Lettermen Row senior writer Austin Ward is joined by former Ohio State stars Anthony Schlegel, Justin Zwick and Doug Worthington for a fun, casual conversation about the upcoming training camp, which is expected to start Friday for the Buckeyes. The panel breaks down which Buckeyes need training camp the most and who can stand out in the next month before the season starts.

They also talk about the players of the PAC-12, who have a list of demands for their conference, and what it means for the state of college football moving forward.

Woof I love Letterman Row and use to listen all day to them but I can't listen to Schlegal. He dominates every conversation and always says "right?".

Love him as a player but he's too over the top.

I like him to a degree, but it would be nice if he dials it back just a tad, especially the constant asides to hydration/taking care of yourself. Some good advice, but it's not that kind of podcast unless we're talking about training.

Meanwhile at Ohio State

I kind of wonder who's idea the letter was, maybe a group effort by the Captains; regardless it just shows what a special team this 2020 version is. This team definitely has "the right stuff" for another one of these:

I think that the statement is a very good, strong statement from the captains and team. That said, I read it as, ‘we’ve got a shot at some hardware, don’t fuck shit up for us B1G... and NCAA.’

Before Saturday's announcement, Ohio State had been planning to proceed forward with its usual preseason camp schedule – with 24 total practices leading up to its newly scheduled season opener at Illinois on Sept. 3 – after opening camp on Thursday. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said then that he was confident with the team's plan for camp.

“We feel great about training camp in terms of where we’re at with our testing and the way that we’re handling our protocols and procedures,” Day said Thursday. “In terms of helmets and shoulder pads and full pads, we’re ready to go on all those phases.”

Now, though, Ohio State will be forced to adjust its preseason camp plans – while it's now highly unlikely that the season will be able to start in the first week of September – and brace for the increasing reality that the Big Ten might not play football this fall. Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel reported that the Big Ten's presidents were set to meet on Saturday and that all options, including cancellation, are on the table for the 2020 football season.

Not sure how much good a petition can do at this point.

What we really need is legislation that states that everyone involved in a college football season is protected from litigation if they follow certain practices, because the fear of litigation is literally the only concern that reasonable people can have at this point. The risk to the kids, based on the numbers we have, is less than the risk of paralysis or other life-altering injury, and we've accepted that risk for well over a century now.

To make that legislation happen though, you'd need a legislator with the courage to put forward the legislation. There is no doubt anyone who did so would be called a monster and worse.

This brings me back to my main point though. I don't know how many states have a mechanism for petitions to become legislation, but I know it's not all of them (or at least it wasn't when I last read up on the subject, which was 20 years ago). I'm also mostly sure that there is no means for a petition to become federal legislation, which is what we'd need probably anyway.

So, since petitions are off the table, shall we go with kidnapping, blackmail or murder in order to get the season to happen?
