I think the push by players and parents to let them play gives an off chance that power 5 conferences might figure out something.
Will players agree to put themselves into a bubble for the whole season to play?
I've said this before, universities are perfectly set up to create bubbles on their campus and most power 5 schools have the ability to put together their own testing on campus. The biggest obstacle is safely getting the visiting team to the games each week.
Not sure how they can go through all these hoops and still call themselves amateurs.
Justin Fields ain’t playing a spring season either.I also think guys playing in the spring would be more complex than just the NFL draft. If Trevor Lawrence sits out, wouldn't Justin Fields and OSU's chance to win a national championship jump considerably?

I think Fields had a good 1st season but I don't think it was good enough to just sit out the season. Being the preseason #2 QB even if he is mocked at being the #2 pick is still a huge unknown. A #2 preseason QB can easily get passed up by a couple other QBs and then drop multiple rounds. I don't believe his one year of tape would be enough for NFL teams to make him unquestionable the #2 QB and a 1st round pick. My guess is he will hear from teams that they want him to play and show that he has progressed.
Idk, 1 year of tape was good enough for Haskins and I think Fields was better than Haskins.
No chance in hell he plays in the Spring, nor should he.I think there is a difference between putting up 1 year of tape then going out to the NFL vs putting up one year of tape then sitting a year. I think teams will start questioning alot more about Fields. They like to see progress in QBs. Maybe it isn't enough to drop him out of the 1st round but the difference between #2 and #32 is alot of money.
I think teams and agents will tell him to play himself into a top position vs sitting on the tape he has made. I think someone like Trevor Lawrence is in a very different position than Fields.

It has been nice to see OSU players, families, coaches, etc so unanimously outspoken about wanting to play. Very cool. Hope they keep it up.
