I thought the SEC, ACC, Big 12, and other G5 conferences would follow suit and actually care about the student-athletes and their well-being. But as we saw, their greed for money, power, and status was more important. So now the Big 10 and PAC-12 don't want to be left behind while the other P5 conferences reap all the power and money with less products to compete against for attention.

While it would be great to be the only FBS conference playing football and have all the ESPN Saturday games to ourselves in the Spring, we would also be at a disadvantage come Fall 2021 season when all our injured players are still recovering and all our non-conference opponents have had ample time for their players to recover. Also, i doubt the NFL draft would move back their timeline only for the MAC. So all our seniors who have graduated and are interested in playing in the NFL would likely opt out of any Spring season.

More college football players will die from head injuries than COVID. Show me one study that says 18-24 year old healthy young adults are at risk. If they cared, football would not be a sport due to ptsd and concussions

If players want to assume all the risk then that is one thing. I would get the student-athletes that are demanding to be allowed to play to sign a waiver that any complications (foreseen and unforeseen) now and in the future from contracting the virus is not the responsibility of the school. If they sign it and want to play then let them play. But good luck with telling NIU students they aren't allowed to attend classes in person but the football team and other athletes are allowed to use their money from student fees to play sports.

This all looks like the classic bait and switch to ensure student enrollment at universities and retention of students and their money. Tell students they are allowed to attend classes in person or a hybrid of in-person and online. Then once you already have them enrolled and paying tell them they are now only allowed to conduct online study.
UCF did the same thing. Paid for this semester's housing, moved my daughter up there, and then the change to all "on-line" classes. She could have stayed home for that, like they did in March April and May when they closed the campus.
