Certainly if you're guaranteed your scholarship this is stupid.  AAC can grant "hazard pay" to the ignorant, but pull back on the scholarships.

UCF makes up a Nat championship, now makes up hazard pay for having the utmost care while voluntarily playing through a virus with guarantees of scholarship.  Oh boy.  Still in Fantasyland, or Entitledland.  You all can sit it out dead broke with millions of other Americans.

And it's a "movement".

UCF.

"SI cited multiple sources saying the movement started at UCF."

And they've paused their camp? I'd like to see UCF and the AAC comment on this.

I thought it was quite comical when I read UCF is leading the "movement".

F-ing morons with coaches and administrators that are afraid to set them straight.  They don't want to get canceled or called a name of any type.  Aresco, get hold of your conference and your member schools, it's embarrassing.

Why no mention of hazard pay for playing in the rust bucket?

They want a % of revenues in a year where revenues will likely drop, putting most programs in red.  Maybe the players can be billed.  Idiots.

Oh, brother. Those clowns over in Oviedo really think they're something, don't they? A couple good seasons in a history of mediocrity and now they're God's gift.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
