Subject: I have no idea what impact their statement will have but I don't have a problem with it. The season is plenty long now. If you add a conference play-off game and a bowl game, you're up to a 13 game season for a lot of D-1 teams. Apart from the academic issue, I think someone has to be concerned about the welfare of the athletes. That is an awful lot of wear and tear on the bodies.
