See, I hate this statement. It completely oversimplifies it.
I genuinely don't think Jamie Pollard or Bob Bowlsby or Greg Sankey or whoever else are trying to line their pockets. These guys have more money than they'd ever need. Not playing football would have significant ramifications on many, many people other than that. There are programs that would be cut. There are scholarships kids would not receive in the future. There are jobs that would be lost. There are local businesses that would suffer. There are kids that will not have a chance to show they can play professionally. Let's not act like billions in revenue can be lost and the only people that would feel it are the ADs and Commissioners.
I can appreciate the play/don't play debate from a medical standpoint. That's fine. But quit acting like this is all being done to make some administrators rich.
My business depends on movie theaters and theme parks being open and people feeling safe there.
The theaters in South Korea, Austria, Germany, Canada and countless other countries that did things right are back open and safe now.
We uniquely F'd it up. The big money making play was a hard shutdown until it was actually under control, not just reopening at the very first plateau. What we did royally F'd our economy.
It sucks Canada can sell my products now (and they're selling like crazy) but America's failure has our domestic profits at a teeny tiny spec of dust compared to other countries around the globe.
