Sadly we've probably seen Fields play his last game in the scarlet and gray. Can't imagine he'll play in the spring. Was so excited to watch him this fall, such a damn shame.

How about Trey Sermon .... Thanks for transferring to tOSU. If the BIG12 still plays. What a clusterf**k.

For sure he'll go first round, but probably Georgia and SEC will undeservedly reclaim him if he reaches star status. (see Burrow,Joe/ OSU)

I really hope his last pass as a Buckeye won't be that interception against Clemson...But, if it is, I do understand. Kid has a bright future at the next level.

I wouldn't feel bad in that regards. Wade was a late first or more likely 2nd round pick last year. With no season, he doesn't risk injury and or bad play with a slightly new role this year. Plus this year will be such a mess that no one will really have the opportunity to pass him on the draft board. So he will make more money, earn his degree, and not have health/injury risk. If I was Wade, I would secretly be happy, although bummed about the lack of potential title.

Fields has fulfilled his commitment I don’t expect any more. He was ready to play this fall.,unlike other students he can’t finish his internship for NFL.

I would say more than fulfilled his commitment, shit the kid fought tooth and nail to have a season. Can't ask for more than that. He'll uncertainly just go to pro whether there's actually a spring season or not, which I can't blame him for. I would do the same over hoping for a spring season that won't happen. As much as it sucks we'll never get to see him do his thing in Columbus, I wish Justin the best and will root for him in any future endeavor. Thanks for the memories and the leadership Mr. Fields!

I think you can remove the word "probably". I seriously doubt the B1G plays football in the spring, and Justin needs to go get paid.

Agreed. "Probably" was a phrase that is days old. There will be no spring season and even if there is, Justin has no reason to play and I will root for him in the pros. He did everything he was asked here and more. I will have nothing but fond memories of him, true Buckeye.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Interestingly, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, who has covered the NFL for years, the league would not only welcome the idea of college football in the winter and early spring, they would do what they could to accommodate it.
"I’m told these are ideas that have been discussed by college coaches already and, notably, NFL teams would be willing to help," Breer writes. "The Lions, for one, were approached by a Big Ten school all the way back in the spring about using Ford Field in this way. NFL teams also have discussed what it would take to move the combine and the draft back a month (potentially having the combine in early April and draft in late May) to accommodate the college game.
"Are there a lot of moving parts here? Sure. But there’s also reason for people involved to be motivated to get it done. For the Big Ten and Pac-12, this would be a shot—by playing a winter season rather than a spring season—to give their players the chance to play without totally firebombing their 2021 season, and maybe even create an option for other conferences to delay their seasons. For the NFL, it would mitigate what will certainly be a messy, messy situation for its ’21 draft class, in getting most top prospects on the field.
"And then, there’s something simpler at play. The NFL needs college football to remain the force that it is for a multitude of reasons. Having all five power conferences play, in whatever form, between now and whenever the draft happens is, without question, the best way to get there."
