Rob Parker: “This shouldn’t be college football. I’m an adjunct USC professor and school starts on Monday, but guess what? We’re doing it virtually. ONLINE. NO CLASSES. You can’t ask players to go play football but they can’t go to campus for classes. They’re a part of the student body. I have no idea why this is taking so long, and shame on the NCAA. They cancelled Division II and Division III football. How in the world can they leave Division I football?? The only reason why it’s even in the mix is a MONEY GRAB. It’s NOT about the kids’ health… These are college kids who have no medical insurance, no guarantees, and no protection. How in the world can you ask them to go out? How in the world can you tell Division II and Division III players that THEY can’t play, and then ask people in Division I to play football? So you can collect your money from the TV networks!” (Full Segment Above)
