    I agree. Dismantle it and create minor leagues. It's a waste of public resources. These guys can try to fulfill their pro football fantasy elsewhere.

    Then cut the cost of an education for all those non-athlete students who go to college to actually get one.

    Athletes have it made compared to the non-athlete student who has to work to pay for their own education.

    Agree. It's time for some perspective. It the non athlete who should be making demands to get rid of the parasites.

    I look forward to rugby and rowboat taking their rightful places back as the premier amateur athletics. @YellowSnow

    Me and @whlinder single handed started college sports in 1852. You’re welcome. If the Pac 12 unity bros want to go back to row boat and rugby as the only game in town so be it. More free pub for me.

    Yup, they want it their way like entitled brats. Not sure where else I've seen a person work their entire life to get an opportunity to work at a job and then immediately smack the hand and say it's a horrible place. "BAM, JUST GOT AN OFFER FROM THE UDUB.... TIME TO BE A SLAVE!!!' - said no tweet ever. I'm done with this. If the refund for my tickets comes up, I'm taking it and ghosting. This is hard to say, because UWFB has been in my life since the day I was born, but time to say fuck these kids. PS: Nice that seniors and pros are weighing in, after they've made it or set themselves up.

    I’m more than ready for this. College football is so far from the game I enjoyed for decades that I won’t miss it. This frog is getting out of the pot.

    I’m pretty sure the strategy is to delay the announcement that, at a minimum, no fans will be allowed. Delay it to the point they can tell people they will just roll 25% of the ticket price to next year. A TRUE fan would support this and the team in these difficult times. Oh..and the price of tickets for next year is going up 30% to make up for the lost 2020 revenue.
