Speculation is rising as college football could possibly have two seasons in 2021.
TMZ Sports reported “One source tells us … it will be up to players if they want to stay on campus or return to their homes. With most classes available online and no team practices allowed until January, some players will see no reason to stay. But, with scholarship athletes still getting lodging and food plans covered by the schools, some are expected to stick around.”
Top college football players are more than likely to enter the NFL Draft and it would be a waste of time waiting for the season to return.
Two seasons within one year have a detrimental effect on the athletes who aren’t five-star prospects. It’s a business and when a sports like football isn’t televised, billions of dollars are lost.
COVID-19 is still hanging around in 2020 and the best thing players can do is opt-out if they feel like they’re putting their health at risk.
