IMO this country has been duped because some folks don't like the results of an election of the President. First they say well the majority of people voted for Hillary. Then Russia stole the election. Then Trump colluded with Russia. Trump had a mistress. He hates __________ blacks, Mexicans, illegals, Chinese, women, etc. None of those lies stick because they are not the truth. Then a virus becomes Trump's fault. We the people are nuts to let this $hit continue. You can vote him out if you want too, but the alternative choices give me nightmares. He took matters in his own hand today with his executive orders. This is not the first or last virus we are going to face but I am not going to purchase any products from China. So without being barefoot and naked I'm all in for made in the USA. Just read on my mask made in China.WTF

What happened in the last week that caused the B1G officials to rethink their stance?

Kids can go to school, but can't play sports. We can go to grocery store and restaurants, but can't go to sporting events?

Where / what is the logic behind this?

Nebraska stating tall for now.

Some folks born in the '60's have been saving their entire life. Some folks just save differently.

In a not so humble brag I picked up three dozen of the these this past weekend for $10 a piece.View attachment 14361

Lots of things going on......some just dont fit...
Walmarts open...churches closed....
Bars must close at 10....so virus is more contagious after 10?
Applebees menu is 50% of normal.... so eating other items is more contagious?

Went to restaurant yesterday....no mask...every table full.... full menu...
Did wipe tables down between patrons..but dont they always do that?

Right now...just way to much scare tactics to believe its JUST about the virus
( i fully believe the virus is deadly and contagious....but.....)

I think it would be near impossible to pull off, but if Sankey could somehow do it, I would give him credit for once. But, if the SEC can gather a group of teams to join, maybe it's just cherry picking teams out there that are willing to play but don't have their conference backing (like OSU, Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, etc). One of the biggest, but far from the only, obstacles would still be some school presidents standing in the way. BUT, if it happened, and we ended up with 30-40 teams playing a season on regional schedules that still concluded in a 4 team playoff, it would more than solve the money concerns for those included schools from the negotiated TV package. Meanwhile, the will-nots would be left as the have-nots. If nothing else, I appreciate that the SEC is at least trying to make a go at this and not showing up the the battle with a white flag instead of a firearm.

Big Ten presidents move to verge of not playing college football this fall due to coronavirus concerns

Big Ten presidents would be following the MAC and Mountain West as the third FBS conference to cancel football in the fall. Other majors are deciding.

The point made is.........
TRYING.......yep....at least trying.....
What a nightmare.......but...wedont need a conference championship...or playoff....just some fricking entertaining games would do....
Generate some revenue for those wanting to participate...
For those that dont.... "see ya"

They do realize that some will see this for the shit show that it is and walk away from college athletics forever and never support the system again.

 

[Rolltide24]

I guess that frees us all up to go march in protests on Saturdays this fall. I’m positive they won’t vote against that activity or ban their students from that.

Applebees menu is 50% of normal.

That's gracious. I would think 90% of their menu isn't normal.

The B1G may be having an epiphany was we speak.

 

[planomateo]

I suppose the benefit here in all of this. It took years to understand concussions and responsibility. At least they recognize responsibility now?

Just not sure why they're waffling now. They look confused, lost, and devoid of leadership.

College football is a business. How often have we heard that?

So, if it's truly a business and these presidents ran it like a business we would not be seeing what we're seeing with decisions that will shut down college towns.

To borrow a phrase, "they don't have any skin in the game."

Not necessarily.

If they believe they can make more $ in the Spring than in the Fall, isn't that exactly what a business owner would do?

 

[rick4bama]

I have read that if the B1G does cancel this season. Some will try to join the Big 12? Have any body here hear or read this?
