As a fan, there is no such thing as "too much football" but as a player, absolutely. I commend Keeler and AD Williams for not grabbing the easy cash of an extra FBS game. They actually put the student-athletes first. Props.

100% agreed! Kudos putting player safety 1st. We shall see how this season goes with the teams that played a full season last spring.
