One question that has surfaced since the Big Ten return (again) has been centered around whether or not players can opt back in to the season. We have seen stars around the league, such as Purdue WR Rondale Moore and Ohio State OL Wyatt Davis, decide to opt back in to the new Big Ten season, although if they played for Gary Andersen at Utah State that would not be an option.
The former Wisconsin coach, who surprisingly left the Badgers before the conclusion of the 2014 season, does not feel that his players should have the choice to opt out.
.@USUFootball coach Gary Andersen said there is no opt out policy at their program. “If you opt out, you’re not with us," he said.https://t.co/4dSOby3uKC

In a year this strange, almost all programs have gone against this way of thinking and allowed players to opt in and out of seasons that, even when they are being played, are always in flux.
