B1G Cancels Season

[Mistaken4193]

I can’t believe all the college commissioners and athletic conferences are in on this get Trump out of office thing too....or at least ThTs what a bama and UW fan told me...

God you are such a little pussy

Can Nebraska still play in the Big12 in the fall and then the B1G in the spring... that would be fun.

 

[osubuckeye89]

the irony for Nebraska fans is just too sweet.. they left the Big 12 for not having a voice since it was too Texas-centric.. Now they are in the B16 and still have no voice..lol

Nobody really had a voice. Its pencil dick politics and lawyers making these decisions. Not the people in charge of the athletics.

You said it.....worldwide conspiracy...I just repeated it....

kevin Warren giving very long winded non answers about everything.

He might as well just say "we never really had a plan and were basically just crossing our fingers really hard"

I don't think the virus cares if you're reading a book or playing a game before it infects you

But all of these decisions are weighing risk/reward. Educating students comes before entertaining people. Ultimately, amateur sports right now are an unnecessary risk.

 

[Churchillin]

Can someone tell us if there’s a chance individual teams who have testicles in their leadership still figure out a way to play?

Anyone?

I hope to god that a spring football season means the end of the bowl post-season model

College Football was never happening.

The NFL will play

Agreed. All parties involved in the NFL have a ton of incentive to play. College athletics not so much. For most of them, sports are a financial drain on their university.

Kevin Warren should lose his job.

LETS FUCKING GOOOO NEBRASKA!!!

Come play with the SEC and ACC

LSU would be proud to host Nebraska. Omaha treats LSU so well when our baseball team goes to the CWS.

I don't think Ohio State is going to go down without some kind of fight. Theres really not much they can do in terms of changing the decision. But it could get ugly.

 

[trojanfan12]

well because one is a risk for education, the other is a risk for entertainment.

That would make sense if it weren't for the fact that football players would be the safest people on campus.

They can be more or less isolated to the football facilities, they are tested at least twice a week (how many times a week are the other students getting tested?) and they have immediate access to to high level medical care.

I'd bet that they are more likely to be killed or see serious effects from an actual football injury than from catching Covid.

Especially if they are forced to play 2 seasons in 1 calendar year.

Because the football players can have something of a bubble created for them, I'd say that you're probably more likely to see an outbreak on campus among the regular students than among the football players.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Within 2 weeks every conference will do the same. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Football was never happening this fall

From what I hear if the B12 stays course the SEC will also and there is behind the scenes dialog taking place right now.

I don't think Ohio State is going to go down without some kind of fight. Theres really not much they can do in terms of changing the decision. But it could get ugly.

Come Join the SEC for 2020. It will be fun watching y’all play Bama,LSU, Barn, and UGA

They still are the safest kids on campus; it's not like they're leaving. They just aren't traveling around the midwest. We have no idea what the long-term effects of COVID are. This heart stuff is coming out and it's particularly bad, even for young people. So your blanket statement is unknown.

I had the flu once.

Then the students shouldn't be back on campus. They should be taking the classes online.
