Trevor Lawrence posted on social media in the campaign ‘WeWantToPlay’ recently got the attention of the college football world and even President Donald Trump.
ESPN college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit thought Lawrence, Darien Rencher, and others helped the sport have a unanimous voice among the players.
“I just find it amazing that last week or so the players in college football saw an opportunity to hear their voices, whether it’s social media or were originally united from the Pac-12, the Big Ten together, and now sounds it like you said Jay, late last night they all came together, “he said.
Herbstreit understands that everyone is concerned about the security issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think there are several issues that they all want to address, the most important thing that ensures their safety is the primary focus, which I think of everyone I talk to has moved them in a better direction. then maybe where they were. “
Herbstreit believes most of the power in college football belongs to the five conference commissioners who are primarily looking for their own conferences.
“I feel that sometimes the managers are put in a bad light, where I think they are trying to figure this thing out,” he said. “One thing I’ve clearly seen is that it’s easy to say there’s a lack of leadership. The reality is in college football, without a commissioner and without the NCAA type who can govern the rules or make decisions are made up of basically five leaders in college football, the Power Five conference commissioners, and they’re all worried about their constituencies, their presidents, their fans, so it’s hard to get everyone really on the same page, because they all have to do with their own agenda and their own set of issues and problems, and maybe what the Pac-12 is up against is different than what the Big Ten is up against and the SEC.That makes it easy to sit on the outside and to say ‘why these people do not make good decisions, it is because they do not worry about the collective body, they just worry about their conference.’
Security issues regarding the players and students on campus is a complicated issue to manage for a school.
“The health of the players is obvious,” he said. “Test, and we can get better tests and more tests. How about trying to find out where tracing contracts is, how do you draw the line with that when these players start the class, and a player becomes positive, how do you decide who has been within six feet of that player who is now more than 15 minutes positive? Can you imagine doing that at Alabama vs. Ohio State vs. Texas A&M vs. Florida State? Is everyone going to follow the same rules ? I think the idea of saying that people do not want college football is crazy, everyone wants college football, but how do you get there with the data that comes in and logistics, how do you try to get it off? Where people will test positive “It’s just going to happen, and what are you doing, how do you check that if they test positive? I think it’s the big hang-up here, the liability that hangs over your head from all these decisions.”
