Why It Matters
The decision has significant negative impacts on student-athletes’ mental health, which is already a growing concern on campuses, and sends a dangerous message about the value of players’ well-being versus financial gain.

By the Numbers

In 2023, a national survey showed a significant rise in the need for mental health services for college students
Yes, But
The decision also raises questions about the future treatment of star players who suffer injuries and the potential impact on the game’s integrity.

State of Play
College football players’ mental health is a growing concern, exacerbated by the pressure to perform at a high level

What’s Next
The decision’s ripple effects may prompt discussions about the treatment of injured star players, the value of college sports, and the well-being of student-athletes.

Michigan is viewed as having the best chance with 36.2%, Texas right behind them with 28.8%, and Alabama with a 26.7% chance of winning the title. The FPI is clearly not high on Washington despite them being the No. 2 seed, as they have just an 8.3%…

Florida State fans had the wind knocked out of them last Sunday with a gut punch from the College Football Playoff Committee and are still feeling a loss of hope a week later. Sometimes life isn’t fair and we need encouragement. Each of us have suffered triumphs and tribulations in our life, the loss of a loved one, decisions we made we’d like to do over. Former Seminole running back Sammie Smith certainly has had his, from the glory of scoring touchdowns days at Florida State to the moment he found himself on his knees incarcerated in an Orlando jail…
