The NCAA completely fumbled the ball on planning ahead

After listening to Satterfield’s frustrations as to why the NCAA has not come up with a way to map this season out, I’m not so sure he shouldn’t be the president of the planning committee.

“We had months to plan out how we’re going to come back,” he said.

He, like so many players and parents, has voiced his opinion on the matter on social media, expressing his frustration with the timeline and poor planning of the NCAA. Especially in a time when players and coaches were prepping for practices and had their sights set on huge plans for the season.

“Some of the leadership in some of these leagues, to me, are lacking in the fact that when we set a plan and said ‘this is what we’re moving forward with’, let’s stick to it,” Satterfield exclaimed.

More than anything, it seems as though Satterfield wanted answers from the leagues, instead of just passing the buck and falling in line like the rest of the nation. He blasted them for lack of foresight and proactivity, and scolded its laziness of an impending cancelled season.

“Thats not leadership…that’s the easiest thing you could do,” Satterfield said.

The coach was not happy with the leaders of the other leagues that have already shut down their football activities either.

I think he was spot on with where the blame should actually lie. The NCAA has been practically crickets on the COVID-19 topic since the termination of March Madness back in March.
