President Donald Trump has officially thrown his support behind Trevor Lawrence and the #WeWantToPlay movement with a tweet today saying the “student-athletes have been working too hard for their season to be cancelled.”
Meanwhile, it’s being reported Big Ten school presidents voted 12-2 to cancel fall sports with Nebraska and Iowa voting to keep playing. Jim Harbaugh has written a letter supporting #WeWantToPlay and Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has written a letter urging the B1G to play this fall.
As if the situation wasn’t crazy enough, Pete Thamel is reporting a Big Ten spokesperson as saying, “no vote has been held by our presidents and chancellors.”

People are at just as much, if not more risk, if we don’t play. Players will all be sent home to their own communities where social distancing is highly unlikely and medical care and expenses will be placed on the families if they were to contract covid19 (1)

Players being safe and taking all of the right precautions to try to avoid contracting covid because the season/ teammates safety is on the line. Without the season, as we’ve seen already, people will not social distance or wear masks and take the proper precautions

Good for Trevor! A student-athlete with more leadership than college administrators who can’t wait to cancel the season adding to the misery.
Common sense says to play. But there’s an entire section of society that lives to go against common sense wherever it’s found.
Why is it so hard to just let the athletes play.
Today I saw a father and son playing basketball at the park.
My local golf course is packed. It was Jam Packed with Young and old golfers.
The local gun range is packed.
EveryOne is doing Stuff, but college sports are Scared to do Stuff!?
