You know this how?

First hand, speaking with them directly. They all said they did not want to do that much running.

Well then, never mind.

My opinion is that what you write is the publicly stated and politically correct reason, but many of these folks are just hiding behind this and the real reason is that they are unhappy about the extra physical effort.

...

And so what if they are? They are independent contractors, they set the parameters for which they choose to work. They are consequences and repercussions that come with making such decisions. If they are willing to live with them why should anybody else care?

Correct. And I do not mind their decision cuz it means more games for me! I must be some sort of two-man scab or something. Might be a moot point anyway since word on the street is that they are going back to three for varsity this year.
Was at a high quality camp last week where they had us doing precise two man the entire first day on the premise that if guys couldn't be primary minded in that they would just be worse in three man. Another thread topic perhaps, but I appreciated the point.

I had a funny feeling this would come back to haunt the defense.
