News broke today that the SEC is telling unpaid college players that the 2020 season will continue as planned in spite of the fact that they expect each and every team to have COVID-19 breakouts. SEC football players are expected to weather the storm while tasked with attending class with the wider student body.
It really is not about the SEC players. The season will continue with or without them.
The NFL is taking the same plan, even though there is so much still undecided and undetermined about player safety. Apparently, players have to figure out if they want to risk playing this season and they have to figure it out right now.
