per O'Garza:
Maybe this is how it was always going to end up. Maybe it was a foregone conclusion, and we’re just fast-forwarding 4 months.
But who would have thought that Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020 would have a monumental impact on the Big Ten title race? I guess in a year when the NCAA Tournament was canceled and sports leagues are playing with no fans, it’s par for the course, but usually we don’t have multiple news stories breaking that will alter the landscape of the season that is still over a month away.
The day began with Minnesota star wideout Rashod Bateman opting out of the season in order to train for the 2021 NFL Draft, a perfectly understandable move considering he is likely a 1st-rounder.
Around midday, Ohio State star quarterback Justin Fields and a few teammates hopped on a call with local media. That’s when Fields dropped a bombshell of his own — that he hadn’t yet thought about opting out. This was noteworthy considering Fields will likely go in the top 3 picks of the draft, regardless of whether he plays this season or not.
“Getting to the money as fast as I can isn’t really a priority,” Fields said. “I can see where those guys are coming from, but I haven’t really thought of it yet.”
Wow.
