Ohio State player wants Buckeyes to join SEC for 2020 season
Reports are surfacing that the Big Ten has canceled the 2020 fall football season. Dan Patrick reported that the decision was made early Monday morning, while the Detroit Free Press is reporting the same.
So, now, attention turns to other Power 5 conferences. The Pac-12 is thought to follow the Big Ten and cancel the season, while the Big 12, ACC and SEC remain somewhat united to wait longer to make a final decision. Can the Power 5 trio hold off the fear of being the only 3 to play? It remains to be seen, but the SEC needs the Big 12 and ACC to stand firm with them.
Following the reports that the Big Ten season is canceled, Ohio State linebacker Teradja Mitchell asked if the Buckeyes can go play in the SEC.
Can we go play in SEC then ?!

College football is on life support right now, and if the fall season is canceled, the great sport we all know and love likely won’t be played until fall 2021. A spring season doesn’t make sense on so many levels no matter what presidents or administrators say.
Sadly, a lot of players will lose an entire year prepping and trying to make the NFL. It’s not a big deal for us fans…but most of these guys are missing more than just a season of entertainment.
Kind of have to agree with you here. Not only is a missed college football season very detrimental to their development, for some, it could be the end of their football career as a whole. It sounds harsh, but I think the season would have gone on if the government had passed a stimulus package that included liability protections. Make no mistake, these moves aren’t to protect college athletes, they’re to protect universities from potential lawsuits if a player gets sick.
The NFL didn’t hold a supplemental draft this year, I wonder if they’ll try to fit one in now. It would offer a lifeline to all the kids who came back for senior seasons that won’t happen now.
Get any teams from any conference that want to play. If they can get 64 teams, seed them and just do a tournament. The most any one school would have to play is 6 games.
Nah, keep it a small group. I trust UF is doing right in regards to COVID control. I don’t trust Miami doing the same.
Great point
I’m down.
Would LOVE to see OSU play in the SEC!
Hell I’d just like to see OSU have to play SOMEBODY
Is that a new way to spell Clemson? At least OSU is in a conference that has more than them ranked. Clemson? Not so much.
Yeah at least the Big 10 has some contenders. The All Clemson Conference needs some backup…
Please tell me the facts. This site has one article saying the Big canceled the season. They have another saying it isn’t a done deal. The one saying it wasn’t a done deal was written after this one. So we are to listen to the players when they want more money but not when they say they want to play.
Listen up all you B ONE GEE players – most of you had your chances to play in the SEC before you went to Ohio St. I know it’s a crappy bed, but it’s the bed you chose to lay in!
