Big 10 Commissioner's Son Playing Football Is the Height of Hypocrisy

Big 10 Commissioner's Son Playing Football Is the Height of Hypocrisy

2020 has been crazy, and this statement holds true even more in recent weeks. Clay Travis has all of a sudden become the biggest defender of Big 10 football in the entirety of the United States.

Last week, the Pac-12 and Big 10 announced that they will not be having college football this fall, while the Big 12, ACC and SEC are all planning on going ahead with their college football seasons. Clay Travis doesn't understand how this is possible, especially when you look at the data.

Clay has 3 boys, and all 3 of them will be going to school, in person, next week, and that is something Clay strongly endorses. If they were older and in college, Clay would want them on campus and going to class. The data suggests that the danger from the Coronavirus for college aged kids is minimal. This is exactly why Clay has so much empathy for all of the parents of Big 10 athletes who are being forced to sit out this season without any say in the matter at all.

The biggest hypocrisy in this whole situation centers around Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren. Warren's son is a football player in the SEC at Mississippi State, and his son will have the choice to be able to play football this season. Just a couple of weeks ago, Commissioner Warren was asked about his son and playing this season, and Warren said that he would feel comfortable in his own son playing football in the SEC.

The Big 10 Commissioner believes it is safe for his son to play football, and his son is able to make that decision for himself in the SEC on whether or not he will play this fall, but in the Big 10, their college athletes aren't allowed to make that same decision. To Clay, that is the height of hypocrisy. Do as I say, not as I do.

To add on to the hypocrisy, many Big 10 campuses across the Midwest are having students on campus, attending classes in person, allowing kids to live in dorms, there will be eating on campus, football players will still be on a 20 hour a week training schedule, and schools are allowing intramural sports to take place. All of these things are allowed, but football games on Saturdays can't happen? It makes zero sense.
