The recent pandemic is wreaking havoc not only in the health of people but in the college football schedule as well. As governments try to find ways to control the spread of the virus, schools have to deal with its effects on their finances and mental health of their football athletes. Governments have locked down communities to arrest the spread of the virus, and they’re now trying to reboot their economies.
School officials have to plan on how to keep the academe afloat while trying to ensure that their students are victorious in dealing with the changes in their lives. The lockdown caused changed the lives of the college athletes, but they can solve their academic issues easily because they can always ask Edubirdie to help with their essay writing assignments. They can get the best prices and quality service in their submissions if they order their essays online.
College athletes also have the assurance that they get writers who can write a paper that’s free from plagiarism. They can quickly solve issues when it comes to their academic requirements, but their lack of training can have an effect on their physical and mental health. Football officials have to ensure that they take care of their athletes. Many of these students are anxious about their sports scholarships. Some of them may even have thoughts of committing suicide because they can’t accept a football-less year. This article will dissect the issues and seek answers on what will football look like in the future.
How Did the Pandemic Affect College Football
Many U.S. universities and colleges are already losing millions in revenue because of cancelled sports events. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) estimates that these sports earn around $1 billion yearly in promotions and ticket sales for universities. College sports are a source of revenue, and the cancellation of the tournament this year will cause a huge loss. A part of the money goes to the financial aid of students. For competing NCAA schools, they spend around $2.9 billion in athletic scholarships yearly.
How College Football Matches Are Going Now
Some schools are planning to open their college football season, even though health experts warned them that there would be a huge increase in COVID-19 testing for their players. Some of them don’t even have the appropriate testing resources.

by Full Press Coverage on November 27, 2023 at 12:12 am
Although there are concerns about the risks of playing through the college football season, people understand the financial issues that cancelling it can cause. Some fans already have tickets, and schools may have problems with refunds because they have allocated the money already.
Some conferences, including the Ivy League, already cancelled sports events for the fall season. Other schools will follow suit.
How Football Students Cope With the Changes Caused by the Coronavirus
Some schools have decided to cancel their games, while the others are pushing through with the sports events. Helping anxious athletes at these uncertain times has to be a priority of the medical team of all colleges and universities. They have to prepare for the worse; especially some players are clueless about what they’ll do now that their schools don’t want them to play.
For college athletes, they tie up their identity with football. School authorities have already explored the effects of playing a contact sport during the pandemic. Some people fear that these players may contribute to the shortage of resources and the spread of the virus in the community. They may infect vulnerable citizens and use up testing supplies for unimportant activities. Football teams may undergo isolation or quarantine that can interrupt the season.
The consequences of not having a football future season, as well as the financial strains that it will cause on the player, remain unnoticed. There’s a lot of frustration in the college football world. Without a season, players will have to deal with emotional breakdowns and mental health issues. They have to face the pitfalls of a football-less fall. Support staff members have to help them with their bouts of distress, depression, and alcohol and drug abuse.
In a recent CDC study, it reported that about 25% of young people aged 18-24 have thought of committing suicide during the pandemic. It’s unsettling for these athletes to have their beloved football games taken away from them. They put their lives toward their dreams, and now, they’re struggling to go through life without it in Canada.
The pandemic can also be a blessing in disguise because football coaches can now focus on building speed and character of their players. It’s an opportunity to develop both the mental and physical aspects. It’s prevalent to see anxiety and depression, but it’s the responsibility of the coach or mental health official to communicate with the Canadian athletes that it’s OK not to be OK.
