Probably see a lot more from the Big Ten and Pac 12 doing that. This way they can just quit school and hire an agent. Since they're not playing, why bother with classes and NCAA restrictions.

Ja’marr Chase did exactly this at LSU. A couple of other Jrs did as well. As the season gets pushed further back, or if the season stalls for whatever reason, I imagine you’ll see a lot more players following suit.
Those with NFL talent are likely to declare, so that they can get an income from an agent. Players below that level should keep their scholarships and stay in school.
I'm sure there will be plenty that do that in the Big Ten, particularly if your an NFL talent that won't be in the potential Playoffs.
To be honest, don't blame them.
If you were going to go pro after this year, might as well do it now since their school isn't playing. With no way to improve your draft stock, what's the point in sticking around (the exception being if you were on track to actually graduate by then).
In Wade's case, he came back this year, could have gone Pro last year ...
He wanted to Graduate (which he did in June)
He's been waiting around to see if they are going to play this year and finally said, they STILL haven't decided, he's out . (had they quit dragging thier feet, he was in).
Now, it sounds like the Big Ten will vote today (Monday afternoon) if they Do come back, maybe he'll change his mind and stay, don't know ...
I would imagine all these guys are talking to agents, nothing wrong with that, as long as they don't sign with one.
I guess well wait and see what the Big Ten does today.
Oh, I have no problem with him leaving, thats his call ... however, I can also see him coming back if the Big Ten changes thier mind THIS WEEK with an answer ...
As for the Team Fans, He was the glue that they KNEW would hold the Defense together this coming year while the others get up to speed ... a Bunch of young guys will be playing on the D* side this year ..
I know the Coaches were happy to have him back as well.

I remember that, something about 15 or so players.
The latest announcement was to state that they had contracted it already, as in past tense. Currently only 3 or 4 have the virus.

Big Ten football to resume weekend of Oct. 24
The Big Ten will kick off its football season the weekend of Oct. 24 after the league's presidents and chancellors unanimously voted to resume competition, citing daily testing capabilities and a stronger confidence in the latest medical information.
Woohoo!!! I guess the threats of lawsuits against the Big Ten made the commissioner come to his senses.

Good news!
Looks like the Pac12 players are trying to replicate what happened with the Big Ten.

Trojans ask California Gov. to 'please let us play'
In a letter posted Tuesday on Twitter, USC football players appealed to California Gov. Gavin Newsom to ease public health restrictions, which would allow them to play a fall season.
Of course they will ....
Rumor as of a few days ago was Late November. (but I expect that to change).
With only 8 games, I wonder if the Big Ten will do like the SEC and protect their top teams by only giving them bottom feeders from the opposing division for the extra 2 games. Or are they keeping the regular conference schedule for this year?
I do like how they're giving a 9th game to everyone during the Big Ten Championship game, and not only the division champions. Be nice if that became a regular thing for all the conferences.

I personally think the 9th game is ridiculous outside of the Championship game.With only 8 games, I wonder if the Big Ten will do like the SEC and protect their top teams by only giving them bottom feeders from the opposing division for the extra 2 games.

Hopefully no one gets injured and ruins a NFL career.
