Come on Hoops. From time immemorial coach's have had the captains "call some of the other player" to get them together for "workouts", "practice games", or just "get togethers". We did it in high school in July and August before football camp. And that was in the fifties.
One part of me agrees with you , Ucbart. But, unfortunately, aside from Boston College there are no other Power 5 colleges in the New England and I seriously doubt that people here want the tone to be set for them by LSU, Texas A & M, or Nebraska. And I am not attempting to denigrate those schools. It's just that, and I hope this is true, I believe that sports has a place in college life but it should not be first and foremost.
Isn't the devil supposed to bad? Thats the whole idea ..
Look, buddy, I just reported this piece of information. I am not here to condemn, support, or advocate any direction whatsoever and I do not have any authority to so. What you did point out is that there really is a schism between those that do and those that don't.
I was aware of that. As you point out, this e returning players are there for “voluntary” workouts only at this time. Again, there is much to be decided and much to be done before actual games are played.Southeastern Conference athletes can return to campus for voluntary workouts starting June 8, the league presidents voted Friday. It’s the latest step in what’s been a week of positivity surrounding college football’s return.

There is nothing to be done. There's not going to be some grand proclamation that says it's OK to play the games. There is nothing legally preventing these schools from playing the games they have scheduled.
No one is talking about legality. This is about the safety of players, coaches, staff and the greater college environment. Every single college in the nation is wrestling with those issues right now despite what you may think. Those decisions have not been finalized. We may have some kind of college football in the fall, likely without fans, perhaps with a truncated schedule. Clearly, as I mentioned previously, some schools will not be playing football, I.e. the CA St schools in the WAC.
Where in this article does it say that ND is “PLAYING FOOTBALL?”

UCONN will be very bad for WCBB for the next 5 or 6 years AGAIN......…...Carl caught up with Geno.
“Can we get them here? Can we get our freshmen and our returning players back on campus and give them a semblance of normal, whatever that is? Right now we don’t have any definitive plans. Nothing’s finalized. The university is working on it.”
“The best-case scenario for us is to get them here in the middle of June and try to get them working together and on the court and give them an idea of what school will be like,” Auriemma said. “Every coach wants that. I think every player wants that.
“The worst-case scenario is nobody comes this summer and we all keep our fingers crossed and hope that school opens in September.”
