Robinson joins debate: Bears receiver Allen Robinson II, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2012-13 when he played at Penn State, was asked whether he thinks the conference should play football this fall. Due to concerns about the coronavirus, the Big Ten postponed its fall football season and hopes to play in the spring.
"It's so tough, man," Robinson said. "If I'm being honest, I probably would say that I don't think that they should play, and I know that a lot of college players may hate hearing that.
"I know how it was when I was in college, being around your peers and wanting to be around your peers and doing stuff as a group and a lot of social stuff. I mean the definition of a university is many colleges in one, which is social. That's the biggest difference [between college and the NFL]. You have gatherings at your student center. You have different study groups. You have things like that. That's what college is all about.
"So, thinking that they're going to be able to put that to the side and still have kids on campus and living in the dorms and things like that, and trying to have football as well, I think it would be very, very tough. Health-wise, I don't think it's worth risking for all those guys.
"We have a facility where we can take extreme precautions when it comes to distancing and stuff like that. For them, they're just a little bit more limited on their resources and limited to control what's around them from a football standpoint. That's the thing. College is not just about football. It's about classes and other things like that. In the NFL, here, it's all football all day, and that's the most important thing."
