Clay Travis: Spring College Football Makes No Sense

I gotta tell you, one of the dumbest ideas starting to get traction with the woke idiot sports media on Twitter is the idea of spring college football.

Here are three reasons why spring college football is lunacy:

If you are concerned with the coronavirus, there is no guarantee that things are going to be better in January, February, and March.

Actually it is more likely that things will be worse because that is the height of cold and flu season so it makes no sense to postpone when it is warm outside and when viruses are not spreading as much as in the colder months.

Point 2: If you are a top player, let’s say Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields, why would you play if you are trying to go into the NFL. You start to train for the NFL combine in January.

Why in the world would you go play a spring college football season that wouldn’t end and could potentially risk your health right before you go into the NFL draft? It makes no sense. All of the top juniors and seniors would sit out if you are a first rounder or think you might be a first rounder.

Point 3: You then would have to play two seasons in a really short period of time. You play January, February, March, and April. You sit out a couple months and you are right back into it.

That is a tough turn to play two football seasons in the same calendar year. That is incredibly difficult and would likely lead to many more severe injuries.

Spring college football makes no sense. Anyone arguing of it is, quite, frankly, an imbecile.
