1) If players are released from football they still stay on campus - first and foremost they are students and have been on campus for over a month now. No one on the university side has ever stated they were going to be sent home.

2) If a player decides to go home or to do things on campus those are personal decisions not one endorsed and rolled out by a conference to play a sport

My post was tongue-in-cheek - but you gotta have a sense of humor to get it.
But your #1 reply is good info, if true. I know there have been students and players on campus throughout the pandemic. But local news reported that (regular) students would be sent home soon with dorms closing and virtual education for the near future. That was really the basis of my sarcasm. I do hope that players are allowed to continue having access to facilities whether we play or not. That is simply not the case at some other schools - students and players have been locked out.

OK.
Now get a game with Nebraska

It’s nearly impossible to commit 100% to anything now. Will the virus subside it will it spread wildly? Who knows? It’s all you can do if you are hoping to play.

My guess is that we get started and don’t finish the season. Hope I’m wrong. I’m happy they’re giving it a shot! Fingers crossed!
