DE Jonathon Cooper (2nd Team All American, Denver Broncos)

If the season doesn't happen in the winter they need to offer an extra year of eligibility to every current player in CFB. Won't help the 3 year guys since they will jump to the NFL next year anyway, but the 4-5 year guys would get their senior year next year.

I'm sorry but this is dumb

I’m not sure what is dumb about it....there’s no guarantee of a spring season either.

Ohio State should be as flexible as possible with guys like Cooper and Hilliard (or any player on roster). They should allow them to seek transfers to schools that are playing, and should those seasons be cancelled, welcome them back with open arms.

Who’s to say players would be granted immediate eligibility?

I have a hard time believing that the NCAA would encourage the one year raid of the Pac 12 and B1G with assurance of immediate eligibility. Knowingly kneecapping two conferences is a bad business model. On the other hand, it's the NCAA, so....
Also, if they end up canceling fall championships due to S-A health and safety concerns, how could they in good conscience grant immediate eligibility to any transferring athlete? Talk about hypocritical. Then again, like you said, it's the NCAA.

DE Jonathon Cooper
Jonathon Cooper might need another season of tape before making the jump to the NFL more than anyone on the Ohio State roster. After slowly building through his career, last season was slated to be a breakout season for the Columbus native, and there were high expectations for him lining up opposite of Chase Young. But an ankle injury sidelined him for nearly the entire season, forcing him to redshirt and making this season pivotal in his journey to the league. If the Buckeyes play in the fall, Cooper could have good film for NFL scouts, allowing him to make the leap to pro ball. If Ohio State isn’t on the field, Cooper will have a tough decision to make.
