I don't expect anyone but students to be allowed in the stadium this season. If that's what it takes to be able to play college football games, I'm fine with it! I'd hate to see these seniors miss out on this season.
I would think the NCAA will do the right thing and give waivers to the seniors who don't have a season. I hope they do at least. A lot of kids could benefit from that. Even gives them an additional 2 semesters to finish their degrees if they won't be done by the spring.
The waiver is never the issue, its the money to pay for the additional scholly that causes a problem, unless all HS seniors are waived to stay in HS an extra year

That was the point that I made back when Spring sports were impacted. It is unfortunate but there is going to be a class that takes a hit somewhere. If the seniors get an extra year, that impacts the opportunities for all the classes below them, some of whom are going to lose playing time. There really isn't a perfect answer.

I figured the money would be an issue for many. I don't know how we are on that front but I hope if we have some who are able and want to that we can do it. Hopefully it can work out for this group.
