Cancelled. Come on man!!!
NC State has had a rough year with the Rona. First their baseball team and now their bowl opponent.
I feel bad for NC State. Hard to believe UCLA didn't know about this before 230 today.
Players don't want to play and neither do the coaches. Your roster might be 100 guys (including walk-ons). Five guys opt out, 10 go to the portal, 35 have covid. That still leaves you with 50 players. Heck, if I had 11, I would play. But I'm in the minority on that. I would play. I would rather compete and lose 100-0 with an offensive tackle playing at cornerback, than not play at all. It's too easy to quit these days. Texas A&M wimped out and they had at least 35 scholarship players available. That's my opinion, and it won't be shared by many.
I just don't understand these kids not wanting to play. I would love to play again, they only have what? 48 guaranteed games in college. That is not a lot. I want every one I can get.
Someone could argue that the entire student body is available. The players on the roster are just the students that are on the football team, officially. You telling me you couldn't find 45 students at aTm that could have stood in? They only need 22 players.
UCLA canceled the bowl game because their starting DL is out even though they had walk-ons and other defensive players willing to step in.
No team that had canceled a bowl, other than Hawaii, was anywhere close to playing just 43 like we did last year.
Weak society. What a total embarrassment.
