in July. Now when they send kids home in September, the administrators will have clear consciences (and a full semester’s worth of student money).

          There’s a difference in simply not paying attention and in being willfully ignorant. There have been a cabal of writers who have spent months only spotlighting every single piece of bad anecdotal evidence while ignoring the good anecdotal evidence AND the actual available scientific data which doesn’t fit their narrative. Whatever the reasons are don’t matter. It’s literally what they’ve done.

              College presidents are spineless politicians, and if you don’t think politicians (along with corporations) put far too much priority on what Twitter thinks (even though 90% of twitter’s activity are from 2% of twitter users and are not in any way indicative of real world thinking), then yeah, you’re really not paying attention.

        They’ve been saying the season in is in question because the NCAA isn’t prepared. Where’s the lie? Also, why are people getting their panties in a wad over predictions? Like the predictions of sports writers have any bearing on the final outcome.

    Agree……50% revenue and the demands are ridiculous imo, let them walk. Rather watch a bunch of walk ons play the game than changing the way it is now.

      I simply don’t understand this argument that the game isn’t fun anymore if the players aren’t “amateurs.” Honest question: why would having the players that we all claim to “love” and “care about” improve their financial well being negatively impact your enjoyment of college football? You just said that you’d rather watch inferior game play rather than watch football players who are being allowed to directly profit from the risk they’re taking physically to play football. Todd Gurley’s family often didn’t even have electricity where they lived as he was coming up. Would it have been less enjoyable for you to watch him play if you knew Mark Richt wasn’t making 4 million dollars and instead Gurley was able to send money home to help his family eat?

        There is a place between the status quo and pure pay-for-play that would have enabled Todd Gurley to send money home. It’s the Olympic model.

        TG3II should have been able to do exactly what he was doing to earn some walking around money. The fact that others were actually profiting from the Free Gurley movement with t-shirts showed the stupidity of the whole reason he was suspended.

          Bingo.

          The problem is the NCAA is standing in the way of a compromise like NIL that almost every coach, administrator, player, and fan would want.

          The NCAA has brought us to the brink because they’re literally trying to prevent players from having their own likeness rights. It’s pure insanity.

            I have said from the beginning of this NIL debate is that the schools should be able to say the use of their NIL is included in the value of the cost of attendance scholarship (and any use of NIL in a video game will be compensated equally). They have the ability to monetize their NIL outside of athletic activities but cannot use any trademarks without express agreement from the university.

            None of this will cost the universities or the NCAA one dime (other than a video game). I don’t know why we’re at this brink.

    Danny Kanell’s turtlenecks cut off a sufficient amount of oxygen to his brain for him to think rationally. I think the union movement is a bad idea for many reasons, but he’s just an idiotic buffoon.
