Probably see a lot more from the Big Ten and Pac 12 doing that. This way they can just quit school and hire an agent. Since they're not playing, why bother with classes and NCAA restrictions.

Does he know something, that hasn't been reported yet, like Big Ten voting to Not come back ?

Those with NFL talent are likely to declare, so that they can get an income from an agent. Players below that level should keep their scholarships and stay in school.Ja’marr Chase did exactly this at LSU. A couple of other Jrs did as well. As the season gets pushed further back, or if the season stalls for whatever reason, I imagine you’ll see a lot more players following suit.
I'm sure there will be plenty that do that in the Big Ten, particularly if your an NFL talent that won't be in the potential Playoffs.Probably see a lot more from the Big Ten and Pac 12 doing that.

To be honest, don't blame them.I'm sure there will be plenty that do that in the Big Ten, particularly if your an NFL talent that won't be in the potential Playoffs.
In Wade's case, he came back this year, could have gone Pro last year ...To be honest, don't blame them.
If you were going to go pro after this year, might as well do it now since their school isn't playing. With no way to improve your draft stock, what's the point in sticking around (the exception being if you were on track to actually graduate by then).
Then I definitely understand his decision.In Wade's case, he came back this year, could have gone Pro last year ...
He wanted to Graduate (which he did in June)
Oh, I have no problem with him leaving, thats his call ... however, I can also see him coming back if the Big Ten changes thier mind THIS WEEK with an answer ...Then I definitely understand his decision.
I'm thinking we heard about this several months ago .... think they are all fine by now if they were affected at all.Orgeron: 'Most' of his team has contracted virus
Although he said he didn't know the exact percentage, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday that "most of our players" have caught the coronavirus.www.espn.com

I remember that, something about 15 or so players.I'm thinking we heard about this several months ago .... think they are all fine by now if they were affected at all.
Ed Orgeron started his news conference Tuesday by confirming that three or four of the team's 105 players are currently sidelined with the virus, but overall the reigning national championship team is "very healthy."
However, later in the interview while sharing how the team has to make adjustments due to the virus, he shared more information.
"I think most of uh ... not all of our players but most of our players have caught it, so I think that hopefully they don't catch it again and hopefully they're not out for games," Orgeron said.
Big Ten football to resume weekend of Oct. 24
The Big Ten will kick off its football season the weekend of Oct. 24 after the league's presidents and chancellors unanimously voted to resume competition, citing daily testing capabilities and a stronger confidence in the latest medical information.www.espn.com
Woohoo!!! I guess the threats of lawsuits against the Big Ten made the commissioner come to his senses.
Of course they will ....I wonder if the Pac12 will be reversing course as well.
The Big Ten will follow what Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez called an "8+1" schedule, featuring eight regular-games followed by a ninth cross-divisional game for every team to be played the same weekend as the Big Ten Championship game.
The cross-divisional matchups will be decided based on each team's divisional standing at the end of the season.
As usual, the top team in the east will play the top team in the west for the championship, but this year all the other teams will be matched up, as well, with the second-place teams facing off, the third-place teams facing off, and so on.
I personally think the 9th game is ridiculous outside of the Championship game.With only 8 games, I wonder if the Big Ten will do like the SEC and protect their top teams by only giving them bottom feeders from the opposing division for the extra 2 games. Or are they keeping the regular conference schedule for this year?
I do like how they're giving a 9th game to everyone during the Big Ten Championship game, and not only the division champions. Be nice if that became a regular thing for all the conferences.
