Summary
In this episode, we discuss Chris and Mya Hinton — parents of Michigan DT Christopher Hinton — speaking up publicly in several national publications about their concerns for the college football season. We also discuss our thoughts on FBS schools' handlings of COVID-19 so far and whether or not the NCAA should delay the season.
The Hintons' comments are discussed first, as we break down their parent coalition, them providing a voice for so many concerned parents and more thoughts on what they had to say. We also discuss the NCAA's actions so far, and whether it has been enough.
Then, we discuss the Hintons' broader claim for college football to "pump the brakes," and what college football should do in terms of delaying or modifying the season. Along the way, we also touch on how Michigan, other Big Ten schools and the NCAA have handled things so far, and what it means moving forward.
