Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby won’t agree with this, nor will any other college football coach, but it’s time to implement the NFL’s injury reporting system in college football.
The SEC announced at the start of the season a “student-athlete availability report” that will list players’ statuses for conference games. So, if Mississippi State’s Kalvin Dinkins isn’t going to play against Florida in two weeks, we’ll know about it before the game starts.
It’s a good start, but either the SEC or NCAA needs to require all teams to provide an availability report for every game.
This isn’t so us in the media can write another story nor is it meant to satisfy fans’ curiosities about their favorite teams and players.
