I wonder if they see Pritzker’s phases and are worried NIU won’t play football, so they’re trying to transfer to a state where the chance of playing football is higher, so they don’t risk missing out on their final year.

I think Pritzker's 5 phase plan has really spooked a lot of players. Most of these guys only have 1 year left to play football. They can not take the chance of Illinois not being open for the fall period. The reason that it is mostly starters is they are 20/21 yr. old kids who still have dreams of playing in the NFL. Their time frame is IMMEDIATE/NOW. JMHO!!

Pritzker has the entire state wondering about it's future. Just a terrible leader.

71% approval of handling of covid says you're wrong.

Bottom line, guys who get diplomas before their eligibility is up are going to leave.

71%??? Who did they poll? Mike Madigan and Lightfoot? There’s a lot of disgruntled people now because they are starting to see that this has turned political. If you think JB has your health in his best interest I have some swamp land to sell you. The hospital system I work for releases COVID hospitalizations on a daily basis. We have been on the decline since late April. Makes you wonder where JB is getting his “surge” numbers from.

I wonder, but I don't think you can extrapolate one hospital system to the entire state.
